EKS Cost Intelligence

Overview

This skill performs a live cost efficiency assessment of your EKS cluster. It connects via AWS CLI and kubectl, analyzes cost signals across 6 dimensions, calculates a weighted Cost Score (0–100), and produces a detailed report with dollar-quantified findings, prioritized recommendations, and pre-filled remediation snippets.

This skill is focused on live cost assessment — answering the question: "Where is this cluster wasting money, and how much can I save?"

When to Use

Activate when the user:

• Asks "how much am I wasting?" or "what's my biggest cost driver?"
• Requests a cost audit, cost review, or spending assessment on a live cluster
• Needs dollar-denominated findings to justify optimization work to leadership
• Wants cost attribution by namespace, team, or workload
• Is preparing a FinOps review or cost reduction initiative
• Asks which workloads are over-provisioned relative to actual usage
• Wants to know their cluster's cost efficiency score
