Optimize cloud spend across AWS, GCP, and Azure using a structured FinOps framework covering waste detection, instance rightsizing, Reserved Instance and Savings Plan analysis, cost allocation tagging, budget thresholds, and vendor negotiation playbooks. Purpose: Reduces cloud bills by 20–40% with systematic, repeatable actions — not one-off fixes. When to trigger: (1) "Why is our cloud bill so high this month?" or "review our cloud costs," (2) "audit for waste or idle resources" — monthly or…

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

# FinOps Skill

## When to Activate

Trigger when the user asks to:
- Optimize cloud costs or analyze billing
- Rightsize instances or services
- Analyze reserved instance or Savings Plan coverage
- Build a cost allocation or showback report
- Detect cloud waste or idle resources
- Set up cloud budgets and alerts
- Plan scaling costs or vendor contracts

## Waste Detection Checklist

Run this checklist monthly:

### AWS
- [ ] Unattached EBS volumes (still accruing GB-month charges)
- [ ] Unattached Elastic IPs (charged when idle)
- [ ] EC2 instances with CPU < 20% sustained (over-provisioned)
- [ ] RDS instances with connections < 10% of max connections
- [ ] S3 buckets with no lifecycle policies (paying for old logs)
- [ ] CloudWatch custom metrics you no longer use
- [ ] NAT Gateway idle time (replaced by VPC endpoints?)
- [ ] Public S3 buckets (security + cost: data transfer charges)

### GCP
- [ ] Unused static external IPs
- [ ] Idle Cloud SQL instances
- [ ] Unused persistent disks
- [ ] Oversized machine types
- [ ] Load balancers with no backend traffic

### Azure
- [ ] Orphaned managed disks
- [ ] Idle virtual machines not deallocated
- [ ] Over-provisioned VM size

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tekkiiiii/the-agency/finops@sha256:8e5b975692a1f392

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260518.19f48dd, 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.
