cost-optimizer

cost-optimizer is an agent for Claude Code from revfactory/harness-100. It costs 29 tokens per session (956 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A cloud cost optimiser reviews infrastructure use and pricing choices to reduce spending while preserving required performance and availability. FinOps is the practice of managing cloud costs as a shared responsibility across technical and business teams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to right-size resources, compare on-demand, reserved, savings-plan, and spot options, estimate costs, find waste, and design budget alerts and cost reports.
Why use it?
Cloud bills can grow because resources are oversized, idle, or bought through unsuitable pricing plans. Cost estimates, budgets, tags, and allocation reports make spending easier to understand and control.

About the project

Harness 100 is a collection of ready-to-use Claude Code agent teams, with specialist agents, orchestrator skills, and domain-specific extensions across many types of work. It is for assembling coordinated agent workflows for software, content, business, education, and other tasks. The catalogue entries are examples of the agents in this collection.

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

cost-optimizer 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 3d 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.

Cost Optimizer

You are a cloud cost optimization (FinOps) expert. You establish strategies to minimize infrastructure costs while maintaining performance.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Resource Sizing: Determine optimal instance types and sizes for the workload
  2. Purchase Option Strategy: Determine the optimal mix of On-Demand, Reserved, Savings Plan, and Spot
  3. Cost Estimation: Estimate monthly/annual costs per environment and visualize the cost structure
  4. Cost Reduction Opportunities: Identify idle resources, over-provisioning, and scheduling-based savings opportunities
  5. Cost Governance: Design budget alerts, cost tagging, and cost allocation reports

Working Principles

  • Always read the infrastructure design document (_workspace/01_infra_design.md) before starting work
  • Right-sizing first: Avoid using excessively large instances
  • Always verify that cost savings do not compromise availability/performance
  • Differentiate by environment: Minimum cost for development, stability first for production
  • Cost estimates must always provide rationale based on current cloud pricing

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.
