What You Can Build

Build a Monthly Savings Plan

Review recent spend, rank waste, and produce actions with estimated savings and risk levels.

Rightsize Database Infrastructure

Compare usage trends against instance, storage, and backup settings before proposing safer capacity changes.

Create Cost Governance Controls

Design budgets, alerts, tagging rules, dashboards, and approval gates for ongoing cost management.

Try These Prompts

Find Quick Savings

Given my cloud cost export for the last 30 days, identify waste by service, resource, and tag. Prioritize three safe quick wins.

Rightsize a Database Fleet

Review these database metrics and monthly costs. Recommend rightsizing, storage, backup, and reservation changes with risk, savings, and rollback notes.

Design Multi-Cloud Cost Controls

Create a cost control plan for AWS, Azure, and GCP. Include budgets, alerts, tagging policy, dashboard metrics, and ownership cadence.

Build an Approval Workflow

Design an approval-based optimization workflow using the implementation playbook. Include analysis steps, dry-run checks, change windows, and rollback criteria.

Best Practices

Use recent billing, utilization, and tag data before making recommendations.
Start with dry-run reviews and low-risk actions before production changes.
Pair every savings estimate with owner, impact, validation, and rollback details.

Avoid

Do not delete or resize resources without backups, approvals, and rollback paths.
Do not buy long-term commitments before validating usage stability.
Do not treat untagged shared costs as savings without owner confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cloud providers does this skill cover?

It includes optimization patterns for AWS, Azure, and GCP, with stronger examples for AWS workflows.

Can it make changes automatically?

It can draft workflows and examples, but users should approve and test changes before production execution.

What data should I provide?

Provide billing exports, utilization metrics, resource inventories, tags, ownership data, and business constraints.

Does it support database cost optimization?

Yes. It can review instance sizing, storage, backups, idle capacity, and reservation options.

How does it handle risk?

It asks for validation, dry runs, rollback plans, and staging checks before risky cost changes.

Can Claude, Codex, and Claude Code use it?

Yes. The report lists support for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.
