Ai Economic Tracker

# AI Economic Tracker

Track daily costs, income, and net worth for AI agents. Implements economic pressure-driven decision making: "work or learn" based on financial runway.

Inspired by HKUDS/ClawWork research on economic incentives for AI agents.

## Features

- **Balance Tracking**: Monitor current balance, total income, and total costs
- **Survival Status**: Automatic status classification (thriving/stable/struggling/critical/bankrupt)
- **Runway Calculation**: Days remaining before funds run out
- **Service Valuation**: Estimate task value using BLS wage data
- **Work/Learn Decision**: Economic pressure-driven task prioritization
- **Daily Reports**: Formatted economic status reports
- **JSONL Logs**: Append-only transaction history

## Use Cases

1. **Agent Cost Management**: Track API costs, compute resources, and operational expenses
2. **Revenue Tracking**: Log income from completed tasks or services
3. **Economic Decision Making**: Decide whether to work (earn) or learn (invest) based on financial status
4. **Service Pricing**: Estimate fair pricing using US Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data
5. **Financial Monitoring**: Daily/weekly economic health checks
