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 current on-demand usage patterns (12 months), growth forecast, and risk tolerance for commitment.

Step 2: Produce Output

Output a reservation strategy: recommended Savings Plan type and coverage %, EC2/RDS RI recommendations, break-even timeline, and monitoring plan.

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
