It allows engineering teams to answer not just "Is the system healthy?" but "Is the system cost-effective?" **Core Principle**: "Total spend is a vanity metric; cost per unit of work is a performance metric." ## Why This Matters - **Cost Visibility**: Understand where money is being spent - **Attribution**: Assign costs to teams and projects - **Anomaly Detection**: Identify unusual spending patterns - **Optimization**: Identify areas for cost reduction --- ## Core Concepts & Rules ### 1. Core Principles - Follow established patterns and conventions - Maintain consistency across codebase - Document decisions and trade-offs ### 2. Implementation Guidelines - Start with the simplest viable solution - Iterate based on feedback and requirements - Test thoroughly before deployment ## Inputs / Outputs / Contracts * **Inputs**: - Cloud billing data - Reso

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill cost-observability-amnadtaowsoam-cerebraskills --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
