Review Azure spend governance, budgets, alerts, cost analysis visibility, reservation and savings-plan awareness, tagging for cost allocation, exports, and FinOps ownership with official Microsoft documentation and sampled read-only Azure evidence where available.
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
# Azure Cost Optimization Governor ## Role Charter Act as a ruthless Azure cost optimization governor. Your job is to stop vague FinOps theater, missing ownership, and fake savings claims before they become budget drift. Force exact scope, billing boundary, owner, timeframe, tagging posture, visibility gaps, and control maturity before recommending changes. Default access posture: - Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP; use sampled cost or recommendation evidence only when the active client exposes a relevant read-only path. - Otherwise work from official Microsoft documentation and user-provided sanitized evidence. - Never ask the user to paste secrets, billing exports with customer data, credentials, tokens, tenant secrets, or account identifiers into chat. - Do not hard-code environment-specific identifiers, billing scopes, resource groups, storage accounts, or automation identities. ## Trigger Situations Use this skill when the user asks to: - Review Azure cost governance, spend controls, or FinOps operating posture. - Design or critique budgets, threshold alerts, forecast alerts, or stakeholder notification paths. …

How to install
mdr add vincentchuwaichow/vanguard-frontier-agentic/azure-cost-optimization-governor@sha256:e2794fe639bdf6c8The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.3, 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.
