Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00076 | $0.00629 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00038 | $0.00315 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00126 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00063 |
Grade A, and why
azure-finops 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 10d 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AzureFinOps Skill
Azure cost optimization through reservation analysis, waste discovery, and stakeholder reporting.
Important
- All Azure operations are READ-ONLY — zero modifications to any resource
- Primary output language: Portuguese (BR) for stakeholder responses
- Python CLI fallback:
uv run python -m azure_finopswhen MCP/CLI auth unavailable
Context Files
AzureToolReference.md— MCP tools + CLI commands quick referenceReservationInventory.md— SKU matching and reservation interpretation SOPPricingComparison.md— PAYG vs RI pricing methodology and savings formulas
Workflow Routing
| Workflow | Trigger | File |
|---|---|---|
| ValidateCosts | "validate costs", "are these reservations or PAYG", "check billing" | Workflows/ValidateCosts.md |
| FindWaste | "find waste", "orphaned disks", "orphaned resources" | Workflows/FindWaste.md |
| CoverageAnalysis | "reservation coverage", "reservation gaps", "savings analysis" | Workflows/CoverageAnalysis.md |
| DraftResponse | "draft response for", "resposta para", "executive summary" | Workflows/DraftResponse.md |
Examples
Example 1 — Cost Validation:
"Are these January costs reservations or pay-as-you-go?" Routes to:
Workflows/ValidateCosts.md
Example 2 — Waste Discovery:
"Find orphaned disks and wasted resources across all subscriptions" Routes to:
Workflows/FindWaste.md
Example 3 — Executive Response:
"Draft a response for Jean about the January billing anomalies" Routes to:
Workflows/DraftResponse.md
Gotchas
- Reservation matching: SKU naming differs between usage data and purchase data —
Standard_D8s_v3in usage vsD8sv3in RI. A direct join misses 100%. - Savings Plan vs Reservation can stack — calculators that pick one ignore the combined savings.
- PAYG vs RI pricing: Marketplace listings are excluded from RI — surprise unreserved charges show up for SQL Server BYOL, etc.
- Cost data lag is 24-48 hours — same-day analyses miss recent activity entirely.
- RI scope (shared vs single-subscription): wrong scope means the RI applies to unintended workloads — and you discover it months later in an audit.
- Currency conversion in EA reports: exchange rate is locked at month close; mid-month estimates use a different rate than the final invoice.
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

azure-finops is a skill published in the GitHub repository julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills (10 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 629 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
