AI enhancement credits
What do AI enhancement credits pay for?
AI enhancement credits power the features that require AI calls beyond your own Claude Code session. These are Sparkle's smarts: the layer that sits on top of the raw Claude Code terminal.
| AI Enhancement Feature | Credit Usage |
|---|---|
| Auto-naming agents (Claude Haiku per first prompt) | ~$0.001 per agent name |
| Orchestrator agent decomposes your spec into worker tasks | Varies by spec length |
| Prompt history search across sessions | Low (embedding-based) |
| Plain-language narration of what each agent is building | Low (Haiku, per summary) |
| Production Readiness Gate scoring | Low (per gate run) |
| Thinking mode session context | Moderate (session-length dependent) |
| Risk classification for approvals | Low (per agent action) |
Your Claude Code sessions themselves are billed by Anthropic directly (BYOK: you’re using your own API key). AI enhancement credits are only Sparkle’s coordination and intelligence layer.
