What it does
The gcp-cost-optimizer skill allows AI agents to analyze and optimize Google Cloud Platform (GCP) spending. It can identify cost reduction opportunities, generate recommendations for resource adjustments, and provide insights into spending trends across various GCP services. This helps users proactively manage and minimize their cloud costs.
When to use it

- Resource Right-Sizing: After deploying new resources or experiencing performance changes, have the agent analyze if existing resource sizes are optimal.
- Cost Anomaly Detection: When unexpected spikes in GCP costs occur, use the skill to investigate the cause and identify corrective actions.
- Proactive Optimization: Regularly schedule the agent to scan for cost optimization opportunities across your entire GCP environment.
