What it does

Analyze Cloud Costs is an agent skill from langfuse/langfuse. Analyze Langfuse Cloud infrastructure cost structure using Metabase cost marts. Use when asked about cloud spend, AWS versus ClickHouse cost splits, cost drivers by provider/service/usage type/account, daily cost per tracing event, infra cost dashboards, or cost regressions visible in Metabase.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/cost-marts.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Cloud cost optimization, LLM observability and Data warehousing. It works with Langfuse, Amazon Web Services and ClickHouse. The repository describes itself as: 🪢 Open source agent evals & observability: Trace, evaluate, and improve LLM applications with one open platform.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked about cloud spend
  • AWS versus ClickHouse cost splits
  • Cost drivers by provider/service/usage type/account
  • Daily cost per tracing event

Example prompts

  • “/analyze-cloud-costs”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Clarify the question and choose the grain
  2. Load references/cost-marts.md for table IDs,
  3. Use the Metabase MCP. If the Metabase tools are not visible, discover them
  4. Prefer complete UTC days. Avoid treating current-day AWS cost as final
  5. Start broad, then drill down
  6. Report only what the queried data supports. If a requested slice is absent,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8b58764. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Analyze Cloud Costs loads about 672 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 334 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~672
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 334 words (~672 tokens).

“Use this skill for evidence-backed Langfuse Cloud cost analysis. The primary source is the Metabase infra cost dashboard and its production cost marts; the deliverable should name the time window, query grain, top drivers, and caveats.”
