| 1 | # Skill: AWS cost estimator |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Trigger |
| 4 | When the user asks for cost estimate, cost optimization, or "how much will this architecture cost." |
| 5 | |
| 6 | ## Steps |
| 7 | |
| 8 | 1. **Gather** — List resources (e.g. Lambda, RDS, S3, API Gateway) and expected usage (requests/month, GB, duration). |
| 9 | 2. **Estimate** — Use AWS Pricing Calculator assumptions or public pricing; state assumptions clearly. |
| 10 | 3. **Summarize** — Break down by service and total monthly/yearly; highlight high-cost items. |
| 11 | 4. **Suggest** — Offer 1–2 optimizations (reserved capacity, right-sizing, storage class) if relevant. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ## Rules |
| 14 | - Use placeholder regions and account references; never real account IDs. |
| 15 | - Clearly label estimates as approximate and state pricing date/region if known. |
