Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned claudedjale/skillset at 154f146735.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

  • You want to proactively identify opportunities to optimize your existing Azure resources for better cost efficiency.
  • Before provisioning new Azure resources, you’d like an estimate of potential costs and ways to minimize them.
  • You're looking for automated recommendations on how to reduce waste in your current Azure infrastructure.

Key capabilities

  • Cost analysis and reporting
  • Resource right-sizing suggestions
  • Identification of cost inefficiencies
  • Azure spending optimization recommendations

Example prompts

  • "Analyze my Azure costs for the last month and identify any areas of high expenditure."
  • "What are some ways I can reduce the cost of running my Azure virtual machines?"
  • "Can you provide a report on unused or underutilized Azure resources?"
