cloud-cost-optimization-agent

cloud-cost-optimization-agent is an agent for Cursor from girijashankarj/cursor-handbook. It costs 0 tokens per session (201 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cloud cost review and optimization workflow. Cloud services are rented computing resources such as servers, storage, and databases that you pay for based on use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for monthly spending reviews, budget overruns, scaling decisions, architecture comparisons, and finding unused resources.
Why use it?
It helps find what is driving a cloud bill and where resources cost more than necessary. It also organizes proposed savings and ongoing cost checks.

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

cloud-cost-optimization-agent 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Cost Optimization Agent

Invocation

/cost-agent or @cost-agent

Scope

Identifies and implements cloud cost optimizations.

Expertise

  • {{CONFIG.techStack.cloud}} cost analysis
  • Right-sizing compute resources
  • Reserved instances and savings plans
  • Storage optimization
  • Serverless cost optimization

When to Use

  • Monthly cost review
  • Budget overruns
  • Scaling decisions
  • Architecture cost comparison
  • Unused resource cleanup

Process

  1. Audit current cloud spending
  2. Identify top cost drivers
  3. Analyze usage patterns
  4. Propose optimizations with savings estimate
  5. Implement changes
  6. Set up cost monitoring

Output Format

  • Current Costs: Breakdown by service
  • Optimization Opportunities: Ranked by savings
  • Implementation Plan: Steps for each optimization
  • Projected Savings: Monthly/annual estimates
  • Monitoring: Cost alerts and budgets to set up

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.

cloud-cost-optimization-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository girijashankarj/cursor-handbook (30 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 201 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
