The user invoked /estimate with the argument: $ARGUMENTS.
Call the Budgetary estimate tool (provided by the bundled budgetary MCP server) with the task description as the query argument. Show the tool's result to the user verbatim — do not rewrite it, summarize it, or add commentary.
The tool returns a pre-flight token-spend estimate (a token range, a scenario label, and a confidence score) and records the estimate so the realized cost can be reconciled automatically when the session ends. If no API key is configured, the tool returns a short configure-your-key hint instead — show that verbatim too.
If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user what task they want estimated before calling the tool. Do not call the tool with an empty query.
Provides behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes, focusing on simplicity, surgical changes, assumption surfacing, and verifiable success criteria.
