find-top-resource-consumers SKILL.md skillA
find-top-resource-consumers from prometheus/prometheus-mcp is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add prometheus/prometheus-mcp/find-top-resource-consumers@git:20260721.4db318bPins git:20260721.4db318b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Find the top CPU, memory, or disk consumers. Use for capacity reviews, noisy-neighbor hunts, and top-N questions about which jobs, pods, or instances use the most resources or drive TSDB growth; builds topk() queries over discovered metrics.
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
# Finding Top Resource Consumers Identify which services, pods, or instances consume the most CPU, memory, or disk -- or drive the most TSDB growth. Resource metrics vary by environment (node_exporter, cadvisor, kubelet, ...), so discover what exists before querying. ## Getting oriented - label_values on __name__ (or series with regex matchers) reveals which resource metrics exist: node_cpu_seconds_total, container_memory_working_set_bytes, process_resident_memory_bytes, and so on. - metric_metadata confirms the type and meaning of whatever discovery turns up. - tsdb_stats answers the "who produces the most metrics" version of the question via seriesCountByMetricName. - Prometheus's own metrics exposes monitoring cost per target: query topk(10, scrape_samples_scraped) to find the heaviest targets, and a persistently high scrape_series_added means a target keeps minting new series. ## Topics worth exploring Treat these as starting points, adapting metric names to what discovery found: - Top CPU: CPU counters need rate() before ranking, e.g. with query: topk(10, sum by (pod) (rate(container_cpu_usage_seconds_total[5m]))) - Top memory: gauges rank directly: …

How to install
mdr add prometheus/prometheus-mcp/find-top-resource-consumers@sha256:a5576e28700f2b5cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260721.4db318b, 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.
