Runaway Guard is a specialized FinOps skill for AI developers that treats API cost as a core technical constraint alongside time and space complexity. It mandates a rigorous pre-write protocol before any paid API code is generated, requiring developers to define explicit cost contracts, concrete iteration bounds, and provider-side hard caps. By auditing for amplifier patterns like unbounded retries, self-rescheduling jobs, or missing idempotency keys, it ensures that logical bugs do not manifest as catastrophic financial surprises, protecting development budgets from accidental overages.
