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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • 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.

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 costs by analyzing resource usage and identifying potential savings. It can suggest rightsizing instances, deleting unused resources, and optimizing storage tiers. The goal is to reduce unnecessary spending while maintaining performance.

When to use it

  • You've noticed your cloud bill has increased unexpectedly.
  • You want to proactively identify opportunities to save money on your cloud infrastructure.
  • You are regularly reviewing resource utilization across different accounts or projects.
  • You need assistance in understanding complex cost optimization strategies for specific services.

Key capabilities

  • Resource Usage Analysis
  • Rightsizing Recommendations
  • Unused Resource Identification
  • Storage Tier Optimization Suggestions

Example prompts

  • "Analyze my AWS EC2 instance usage and suggest rightsizing options."
  • "Identify any unused S3 buckets in my account."
  • "What are some ways to optimize storage costs for my Azure Blob Storage?"
  • "Give me a cost optimization plan for my Google Cloud project."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's recommendations should be reviewed carefully, as they may impact application performance. Always test changes in a non-production environment before implementing them widely.
