Is cost-optimization safe?
Grade A, 100/100. No meaningful risk found.
Optimize existing Azure resources and analyze Reservations or Savings Plans. WHEN: "optimize Azure costs", "reduce cloud spending", "rightsize resources", "find idle resources", "orphaned disk", "deleted VM still charged", "public IP still charging", "reservation utilization", "Savings Plan coverage", "commitment recommendation", "why is pay-as-you-go still charged". DO NOT USE FOR: cost spikes, forecasts, pricing estimates, budgets, or governance.

Questions about cost-optimization
- Is cost-optimization safe to install?
- Our scanner gave cost-optimization grade A (100/100): no meaningful risk found. None of the 30 security rules matched. Static analysis cannot prove safety, so pin the reviewed revision with a lockfile.
- How do I install cost-optimization in Claude Code or Codex?
- Run skillhash add github:microsoft/azure-skills/.github/plugins/azure-cost/skills/cost-optimization. It downloads the exact commit, checks the grade against your policy, writes skills.lock and installs it into .claude/skills and .agents/skills.
- What happens if cost-optimization changes upstream?
- Its content hash changes. skillhash verify fails in CI until you review the new version and update the lock. With a watch, you also get an alert.

aks-gpu-inference
1.6kmicrosoft/azure-skills
Diagnose Day-2 AKS GPU and KAITO incidents using profile-aware, read-only evidence. WHEN: 'Insufficient nvidia.com/gpu', GPU pod Pending, model-load OOM, DCGM/VRAM, KAITO Workspace not ready, or GPU autoscaling. DO NOT USE FOR: setup (airunway-aks-setup), non-GPU incidents (aks-troubleshooting), standalone VM quota (azure-quotas), or generic cost (cost-analysis or cost-optimization from the optional azure-cost plugin).

aks-known-issues
1.6kmicrosoft/azure-skills
Lookup documented AKS fixes only when the prompt includes an exact catalog signature and all of its qualifiers: VMCannotFitEphemeralOSDisk; NodePoolMcVersionIncompatible; 'NodeImageVersion is not accepted'; AKS SkuNotAvailable with size, location, and zone; ZonalAllocationFailed with insufficient zone capacity; OverconstrainedAllocationRequest with listed constraints; nested AKS vmssCSE/CSE VMExtensionError_OutboundConnFail, VMExtensionError_K8SAPIServerConnFail, or VMExtensionError_K8SAPIServerDNSLookupFail; or AllocationFailed with the full cataloged internal-error or insufficient-regional-capacity message. Never use for quota errors, code-only or bare wrappers, generic symptoms, incomplete signatures, or failures outside AKS; use aks-troubleshooting or azure-diagnostics.

aks-network-capture
1.6kmicrosoft/azure-skills
Collects bounded packet captures from AKS nodes and Azure network configuration for wire-level evidence. WHEN: "capture packets on an AKS node", "take a pcap", "run tcpdump on AKS", "prove where packets drop". Use for explicit packet-capture intent after read-only diagnostics, not general AKS connectivity or ingress troubleshooting.

aks-troubleshooting
1.6kmicrosoft/azure-skills
Debug live Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) incidents with a read-only, evidence-first investigation. WHEN: pod crashes or Pending, CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, ImagePullBackOff, node NotReady, DNS or ingress failure, connectivity timeout, network policy, SNAT exhaustion, node-pool scaling blocked by QuotaExceeded or InsufficientVCPUQuota, upgrade stuck, spot or zone disruption, a bare VMExtensionProvisioningError or AllocationFailed wrapper, an uncataloged capacity symptom, or 'investigate my AKS cluster'. DO NOT USE FOR: packet capture (use aks-network-capture); GPU or model-serving issues (use aks-gpu-inference); cluster creation or provisioning (use azure-kubernetes); cost (use cost-analysis from the optional azure-cost plugin); pod rightsizing (use azure-kubernetes); a fully qualified documented AKS signature with every required nested qualifier (use aks-known-issues); standalone failures on non-AKS Azure resources (use azure-diagnostics). Unqualified errors and open-ended incidents stay here only for AKS.
