This is a proper Azure pricing estimator that queries Microsoft's live Retail Prices API instead of guessing. It walks through a two-phase workflow: first it parses your architecture and asks clarifying questions about sizing and usage patterns, then it pulls real pricing data via bash or PowerShell scripts. The skill includes reference files for specific Azure services and handles the messy details like reserved instances, regional pricing differences, and dependency chains (AKS needs VMs which need disks). It even forces arithmetic verification for multi-digit calculations to catch errors. If you're tired of ballparking Azure costs or wrestling with the official calculator's UI, this gives you deterministic estimates from the command line.
