Pull request overview
This PR updates the Chronicle cost-tips skill prompt to focus default cost analysis on interactive VS Code chat sessions, while allowing explicit per-surface analysis for other agent types.
Changes:
- Adds default
agent_namescoping for cloud and local backends. - Adds an agent mix check and guidance for separate opt-in analysis of other agent surfaces.
- Updates cost-tip guidance to avoid mixing CLI, Coding Agent, Code Review, and subagent usage into VS Code chat recommendations.

/chronicle:cost-tipspreviously analyzed every session in the store, mixing VS Code chat with Copilot CLI, Coding Agent, Code Review, and any subagents/custom agents into one result and producing skewed, hard-to-action recommendations.This change scopes it to interactive VS Code chat by default , but also adds explicit guidance for widening: after the initial pass, the agent surfaces the other agent_name values it observed in the mix check and, on request, re-runs the analysis against that single surface (e.g. Copilot CLI, Copilot Coding Agent) without mixing it back in.
