Steps

Step 0: Confirm Context

Ask the user for any missing context needed to produce a useful output. If the request is clear, skip questions and proceed.

Step 1: Gather Context

Gather cloud provider, monthly spend, major cost drivers, and current reservation coverage.

Step 2: Produce Output

Output a cost audit: waste inventory (zombie resources, idle services), rightsizing opportunities with estimated savings, reservation coverage gaps, and quick-win prioritization.

Step 3: Summary

Output a brief summary:

• What was produced
• Key risks or tradeoffs
• Recommended next steps

Key Rules

• Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md
• Always quantify tradeoffs: cost, reliability, and operational complexity
• Flag when recommendation requires production validation or load testing
