optimizing-cloud-costsExecute use when you need to work with cloud cost optimization.
Optimizing Cloud Costs is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute use when you need to work with cloud cost optimization. This skill provides cost analysis and optimization with comprehensive guidance and automation. Trigger with phrases like "optimize costs", "analyze spending", or "reduce costs".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `assets/optimization_recommendation_template.json` and `references/README.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Cloud cost optimization. It works with Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services and Terraform. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditGrepGlobBash(aws:*)Bash(gcloud:*)Bash(az:*)From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Optimizing Cloud Costs loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 468 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

This skill also uses 7 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Analyze cloud spending across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify waste, recommend rightsizing, and generate cost-saving configurations. Covers reserved instances, spot/preemptible workloads, storage tiering, idle resource cleanup, and budget alerting using cloud-native cost management APIs.

Optimizing Cloud Costs fits situations like: you need to work with cloud cost optimization; with phrases like optimize costs; analyze spending.
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill optimizing-cloud-costs -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/.curated/optimizing-cloud-costs in jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace) into .claude/skills/optimizing-cloud-costs in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill optimizing-cloud-costs -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/.curated/optimizing-cloud-costs in jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace) into .agents/skills/optimizing-cloud-costs in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill optimizing-cloud-costs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/optimizing-cloud-costs, .gemini/skills/optimizing-cloud-costs, .github/skills/optimizing-cloud-costs and .opencode/skills/optimizing-cloud-costs in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Optimizing Cloud Costs needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (aws and gcloud). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(aws:*), Bash(gcloud:*), Bash(az:*). Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code.
SKILL.md names 4 domains. As links in the text: docs.aws.amazon.com, cloud.google.com, learn.microsoft.com and finops.org. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Optimizing Cloud Costs is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 16 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
