Azure Cost Optimization
This is a comprehensive Azure cost management tool that actually queries your real spending data instead of making you guess. It pulls historical costs, forecasts future spending, and identifies optimization opportunities like orphaned resources and oversized VMs. The skill handles the tedious parts well, constructing proper Cost Management API calls with correct scopes and rate limiting, while generating actionable reports with potential savings calculations. What I like is that it always shows your actual bill alongside recommendations, so you're not optimizing in the dark. It's thorough enough for serious cost analysis but practical enough for quick spending checks.
