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 kentoshimizu/sw-agent-skills at 5b7bafb626.

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

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill helps optimize cloud spending by analyzing resource utilization and identifying potential cost savings. It can provide recommendations for rightsizing instances, deleting unused resources, and leveraging reserved instances or spot instances. The goal is to reduce unnecessary expenses while maintaining performance and availability.

When to use it

  • You've noticed your cloud bill has been unexpectedly high.
  • You want to proactively identify opportunities to lower ongoing cloud costs.
  • You are launching a new application and need to estimate the optimal resource configuration for cost-effectiveness.
  • You’re regularly reviewing infrastructure spend and seeking ways to improve efficiency.

Key capabilities

  • Resource Utilization Analysis
  • Rightsizing Recommendations
  • Unused Resource Detection
  • Reserved Instance/Spot Instance Suggestions

Example prompts

  • "Analyze my AWS EC2 instances for cost optimization opportunities."
  • "Find unused resources in my Azure subscription."
  • "Suggest ways to reduce the cost of running my Kubernetes cluster on Google Cloud."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires access to your cloud provider's account and permissions to view resource utilization data. The accuracy of recommendations depends on the quality and completeness of the data available.
