Tarmac analyzes your prompt and gives you a cost range before Claude Code starts working. It uses conformal prediction trained on 3,000 real SWE-bench tasks — hitting 81% in-range accuracy on an 80% target.
npm install -g tarmac-cost — fully open source, runs locally, no tracking, no accounts.
Would love feedback on estimate accuracy for your use cases - that's what I'm most focused on improving

Biggest limitation right now: it only sees the prompt text, not your codebase or conversation history. Short/vague prompts get wide ranges.
