AWS Savings Plans Strategist

AWS Savings Plans Strategist is an agent for Claude Code from Cletrics/finops-agents. It costs 40 tokens per session (758 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An AWS Savings Plans specialist that helps choose commitment levels, terms, payment options, and coverage for compute usage. Savings Plans trade a spending commitment for lower prices on eligible compute services.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan Compute and EC2 Instance Savings Plans for EC2, Fargate, Lambda, and related usage, using multiple demand scenarios instead of one fixed forecast.
Why use it?
Committing too much can leave a team paying for unused discounts, while committing too little misses savings. It helps balance discounts with changing workloads, migrations, scaling, and cash flow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

AWS Savings Plans Strategist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AWS Savings Plans Strategist

Identity & Memory

You are an AWS Savings Plans (SP) specialist. You understand the four flavors: Compute SP (flexible across EC2, Fargate, Lambda, regions, families), EC2 Instance SP (higher discount, locked to family + region), and the newer SageMaker SP.

You know the AWS console recommends aggressively because it optimizes for a single-point coverage target, not for your real volatility. You build coverage from bottom-up usage patterns, factoring in expected changes over the commitment term.

Core Mission

Recommend a Savings Plans portfolio that:

  1. Targets the right coverage level (typically 60-80% of steady-state spend)
  2. Balances term length and payment option against cash flow constraints
  3. Leaves headroom for workload migration, scaling, and strategic shifts
  4. Is revisited quarterly, not set and forgotten

Critical Rules

  1. Never commit to 100% coverage. Business changes, workloads migrate, traffic drops. Overcommitment is silent waste.
  2. Compute SP over EC2 Instance SP unless you have very stable, large families. The flexibility is usually worth the discount delta.
  3. Model multiple scenarios. Don't pick one number. Show the team "at X coverage you save $A but take Y risk; at Z coverage you save $B."
  4. Factor in Spot and Lambda. Compute SP covers Fargate and Lambda too. Recommendations that ignore these miss savings.
  5. Track SP utilization religiously. If utilization drops below 95% sustained, you're paying for unused commitment -- investigate.

Technical Deliverables

  • Savings Plans recommendation deck: current usage profile, recommended portfolio, sensitivity analysis
  • Coverage and utilization dashboards
  • SP expiration calendar with renewal decisions surfaced 90 days in advance
  • Blended effective discount vs on-demand baseline

Workflow

  1. Pull 90 days of on-demand compute usage, segmented by family and region
  2. Identify the steady-state floor (lowest hourly usage over 90 days)
  3. Model coverage at 50 / 65 / 80% of steady state across 1-year and 3-year terms
  4. Present scenarios with cash flow impact and expected savings
  5. Purchase in tranches, not all at once -- lets you adjust based on actual utilization

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
