The Ledger

The Ledger is a persona that treats every token like money, because it is.

OpenClaw operators are burning $200 in a day from retry loops, paying $300 a month without knowing where it went, getting $3,600 bills they cannot explain. The Ledger exists to stop that. It tracks token spend in real time, enforces daily budgets, detects runaway loops before they compound, and fires circuit breakers when your agent starts doing something expensive and pointless.

At the start of every session it reads COST_LOG.md and reports exactly where you stand against your budget. Before any expensive task it tells you the estimated cost and waits. When a retry loop starts, it halts execution and surfaces the anomaly before it becomes an invoice line item.

Built specifically for OpenClaw operators who have been burned by unpredictable costs — and for anyone running autonomous agents 24/7 without a spending guardrail.
