cost-review

cost-review is a skill for Claude Code from eugeniosegala/claude-connoisseur. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,462 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that estimates monthly cloud costs from infrastructure and application configuration files. Cloud costs can include computing, databases, storage, networking, monitoring, and third-party services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review cloud compute, databases, storage, networking, serverless functions, queues, logging, CI/CD, and paid external services.
Why use it?
It turns deployment settings and expected usage into a cost estimate and highlights possible savings.

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-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 12d 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 Review

Analyse the project's infrastructure and application configuration to produce a monthly cost estimate with optimisation suggestions.

Files and instructions: $ARGUMENTS

What to review

  • Compute: VMs, containers, serverless functions, App Service plans, ECS/EKS tasks — instance types, vCPUs, memory, expected runtime hours
  • Database: RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, Cloud SQL, Cosmos DB, ElastiCache — instance class, storage, IOPS, read/write capacity, replicas
  • Storage: S3, GCS, Azure Blob, EBS/EFS — storage class, expected volume, request rates, lifecycle policies
  • Networking: NAT gateways, load balancers, data transfer (inter-region, internet egress), VPC endpoints, CDN
  • Serverless: Lambda, Cloud Functions, Azure Functions — memory allocation, expected invocations, duration, provisioned concurrency
  • Messaging & queues: SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Pub/Sub, Service Bus — message volume, retention, delivery retries
  • Monitoring & logging: CloudWatch, Datadog, log ingestion/storage, custom metrics, alarms
  • CI/CD & build: build minutes, artefact storage, container registry
  • Third-party services: APIs with usage-based pricing, SaaS integrations, DNS, domain registration, SSL certificates
  • Application-level costs: paid API calls found in code (AI/ML model APIs, payment gateways, geocoding, email/SMS providers like SendGrid, Twilio), HTTP requests to metered endpoints, SDK usage for pay-per-use services, webhook delivery volume
  • Hidden costs: cross-AZ data transfer, DNS query volume, KMS key operations, Secrets Manager API calls, IP address charges

Where to look

Scan the project for infrastructure files, configuration, and application code. Common sources include:

  • Terraform: *.tf, *.tfvars — resource definitions, instance types, storage configs
  • CloudFormation / SAM: template.yaml, template.json
  • CDK: lib/*.ts, lib/*.py — infrastructure as code
  • Pulumi: Pulumi.yaml, index.ts, __main__.py
  • Kubernetes: *.yaml in k8s/, manifests/, charts/ — resource requests/limits, replica counts, PVCs
  • Docker Compose: docker-compose.yml — service definitions, resource constraints
  • Serverless Framework: serverless.yml — function configs, memory, timeout
  • Application config: environment variables, connection strings, queue URLs — hints at services in use
  • Application code: HTTP client calls, SDK imports (@anthropic-ai/sdk, stripe, twilio, @sendgrid/mail, boto3, etc.), API key references, webhook handlers — indicators of pay-per-use services
  • Dependency manifests: package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Gemfile — paid SDK dependencies hint at service usage
  • CI/CD pipelines: .github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml, Jenkinsfile — build resources, runner types

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.
