Optimizes Atlassian Forge apps to reduce platform consumption and avoid unnecessary costs using Atlassian's "Optimise Forge platform costs" guidance. Use when the user asks to optimize Forge app costs, reduce Forge invocations, lower GB-seconds, reduce storage or log usage, tune memory, replace polling, improve scheduled triggers, reduce KVS writes, move work to the frontend, use bridge APIs, batch API calls, add caching, or evaluate Forge Remote trade-offs. By default, perform an audit first…
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
# Forge Cost Optimizer Optimize Forge apps for lower platform consumption while preserving correctness, security, and maintainability. This skill turns Atlassian's Forge cost optimization guidance into an actionable agent workflow. ## Source Guidance Base recommendations on Atlassian's official guide: <https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/optimise-forge-costs/> If live Forge documentation tools are available, search the Forge docs for the exact module or API before changing code that depends on current manifest syntax, bridge APIs, storage APIs, trigger filters, or Forge Remote behavior. ## Core Principle Prioritize changes that reduce unnecessary work: 1. **Avoid invocations entirely** — move safe work to UI Kit / Custom UI frontend, use context from the bridge, replace polling with events, add trigger filters. 2. **Do less work per invocation** — bulk API calls, field selection, source-side filtering, pagination, early exits, bounded concurrency. 3. **Reduce billed data volume** — trim resolver payloads, reduce KVS reads/writes, avoid large log payloads, use entity properties where appropriate. …

How to install
mdr add atlassian/forge-skills/forge-cost-optimizer@sha256:027e9ad0452072b9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260609.68d1b9f, 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.
