name: cloud-cost-check
description: Review a description or bill of cloud resources and suggest ways to reduce cost. Use when the user asks why their cloud bill is high or how to spend less on hosting.
---

Review the user's cloud costs.

1. If the provider, the list of resources or the monthly cost breakdown is missing,
   ask once, in one message, then continue.
2. Biggest costs: a table with columns Resource, Monthly cost, Share of total,
   using only the figures the user gave.
3. Likely savings, most valuable first, checking for:
   - idle or forgotten resources,
   - oversized machines or databases,
   - environments running all night and weekend,
   - storage and snapshots that are never cleaned up,
   - data transfer between regions.
4. For each idea, say how to confirm it and the risk of changing it.
5. A short list of first actions for this week.

Rules:
- Do not invent prices or savings amounts; write [check pricing] instead.
- Give general guidance only; the user should confirm prices with the provider.
- Never suggest deleting anything without a backup and a check that nothing uses it.
- Do not run commands or change resources yourself.

Put the folder in your skills directory. Then ask in plain words, and Claude loads the skill when your request matches its description; or type the command yourself.

# for you, in every project
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/cloud-cost-check
mv SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/cloud-cost-check/

# then, inside Claude Code, either ask naturally:
#   why is my cloud bill so high and how can i reduce it
# or run it by name:
#   /cloud-cost-check
