cost-optimize

cost-optimize is a command for Claude Code from EngineerWithAI/engineerwith-agents. It costs 0 tokens per session (9,850 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cost-optimize, MIT.

A cloud cost analysis and optimization assistant for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It examines infrastructure spending while considering performance and reliability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review spending by service, find savings opportunities, add cost controls, and design more economical cloud infrastructure.
Why use it?
It helps identify unnecessary cloud costs and choose savings that do not undermine system operation.

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-optimize 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 1mo 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-optimize is a command published in the GitHub repository EngineerWithAI/engineerwith-agents (4 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 9,850 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to cost-optimize, differing in 5 lines, and is treated as a copy.
