k8s-cost-visibility SKILL.md skillA
k8s-cost-visibility from initializ/forge is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add initializ/forge/k8s-cost-visibility@git:20260311.1066357Pins git:20260311.1066357 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Estimate Kubernetes infrastructure costs by querying cluster node, pod, PVC/PV, and LoadBalancer data, applying cloud pricing models, and producing cost attribution reports with storage and LoadBalancer cost tracking, grouped by namespace, workload, node, label, or annotation.
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
# Kubernetes Cost Visibility Estimates Kubernetes infrastructure costs by querying cluster node, pod, PVC/PV, and LoadBalancer resource data via `kubectl`, applying pricing models (cloud CLI auto-detection, static pricing map, or manual override), and producing cost attribution reports including storage and LoadBalancer costs. This skill is **read-only** — it never mutates cluster state. Supports grouping costs by: - **namespace** — total cost per namespace (compute + storage + LoadBalancer) - **workload** — cost per deployment/statefulset/daemonset - **node** — cost per node with utilization - **label** — cost grouped by any label key (e.g., `team`, `env`) - **annotation** — cost grouped by any annotation key Additional cost tracking: - **storage costs** — PVC/PV storage cost attribution per namespace - **LoadBalancer costs** — LoadBalancer service cost tracking per namespace - **waste detection** — unbound Persistent Volumes flagged as waste --- ## Tool Usage All data gathering goes through `cli_execute`. NEVER use http_request or web_search. …

How to install
mdr add initializ/forge/k8s-cost-visibility@sha256:be03124f2ba2f6ecThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260311.1066357, 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.
