 "page_title": "How to get a plain text cost summary for a project with Bough",
 "summary": "Print a project's sittings, tasks and costs to the terminal or a file.",
 "who": "A developer or team lead who wants a quick written record of how much agent work went into a project, without opening a browser.",
 "problem": "The browser view is hard to paste into notes or a status update, and a plain list is quicker to scan.",
 "outcome": "An indented text list with prompt counts, changes to files, hours at the keyboard, commits and the API-rate total, saved to a file if you want it.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Bough as described in the README.",
  "Run `bough --list` to see every project with history.",
  "Run `bough <project-name> --text` to print the summary to the terminal. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `bough <project-name> --text -o notes.txt` to save it to a file. (inferred, check the README)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the bough repo at github.com/nickelsec/bough, run `bough --list` and then `bough <project-name> --text -o summary.txt` for the project named <project-name>. Confirm that summary.txt exists and contains a total dollar figure labelled as API-rate cost.",
 "agents": [

 ],
 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The text view counts what the agent did from its transcripts, so it may not match the number your agent host shows, and Bough says so in its output.",
