audit-infra-cost

audit-infra-cost is a skill for Claude Code from kensaurus/cursor-kenji. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,353 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only review of spending on hosting, databases, file storage, bandwidth, and serverless services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine hosting bills, resource utilization, storage, egress, database costs, and possible savings plans.
Why use it?
It identifies infrastructure cost leaks such as unexpected data transfer, unused resources, storage growth, or inefficient usage without treating reliability as expendable.

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

audit-infra-cost 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.

audit-infra-cost — Hosting spend without hurting reliability

Degree of freedom: HIGH — quantify and plan. Phase 2 stays plan-only until approved. Never propose a cut that weakens backups (plan-backup-dr).

Read-only. Find where money leaks in the infra bill and plan cuts that do not trade away reliability.

For a solo operator, infra cost is runway. A silent egress or storage leak can double a bill nobody is watching.

Quantify and plan. Apply only on approval. Never propose a cut that weakens backups (plan-backup-dr) or user experience.

This skill vs neighbors

Skill Owns
audit-infra-cost (this) Compute, storage, bandwidth, platform fees
audit-cicd GitHub Actions minutes / artifacts
plan-llm-cost-guardrails Model tokens / quota abuse
test-load Measured peak — right-size to this, not a guess
audit-bundle-size / audit-performance Client payload (feeds egress)

How to reason

  1. Observe — billed resource, pricing model, and (if exposed) the breakdown line
  2. Interpret — is this utilization, a leak (egress/storage/zombies), or a tier mismatch?
  3. Classify — safe quick win / medium / structural / do-not-cut (backup/UX)
  4. Severity — by $ magnitude × reliability risk, not by how easy the cut looks

Worked example

Observe: object-storage bill is 40% of spend; logs prefix has no lifecycle; backups retained 90 days (DR requirement). Interpret: unbounded logs are the leak; backup retention is not a cut. Classify: safe quick win (expire temp logs) + do-not-cut (backups). Severity: major $; reliability risk low if only temp logs expire. Finding: logs | ~X% | lifecycle 7d | do not touch backup prefix


Phase 0 — Map the spend surface [HIGH freedom]

Enumerate billed resources and, if the provider exposes it, the breakdown:

  • Compute (functions / servers / containers)
  • Database (compute + storage + connections)
  • Object storage (GB + operations)
  • Egress (usually the sneaky line)
  • CDN, per-seat / per-project fees
