SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? FinOps teams need recurring summaries of Azure cost anomalies across many subscriptions, but manually aggregating CSV anomaly data, Jira tickets, and Azure Advisor recommendations into a digest is slow and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Monthly digest: Aggregates all anomalies for a month with top findings, budget-impact percentages, action items with savings estimates, recurring patterns, and new resources. - Weekly digest: Produces the same structure scoped to a week range, designed for the weekly cost meeting. - Advisor optimization sections: Summarizes right-sizing candidates and Savings Plan/Reservation recommendations with annual savings figures. - Confluence publishing: Prompts to publish the report to a Confluence page, with a --publish flag to force overwrite. - Use Case: Run the monthly digest for June to get a ranked table of the top 10 cost anomalies by dollar change, outstanding action items totaling estimated monthly savings, and a publishable Confluence report. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to generate the Azure cost report for last month, optionally filtered to one subscription and published to Confluence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a monthly Azure cost anomaly report?

Run the cost-report skill with a month argument such as "June" or "2026-06". It scans the cost knowledge base in GitLab, fetches the Jira Unit ticket for subscription summaries, and builds a digest with top anomalies, action items, and savings estimates.

How do I create a weekly cost report for a team meeting?

Pass "last week", "this week", or a date range like "2026-06-15 to 2026-06-21" as the argument. The weekly mode produces the same digest structure but skips the Jira subscription summary, since no weekly Unit ticket exists.

Can the cost report be published to Confluence automatically?

Yes. After generating the report, the skill checks whether a Confluence page with the report title exists in the PTD space. If none exists it prompts to publish; the --publish flag forces an overwrite of an existing page.

What happens if the cost knowledge base has no data for the requested month?

The skill reports that no anomaly data exists for that period and instructs you to run cost-extract first. If the freshness index is missing, it falls back to a full per-subscription repository tree scan.

When should I use cost-investigate instead of cost-report?

Use cost-investigate for deep investigation of a single resource in a specific subscription. The cost-report skill only produces aggregate digests and redirects arguments containing " in " to the investigation skill.
