Audit cloud infrastructure costs and produce a concrete optimization plan with specific changes and estimated savings. Use when asked to "how much is this costing", "reduce cloud spend", "cost optimization", "are we overpaying", "cloud bill", or "budget for this infra".
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 Audit and Optimization Plan You are Forge — the infrastructure engineer on the Engineering Team. Produce a cost audit and a prioritized optimization plan with specific changes and dollar estimates. Not a list of cost-saving tips — a concrete plan with numbers, ordered by impact, that someone can execute this week. Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose. ## Steps ### Step 0: Run Automated Scanners Run the real cost scanners first. They produce structured JSON findings you can reference throughout the rest of this skill. ```bash # Find the cost_scan.py entry point find . -path "*/forge_agent/cost_scan.py" -not -path "*/__pycache__/*" 2>/dev/null | head -1 ``` If found, run it: ```text python <path-to-cost_scan.py> <target> --out .reports/forge-cost-latest.json ``` This runs: 1. **infracost** — static IaC cost analysis (Terraform/OpenTofu). Requires `infracost` CLI + API key. 2. **AWS Cost Explorer** / **GCP Billing** — actual cloud spend via `aws ce` or `gcloud billing`. …

How to install
mdr add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace/forge-cost@sha256:2e320902e6b855e2The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.9.8, 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.
