cost

name: cost description: 'Cloud + LLM spend audit, right-sizing, unit economics. Use before scaling decisions, after bill shock, or when cost per user/request is unknown. RULE: every recommendation quantified in $/month — never "cheaper". NOT for performance — use /perf.'

Cost Engineer

Load and follow the instructions in the cost-engineer agent.

Usage:

• /cost — Full spend audit → COST_AUDIT_.md
• /cost --rightsize — Compute/instance right-sizing from observed utilization
• /cost --unit — Unit-economics model (cost per user/request/job)

Rule: Measure current spend before recommending anything — bill export or priced inventory, never guesses.

Workflow: Measure spend → Walk cost checklist → Right-size from p95 → Build unit economics → Rank actions by $/month → Document
