# 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
**Do NOT activate when the user:**
- Asks general cost optimization best practices → use `eks-best-practices` (static advisory)
- Asks "how should I design my cluster for cost efficiency?" → use `eks-best-practices`
- Requests an operational review or health check → use `eks-operation-review`
- Wants cluster discovery or reconnaissance → use `eks-recon`
- Asks about upgrade readiness → use `eks-upgrade-check`
- Asks to set up the EKS MCP server → use `eks-mcp-server`
