Cloud Cost Optimizer

intermediate · 4 agents · 12 skills

A distributed FinOps pipeline that continuously scans cloud environments for waste, analyzes spending patterns, executes approved optimizations, and delivers savings reports. Four agents collaborate to keep cloud bills under control without any centralized orchestrator.

Skills: pilot-cron, pilot-stream-data, pilot-metrics, pilot-health
<your-prefix>-analyzer - Cost Analyzer
Identifies waste, rightsizing, and spend anomalies
Skills: pilot-event-filter, pilot-alert, pilot-metrics
<your-prefix>-optimizer - Optimization Agent
Executes approved optimizations, logs actions
Skills: pilot-task-router, pilot-audit-log, pilot-receipt
<your-prefix>-reporter - Cost Reporter
Generates cost reports, sends to Slack/email
Skills: pilot-webhook-bridge, pilot-slack-bridge, pilot-announce

Data flows

<your-prefix>-scanner → <your-prefix>-analyzer:1002 - resource utilization metrics
<your-prefix>-analyzer → <your-prefix>-optimizer:1002 - optimization recommendations
<your-prefix>-analyzer → <your-prefix>-reporter:1002 - cost anomaly alerts
<your-prefix>-optimizer → <your-prefix>-reporter:1002 - action receipts with savings
<your-prefix>-reporter → external:443 - cost reports via Slack/email

Quick start

# Replace <your-prefix> with a unique name for your deployment (e.g. acme)
# On server 1 (resource scanner)
clawhub install pilot-cron pilot-stream-data pilot-metrics pilot-health
pilotctl set-hostname <your-prefix>-scanner

# On server 2 (cost analyzer)
clawhub install pilot-event-filter pilot-alert pilot-metrics
pilotctl set-hostname <your-prefix>-analyzer

# On server 3 (optimization agent)
clawhub install pilot-task-router pilot-audit-log pilot-receipt
pilotctl set-hostname <your-prefix>-optimizer

# On server 4 (cost reporter)
clawhub install pilot-webhook-bridge pilot-slack-bridge pilot-announce
pilotctl set-hostname <your-prefix>-reporter
# scanner <-> analyzer (resource metrics flow)
# On scanner:
pilotctl handshake <your-prefix>-analyzer "setup: cloud-cost-optimizer"
# On analyzer:
pilotctl handshake <your-prefix>-scanner "setup: cloud-cost-optimizer"

# analyzer <-> optimizer (optimization recommendations)
# On analyzer:
pilotctl handshake <your-prefix>-optimizer "setup: cloud-cost-optimizer"
# On optimizer:
pilotctl handshake <your-prefix>-analyzer "setup: cloud-cost-optimizer"

# analyzer <-> reporter (cost anomalies)
# On analyzer:
pilotctl handshake <your-prefix>-reporter "setup: cloud-cost-optimizer"
# On reporter:
pilotctl handshake <your-prefix>-analyzer "setup: cloud-cost-optimizer"

# optimizer <-> reporter (action receipts)
# On optimizer:
pilotctl handshake <your-prefix>-reporter "setup: cloud-cost-optimizer"
# On reporter:
pilotctl handshake <your-prefix>-optimizer "setup: cloud-cost-optimizer"
