finops-discover

finops-discover is a command for Claude Code from glassity/agent-skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,425 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only command that collects cloud-cost ideas, classifies each as Rate, Usage, Architectural, or Governance, and records when each idea was found. It produces the candidate set for later FinOps assessment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover ideas from open opportunities, cost breakdowns, and commitment recommendations, optionally limiting results by AWS service, account, or date.
Why use it?
It gives each idea a clear type and date, creating a basic record of where it came from and whether it can be assessed. It does not change the underlying records.

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

finops-discover 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/finops-discover — step 1: Discovery

Shared vocabulary — the four idea types, the lifecycle stages, the gate definitions — lives in the glassity-five-steps skill. The idea types are repeated below so this command is runnable on its own.

Purpose

Collect optimization ideas from open opportunities, cost breakdowns, and commitment recommendations, and classify each into exactly one of four types. Stamp every idea with a discovery date so the pipeline has a provenance trail. Then apply the typed-idea gate: an idea without a type and a date is not assessable by /finops-assess.

This command is read-only. It mutates nothing; it produces the classified candidate set that /finops-assess scores.

Variables

Variable Source Default Meaning
SERVICE --service all Restrict discovery to one AWS service, e.g. EC2, RDS.
ACCOUNT --account active Restrict to one AWS account id.
SINCE --since none Only surface ideas newer than this date.
PROACTIVE --proactive off Reserved for infrastructure-as-code scanning; not implemented.

Tool surface

  • CLI: glassity --output=json opp list for open opportunities, plus the cost-summary, cost-by-service, cost-mom-trends, rec-ec2-list, rec-rds-coverage, and rec-rds-recommendations skills as further idea sources.
  • What opp list actually filters on: --stage, --min-savings (USD per month), --limit, --page. That is the whole set. --service, --account, and --since from this command's arguments have no server-side equivalent, so fetch the rows and filter them client-side on title, opportunity_type_identifier, and created_at.
  • No mutation verbs. Discovery reads.
  • Binary check: run command -v glassity before the first CLI call. If it is missing, stop and tell the user to install it with brew install glassity/tap/glassity or from https://github.com/glassity/cli/releases. No account yet? Sign up at app.glassity.cloud.

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.
