Cloud COGS and gross margin analysis. Breaks down cloud infrastructure cost of goods sold by cloud provider, product or feature, and cost category (compute, storage, data transfer, AI/GPU). Surfaces gross margin trends, unit economics (cost per consumption unit, cost per TB), committed-spend and discount impact, actuals vs forecast, and a period-over-period margin bridge. Triggers: COGS, cloud COGS, gross margin, cost of goods, cloud cost, compute cost, storage cost, cost per unit, cost per…

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

# Cloud COGS Analysis (Dehydrated)

## Intent

Break down cloud cost of goods sold and gross margin for any period or dimension.
Surfaces where costs are growing, which providers or product lines are driving changes,
how committed spend and discounts affect net cost, and what the trend looks like in unit
terms (cost per consumption unit, per TB, per compute hour).

Serves: product finance, FP&A, CFO office, and FinOps analysts who own the gross margin
line or the infrastructure cost narrative.

Not for: general operating expenses (T&E, headcount — use `budget_vs_actuals`), revenue
performance (use `revenue_analysis`), forward-looking scenario modeling (use
`scenario_planning`), cloud cost optimization and waste hunting (use a FinOps tool), or
contract negotiation modeling beyond a read-only summary of existing commitments.

> This skill was previously named `cogs_analysis`. Treat that phrase as a trigger alias.

## Behavior

### Trigger Detection

Activate on: "COGS", "cloud COGS", "gross margin", "cost of goods", "infrastructure
cost", "cloud cost", "compute cost", "storage cost", "cost per unit", "cost per TB",

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add snowflake-labs/coco-skills/cloud_cogs_analysis@sha256:7ed6a8df720c00ae

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
