Turns cloud billing exports and provider alert emails into a short digest of what moved, what is anomalous and what to ask an owner about. Use when the user asks about cloud spend, what changed on the bill, why costs went up, to prepare a FinOps review, or to explain a cost spike.

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 Cost Digest

Explains what moved on the bill, with the question to ask each owner.

## Inputs
- A billing export the user supplies, through **Excel**
- Provider alert and budget emails, through **Email**
- `references/config.md` for the materiality floor, owner mapping and the comparison period

## Procedure
1. **Load the export.** Without it, say so and stop. Alert emails alone cannot produce a digest;
   they can produce an alert summary, which is a different and lesser thing.
2. **Compare** the current period against the comparison period in config, by service and by the
   tag or account that config names as the ownership dimension.
3. **Surface only movement above the materiality floor**, in absolute and percentage terms both.
   A 400% rise on 12 units of currency is noise and must not lead the digest.
4. **For each movement, state** the service, the owner from the mapping, the absolute change, the
   percentage, and whether anything in the mailbox explains it: a deployment notice, a budget
   alert, a migration thread.
5. **Separate facts from inference explicitly.** "Spend rose 38%" is a fact from the export.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-cowork-bots/cloud-cost-digest@sha256:fa4e83c7f62d904e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.da4984f, 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.
