cloud-cost-review is a skill for Codex from jeremylongworth-source/AgentSkills. It costs 51 tokens per session (311 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for reviewing the costs and cost risks of cloud hosting, CI, storage, databases, and monitoring systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps identify infrastructure cost drivers, assess estimate confidence, plan right-sizing and retention controls, and define alerts and review routines.
Why use it?
It reveals unbounded usage, unnecessary resources, retention risks, and missing budgets before they create unexpected bills.

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

cloud-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 7d 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

Cloud Cost Review

Core Workflow

  1. Identify provider, services, environments, workloads, usage drivers, and billing owner.
  2. Review cost drivers: compute, storage, database, bandwidth, logs, traces, build minutes, queues, backups, and managed services.
  3. Flag unbounded scale, duplicate environments, retention risk, over-provision settings, and missing budgets or alerts.
  4. Recommend right-sizing, retention limits, scheduling, caching, quotas, and budget guardrails.
  5. Separate rough estimates from verified billing data.
  6. Include monitoring and review cadence.

Safety Rules

  • Do not invent current spend, pricing, discounts, or commitments.
  • Verify provider-specific prices from current official pricing pages before making precise cost claims.
  • Do not delete resources, reduce retention, or change capacity without approval.

Deliverable Shape

For cost reviews, provide:

  • Scope and assumptions
  • Cost drivers
  • Risk areas
  • Estimate confidence
  • Guardrails and alerts
  • Optimization options
  • Approval needs
  • Follow-up data needed

References

  • Read references/cloud-cost-review-checklist.md when reviewing cloud or hosting cost risk.

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.
