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 sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills at 5a4cdd9df8.

    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 analyzes operational costs and suggests data-driven adjustments to minimize expenses across AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud environments. It implements systematic cost optimization strategies while maintaining performance and reliability. The skill provides actionable steps and verification for reducing cloud spending, right-sizing resources, and implementing cost governance. Detailed implementation examples can be found in the resources/implementation-playbook.md file.

When to use it

  • To reduce overall cloud spending.
  • When you need to right-size existing cloud resources.
  • For implementing a framework of cost governance within your organization.
  • To optimize costs across multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • When needing to meet specific budget constraints.

Key capabilities

  • Cloud Cost Visibility: Implementing cost allocation tags, using cost management tools, setting up budget alerts, and creating cost dashboards.
  • Resource Right-Sizing: Analyzing resource utilization, downsizing over-provisioned resources, utilizing auto-scaling, and removing idle resources.
  • Pricing Model Optimization: Leveraging reserved capacity (e.g., AWS Reserved Instances, Azure Reserved VM Instances, GCP Committed Use Discounts), spot/preemptible instances, savings plans, and committed use discounts.
  • Architecture Optimization: Utilizing managed services, implementing caching, optimizing data transfer, and using lifecycle policies (example provided for S3).

Example prompts

  • "How can I reduce my AWS EC2 costs?"
  • "What are the best practices for Azure cost optimization?"
  • "Suggest ways to optimize storage costs in GCP."
  • “Can you help me implement a cost allocation tag strategy?”

Tips & gotchas

  • Clarify your goals, constraints, and required inputs before using this skill.
  • This skill is specifically focused on cloud cost optimization; it’s not suitable for tasks outside of that scope or requiring tools beyond the supported cloud platforms.
  • Refer to resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed implementation examples.
