# Cloud Cost Estimator Skill Estimates cloud costs for migration targets, provides resource sizing recommendations, and suggests cost optimization strategies. ## Purpose Enable cloud cost planning for: - Resource sizing recommendations - Cost projection - Reserved instance optimization - Spot instance eligibility - Cost comparison ## Capabilities ### 1. Resource Sizing Recommendations - Right-size compute instances - Optimize storage allocation - Plan memory requirements - Size database instances ### 2. Cost Projection - Monthly cost estimates - Annual projections - Growth modeling - Budget forecasting ### 3. Reserved Instance Optimization - Identify RI candidates - Calculate savings - Plan commitment levels - Optimize coverage ### 4. Spot Instance Eligibility - Assess workload suitability - Estimate availability - Calculate savings - Plan fallback strategy ### 5. Cost Comparison (On-Prem vs Cloud) - Calculate current costs - Project cloud costs - Analyze TCO - Document savings ### 6. FinOps Recommendations - Identify waste - Suggest optimizations - Plan tagging strategy - Implement showback ## Tool Integrations | Tool | Cloud | Integration Method | |------|-------|----------------

Estimate cloud costs for migration targets with resource sizing and optimization recommendations
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill cloud-cost-estimator --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
