cloud-cost-analyzer

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the pervasive problem of unoptimized cloud spend, untagged untraceable resources, missed commitment savings opportunities, and idle infrastructure that silently drains budget month over month, giving engineering and FinOps teams proactive control over costs before bills arrive.

Core Features & Use Cases

• PR-Time Cost Analysis: Flags cost regressions in infrastructure-as-code changes before deployment, integrating with tools like Infracost to post cost diffs directly to pull requests for Terraform, Pulumi, and CloudFormation changes.
• Multi-Cloud Waste Detection: Identifies idle resources, oversized instances, missing storage lifecycle policies, and untagged resources across AWS, GCP, and Azure environments, with specialized patterns for AI/GPU workloads.
• FinOps Compliance Auditing: Audits commitment coverage, tagging policy enforcement, and anomaly alert setup to align with 2026 FinOps Framework best practices, providing prioritized, actionable savings recommendations.
• Use Case: A team deploying a new Terraform-based EKS cluster can use this Skill to catch missing cost tags, uncommitted GPU instance types, and absent S3 lifecycle policies in the PR, preventing thousands in monthly waste before resources are provisioned.
