Live repository

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 acedergren/oci-agent-skills at 593f73464e.

    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 AI agents analyze and optimize cloud costs, specifically within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It can identify cost drivers, suggest resource right-sizing opportunities, and generate reports to improve overall financial efficiency. The tool aims to reduce unnecessary spending and maximize the value derived from OCI resources.

When to use it

  • High Cloud Spend: When monthly cloud bills are unexpectedly high or exceeding budget projections.
  • Resource Optimization: To identify underutilized or oversized compute instances, storage volumes, or other resources.
  • Cost Reporting: To generate reports detailing spending trends and areas for potential savings.
  • New Project Planning: To estimate the cost of a new project and proactively optimize resource allocation.

Key capabilities

  • OCI Cost Analysis
  • Resource Right-Sizing Recommendations
  • Cost Driver Identification
  • Reporting & Visualization

Example prompts

  • "Analyze my OCI spending for the last month and identify the top 3 cost drivers."
  • "Suggest ways to right-size my compute instances in the 'production' compartment."
  • "Generate a report showing resource utilization trends over the past quarter."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is specifically designed for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Ensure your AI agent has appropriate permissions and access to OCI data for accurate analysis and recommendations.
