Nex MeetCost

Meeting cost calculator. See what meetings actually cost in billable time. Per-attendee rates by role, recurring meeting projections (weekly/monthly/yearly),...

Security Scan

This skill appears to do what it says: a local CLI meeting-cost calculator that stores data under ~/.nex-meetcost, does not contact external services, and does not request secrets — but review the included setup script and license mismatch before installing.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the code and files: CLI to calculate and log meeting costs, role-based rates, recurring projections, local SQLite storage. No unexpected services, cloud APIs, or unrelated capabilities are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs running setup.sh and using the CLI commands; the runtime instructions and examples align with the code. All runtime actions are local (DB creation, reads/writes under ~/.nex-meetcost). No instructions to read unrelated system files or send data externally.

Install Mechanism

There is no platform install spec, but a setup.sh is included and SKILL.md instructs running it. setup.sh initializes the DB and writes a CLI wrapper to ~/.local/bin; it does not download external code or fetch remote resources. Because an included script will write files and create an executable wrapper, users should inspect it before running.

Credentials

The skill requires no credentials or special environment variables. The code optionally honors NEX_MEETCOST_DIR for data location, which is reasonable. No secrets/TOKEN/KEY env vars are requested or used.

Persistence & Privilege

The setup script creates persistent files in the user's home (~/.nex-meetcost) and installs a wrapper into ~/.local/bin (user-level persistence). always:false and no system-wide config changes are performed. This is normal for a CLI tool but worth noting.

Assessment

This skill is internally coherent and appears benign, but do these checks before installing: 1) Inspect setup.sh (it will create ~/.nex-meetcost, ~/.nex-meetcost/exports and a wrapper in ~/.local/bin and run the bundled Python to initialize the DB). 2) Confirm you are comfortable with a user-level executable being created (~/.local/bin) and add that to PATH if needed. 3) Note the licensing inconsistency: SKILL.md/ClawHub claim MIT-0 while LICENSE.txt/README reference AGPL-3.0 and a commercial-license contact — clarify license terms for your intended use. 4) Optionally verify the bundled Python files yourself; they perform only local DB I/O and formatting, and there are no network calls or telemetry in the code. If you are comfortable with those points, installation risk is low.

Meeting cost calculator. See what your meetings actually cost based on who attends and their hourly rates. Track recurring meetings and project monthly/yearly costs.

Requirements

Setup

bash setup.sh

Commands

Command	What it does
calc	Calculate cost (optional save)
log	Log a meeting with cost
show	Show meeting details

name:role:rate separated by commas. Role and rate are optional.

• Kevin:developer uses the default developer rate
• Kevin:developer:95 uses a custom rate

Tone Guide

Quick calculation:

"What does a 1-hour meeting with 3 developers and a manager cost?"

nex-meetcost calc 60 -a "Kevin:developer,Sarah:developer,Thomas:developer,Lisa:manager"

Log a meeting:

"Log today's 30-minute standup"

nex-meetcost log "Daily standup" 30 -a "Kevin:developer,Sarah:designer,Thomas:developer" --type standup --recurring 5

See what recurring meetings cost per year:

"How much do our recurring meetings cost?"

Storage

All data stored locally in ~/.nex-meetcost/meetcost.db (SQLite). No cloud, no telemetry.
