Cost visibility and tag governance for platform changes. Estimates the monthly cost of a Terraform pull request with Infracost, sets up in-cluster cost allocation by namespace and label with OpenCost, and enforces required cost tags in four layers (Terraform default_tags and variable validation, a Conftest gate on the plan, AWS Config REQUIRED_TAGS, and a Kyverno namespace-label policy). Use when asked "what will this cost", "add cost estimates to PRs", "who owns this spend…
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
Make cost visible before a change merges, attributable after it runs, and impossible to leave untagged.
Read `references/finops.md` before responding. It holds the four-layer tag pattern and what each layer misses, the Infracost workflow and CLI, OpenCost configuration, and rollback. The working files are in `examples/finops`.
The required tag keys for this organisation are `${user_config.required_tag_keys}`. If that reads as a literal placeholder or is empty, it is not configured: use `owner, cost-center, environment` and say so.
## Mode dispatch
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| `estimate` | Monthly cost difference of a Terraform change with Infracost; the PR workflow from `examples/finops/workflows/infracost.yml` |
| `allocate` | OpenCost via Flux, pointed at the user's Prometheus, with a per-cluster ID |
| `tags` | The four-layer tag enforcement for the user's keys: provider `default_tags` and validation, the Conftest policy and its tests, the AWS Config rule, the Kyverno policy (Audit first) |
| `audit` | Find untagged resources and unowned namespaces now: AWS Config compliance for `REQUIRED_TAGS`, namespaces missing cost labels, OpenCost's idle and unallocated cost |

How to install
mdr add nitinjain999/platform-skills/finops@sha256:61551e06b1d2c187The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.e8166a5, 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.
