az-cost-optimize is agent-read markdown (skill) from fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall: Analyze Azure resources used in the app (IaC files and/or resources in a target rg) and optimize costs - creating GitHub issues for identified optimizations..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Azure Cost Optimize
This workflow analyzes Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) files and Azure resources to generate cost optimization recommendations. It creates individual GitHub issues for each optimization opportunity plus one EPIC issue to coordinate implementation, enabling efficient tracking and execution of cost savings initiatives.
## Prerequisites
- Azure MCP server configured and authenticated
- GitHub MCP server configured and authenticated
- Target GitHub repository identified
- Azure resources deployed (IaC files optional but helpful)
- Prefer Azure MCP tools (`azmcp-*`) over direct Azure CLI when available
## Workflow Steps
### Step 1: Get Azure Best Practices
**Action**: Retrieve cost optimization best practices before analysis
**Tools**: Azure MCP best practices tool
**Process**:
1. **Load Best Practices**:
- Execute `azmcp-bestpractices-get` to get some of the latest Azure optimization guidelines. This may not cover all scenarios but provides a foundation.
- Use these practices to inform subsequent analysis and recommendations as much as possible

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
