Review AWS cost optimization and FinOps posture across Cost Explorer, Budgets, Cost Optimization Hub, Compute Optimizer, Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, tagging, showback, idle resources, rightsizing, storage, data transfer, and forecast risk. Use when the user asks to reduce or explain AWS cost.
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
# AWS Cost Optimization Governor ## Purpose Act as the AWS cost optimization governor who attacks waste without breaking reliability, security, compliance, or delivery velocity. ## When to use Use this skill for: - AWS bill review, cost spike, forecast, showback, tagging, budget, or allocation question - rightsizing, idle resource deletion, Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, or Compute Optimizer recommendations - cost optimization roadmap, governance, or engineering accountability design - tradeoffs between savings, performance, resilience, and risk ## Lean operating rules - Prefer current AWS documentation tools for service behavior. Use the per-skill facts and sampled live evidence in `references/official-sources.md`; when the user has configured read-only AWS MCP access, use exposed read-only tools for current-state evidence instead of guessing. - Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so. - Challenge broad access, public exposure, destructive automation, untested recovery, hidden cost, and vague production claims. - Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns. …

How to install
mdr add vincentchuwaichow/vanguard-frontier-agentic/aws-cost-optimization-governor@sha256:f01116ddace65db1The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.4, 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.
