k8s-cost-visibility skillA

k8s-cost-visibility is agent-read markdown (skill) from initializ/forge: 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..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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

Latest version
mdr add initializ/forge/k8s-cost-visibility@git:20260311.1066357
Exact content
mdr add initializ/forge/k8s-cost-visibility@sha256:be03124f2ba2f6ec

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
