**Status: off.** Agentic Autonomous is not implemented; it has no token cost.
See [`docs/modes.md` § Agentic Autonomous](modes.md#agentic-autonomous).

### Meta

The **Meta** mode is mostly framework machinery — setup, utilities,
dashboards — whose cost is per machine or per repo rather than per
maintainership item, so it is not budgeted per invocation here (see
[`docs/modes.md` § Meta](modes.md#meta)). The exception with a
recurring per-item shape is `committer-onboarding`, which runs once
per new committer or PMC member:

| Skill | Typical invocation | Token range | Primary cost driver |
|---|---|---|---|
| `committer-onboarding` | One post-vote onboarding walkthrough | 10K–30K | Mostly procedural; podling vs TLP path length |
