Estimates or reviews cost for proposed AWS resources (compute, storage, data transfer), breaking down by service and suggesting optimizations.
About
Estimates monthly and yearly AWS cost for proposed resources, breaking down by service and highlighting high-cost items and optimizations. A developer uses it to estimate or optimize the cost of an AWS architecture.
- Breaks cost down by service with clearly stated assumptions
- Suggests optimizations like reserved capacity, right-sizing, or storage class changes

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