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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    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 microck/ordinary-claude-skills at 1056d293d4.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to interact with and manage AWS Cost Explorer data. It can retrieve cost and usage information, filter by various dimensions (like service, region, or account), and provide insights into spending patterns. The agent can also perform actions like generating reports and identifying potential cost optimization opportunities.

When to use it

  • Cost Anomaly Detection: Investigate sudden spikes in AWS costs and identify the root cause.
  • Budget Tracking: Monitor current spending against defined budgets and receive alerts when thresholds are approached.
  • Resource Optimization: Identify underutilized or oversized resources contributing to unnecessary expenses.
  • Report Generation: Create custom reports summarizing AWS cost and usage data for stakeholders.

Key capabilities

  • Retrieval of cost and usage data from AWS Cost Explorer.
  • Filtering by dimensions (service, region, account, etc.).
  • Generation of cost and usage reports.
  • Identification of potential cost optimization opportunities.

Example prompts

  • "Show me the total AWS spend for last month."
  • "What were our costs for EC2 instances in us-east-1?"
  • "Generate a report comparing this month's spending to the previous month."
  • “Identify services that exceeded their budget.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires appropriate AWS credentials with Cost Explorer access.
  • The granularity of data available depends on your AWS Cost and Usage Reports configuration.
