What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the identification of Azure cost savings by analyzing deployed resources and optional IaC files, validating usage and pricing, and producing prioritized, evidence-backed optimization recommendations ready for tracking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resource Discovery & IaC Analysis: Discover subscriptions, resource groups, resources, and detect IaC templates to compare intended vs. deployed configurations.
  • Usage and Cost Validation: Collect monitoring and usage metrics, validate SKUs and tiers, and estimate current vs. target monthly costs using Azure pricing references.
  • Actionable Issue Creation: Create individual GitHub issues for each optimization and a coordinating EPIC with priority scoring, implementation steps, risks, and validation checklists.
  • Use Case: FinOps or cloud engineering teams running periodic cost reviews to convert findings into tracked remediation work and realize measurable savings.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to analyze a specific Azure resource group (and detected IaC files if available) and create GitHub issues for each cost optimization opportunity.
