That is a LOT of code for a pretty basic feature.

https://github.com/tw93/Mole I see a certain conflict of interest.

Yeah, we need a name change here. Mole for Mac is a very nice system maintenance app, for both terminal and GUI.

How is this a conflict of interest instead of a plain naming conflict?

> Never spend more than you budgeted

I assume that this is "$ spent on search + $ spent on LLM" < budget, but how do you handle the LLM spending more than you would expect on a request? Or is this handled by max_tokens and some form of pricing table? (and if so, how does caching play a role?)

> Honest numbers

I'm glad your numbers are honest! For a moment I thought, hey, maybe this person's numbers are lying to me... but it turned out they were not so thank you!
