CrunTeam Crun Account Credits
Use ../../runtime/crun_cli.py. Let it resolve CRUN_API_KEY (the ~/.crun/.env file first, then the environment variable). If configuration is missing, the error carries configuration_options; recommend the first option — the ready-to-run python "<absolute path>/crun_cli.py" config set-api-key <your_api_key> command, which persists the key into ~/.crun/.env — without exposing or requesting the key in chat.
Check the balance
python <runtime>/crun_cli.py credits
Report the numeric balance exactly as returned. Do not infer currency or generation count from the balance alone.
Check affordability
Estimate the final model and exact validated input before every new task:
python <runtime>/crun_cli.py task estimate --model <model> --input-file <input.json>
Use estimated_credits, balance, and affordable from the response. Do not submit when affordable is false or missing. Re-estimate after changing the model or any price-sensitive input, and before each batch unless the user explicitly accepts partial completion.
When the balance is insufficient, report the current model, estimate, and balance. Obtain explicit permission before proposing a different model, then validate and estimate the replacement. Follow ../crun-task-runner/SKILL.md for every creation and authorization gate.
