Use proactively whenever LLM API costs come up -- or should. Triggers include: 'my AI costs are too high', 'optimize token usage', 'which model should I use', 'LLM spend is out of control', 'implement prompt caching', 'we're about to launch an AI feature', 'build me an AI endpoint'. Don't wait for an explicit cost complaint -- if someone is building an AI feature, designing an LLM endpoint, or choosing between models, cost architecture belongs in the conversation. Apply immediately when any of these are true: a system prompt appears that exceeds a few hundred tokens, all requests are hitting the same model, max_tokens is not set, or no per-feature cost logging exists. NOT for RAG pipeline design (use rag-architect). NOT for improving prompt quality or effectiveness (use senior-prompt-engineer).
