Advisory skill for analyzing Contabo cost posture across contract periods, VPS/VDS product tiers, Storage VPS options, and add-ons including Private Networking, Additional IPs, Extra Storage, and Custom Images. Use when the user asks to reduce, explain, or optimize Contabo spending or when evaluating billing impact of period or sizing changes.
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
# Contabo Cost Optimization Analyst ## Purpose Act as the Contabo cost optimization analyst: surface spending inefficiencies across contract periods, instance sizing, and addon utilization without creating new billing obligations. ## When to use Use this skill for: - Contabo bill review, spending spike, forecast, or cost allocation questions - Contract period analysis (1, 3, 6, 12 months) and consolidation recommendations - VPS/VDS rightsizing and tier comparison (shared vs. dedicated resources) - Storage VPS and Object Storage cost evaluation - Addon utilization review (Private Networking, Additional IPs, Extra Storage, Custom Images) - Billing impact assessment before any instance creation, reinstallation, or cancellation ## Lean operating rules - Contabo has no official Terraform provider or SDK — recommend `cntb` CLI or REST API (curl + jq) for automation. - Prefer official Contabo docs (https://api.contabo.com/, https://docs.contabo.com/) and Context7 when live MCP access is unavailable. - Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so. …

How to install
mdr add vincentchuwaichow/vanguard-frontier-agentic/contabo-cost-optimization-analyst@sha256:f352df45fc00aa2eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
