Finds ways to cut cloud and SaaS spend (AWS, GCP, Azure, Vercel, Netlify, Supabase, Firebase, OpenAI and other LLM APIs, databases, CDNs) by analyzing billing exports and infrastructure code, then ranks savings by dollars and effort with exact fixes and risks. Use when the user asks to reduce cloud costs, review a cloud bill, optimize infrastructure spend, cut LLM API costs, or asks why their bill is so high.

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

# Cost Cutter 💸

Every recommendation comes with a dollar estimate, the effort and the risk.

## 1. Gather (read-only)

- **The bill**: a cost export by service and usage type (AWS Cost Explorer CSV, GCP billing export, Vercel or Supabase usage pages, LLM usage dashboards). Ask for the last 1–3 months.
- **Infrastructure as code** in the repo: Terraform, CDK, Pulumi, Kubernetes manifests, `serverless.yml`, `vercel.json`, Dockerfiles, CI workflows.
- **The code paths that drive cost**: LLM calls (model, max tokens, retries, caching), queries, cron jobs, image and video processing, logging volume.
- Use read-only CLI commands only if the user approves (for example `aws ce get-cost-and-usage`).

## 2. Checklist (common big wins)

| Area | Look for |
|---|---|
| Compute | Idle/oversized instances, dev envs running 24/7, no autoscaling, x86 where ARM (Graviton) works, on-demand where Savings Plans/committed use fit steady load |
| Storage | No lifecycle rules, old snapshots/backups, unattached volumes, logs kept forever, S3 Standard for cold data |
| Network | NAT gateway data processing, cross-AZ/region traffic, missing CDN caching, egress-heavy assets |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add milad-ahmd/agent-skills/cost-cutter@sha256:fa0a3778342ef4f2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.7c7d700, 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.
