cost-optimization-review

cost-optimization-review is a command for Claude Code from Amey-Thakur/AI-SKILLS. It costs 18 tokens per session (235 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of infrastructure and vendor spending that identifies possible savings and ranks them by size, effort, and risk. Infrastructure means the computing, storage, and services used to run software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine cloud costs, storage, unused resources, subscriptions, seats, and overlapping vendors when looking for realistic savings.
Why use it?
It separates genuine waste from capacity kept for busy periods and shows what each reduction could make riskier.

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-optimization-review 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 11d 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

You were invoked as a slash command. The user's input:

$ARGUMENTS

Use that input to fill this prompt's variables (take the main content, topic, or task from it; ask only if a required value is missing and not supplied), then follow the prompt exactly.

Usage: {usage}

Use cloud-cost-optimization, media-storage-tiering, and agent-vendor-operations.

Produce:

  • The largest costs and what drives each.
  • Idle and over-provisioned resources, with evidence.
  • Storage that should be tiered or expired.
  • Vendor subscriptions with unused seats or overlap.
  • Savings ranked by size, each with effort and risk.
  • What must not be cut, and why.
  • The realistic total.

Rules: attack the largest cost rather than the easiest. State what each cut makes riskier. Distinguish waste from capacity that exists for peak. Say where you cannot judge without utilisation data rather than assuming.

Changes

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.
