A comprehensive Azure cost management tool that handles three core workflows: querying historical spending, forecasting future costs, and finding optimization opportunities. It queries the Cost Management API directly for actual data, runs Azure Quick Review scans to find orphaned resources, and generates specific recommendations like VM rightsizing and Redis tier adjustments. The skill emphasizes showing your actual bill alongside any optimization suggestions, which is refreshingly honest. It includes proper rate limiting for the notoriously restrictive Cost Management API and validates pricing from official sources rather than guessing. Good for monthly cost reviews or when leadership asks where the cloud budget is going.
