Run a live EKS cluster cost efficiency assessment — analyze spending across 6 dimensions (compute efficiency, Spot/Graviton adoption, networking, storage, observability, idle resources), calculate a weighted 0-100 Cost Score, and generate a prioritized report with dollar-quantified findings and ready-to-apply remediation snippets. Use this skill when someone asks "how much am I wasting on EKS?", "run a cost audit on my cluster", "what's my biggest cost driver?…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# EKS Cost Intelligence ## Overview This skill performs a live cost efficiency assessment of your EKS cluster. It connects via AWS CLI and kubectl, analyzes cost signals across 6 dimensions, calculates a weighted Cost Score (0–100), and produces a detailed report with dollar-quantified findings, prioritized recommendations, and pre-filled remediation snippets. This skill is focused on **live cost assessment** — answering the question: "Where is this cluster wasting money, and how much can I save?" ## When to Use **Activate when the user:** - Asks "how much am I wasting?" or "what's my biggest cost driver?" - Requests a cost audit, cost review, or spending assessment on a live cluster - Needs dollar-denominated findings to justify optimization work to leadership - Wants cost attribution by namespace, team, or workload - Is preparing a FinOps review or cost reduction initiative - Asks which workloads are over-provisioned relative to actual usage - Wants to know their cluster's cost efficiency score **Do NOT activate when the user:** - Asks general cost optimization best practices → use `eks-best-practices` (static advisory) …

How to install
mdr add aws-samples/sample-apex-skills/eks-cost-intelligence@sha256:e196d91c1635fe1bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.2f8c104, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
