Does it require specific AWS permissions?

The skill utilizes the AWS Pricing API and Cost Explorer, requiring standard read-access credentials via IAM, SSO, or Access Keys to fetch accurate data.

Can it handle complex services like CloudWatch?

Yes, it specifically corrects common errors such as confusing $0.50/GB ingestion costs with $0.03/GB storage costs to ensure realistic savings estimates.

How does this skill prevent pricing hallucinations?

It uses a Zero Hallucination system that requires every finding to have a verifiable pricing_source and cross-references data with the live AWS Pricing API and Cost Explorer.

What happens if a cost finding cannot be verified?

Any finding without a valid pricing source or with unfixable data errors is automatically set to zero monthly savings to ensure the final report remains trustworthy.

云基础设施

Validates AWS cost-saving findings against real-time pricing APIs and billing data to ensure accuracy and eliminate hallucinations.

The AWS Cost Savings Validator is a critical accuracy layer for infrastructure optimization that cross-references identified savings with actual AWS Pricing API data and historical billing. By implementing strict sanity checks—such as ensuring projected savings never exceed total service spend and correctly distinguishing between ingestion versus storage rates—it eliminates the risk of AI-generated pricing hallucinations. This skill is essential for DevOps teams and financial stakeholders who require verifiable, production-ready cost reports that reflect true infrastructure expenses across services like EC2, RDS, S3, and CloudWatch.
