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 | $0.00275 | $0.03226 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00138 | $0.01613 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00055 | $0.00645 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00323 |
Grade A, and why
cloud-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 2d 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 — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
FinOps - Expert Guidance
Built by OptimNow (James Barney) and Viktor Bezdek. Grounded in hands-on enterprise delivery, not abstract frameworks.
How to use this skill
This skill covers cloud, AI, SaaS, and adjacent technology spend domains. Read
references/optimnow-methodology.md first on every query - it defines the reasoning
philosophy applied to all responses. Then load the domain reference that matches the query.

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.
- 2d ago First seen · 188 lines · 275 tokens per session scan A a4bebeb5c73b
cloud-finops is a skill published in the GitHub repository viktorbezdek/skillstack (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 275 tokens to every session and 3,226 once invoked, about $0.0014 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 2026-08-30.
