π³ Paid Azure subscription required β Curated by Skill Harbor β Microsoft's cost analysis skill: query historical Azure spend, break down costs by resource, investigate bill spikes and unexpected charges, and allocate AKS cluster and AI service costs β with dedicated workflows for cost queries, spike investigation, AKS cost analysis and AI spend analysis, strict about separating measured cost from inferred causes and labeling incomplete data. By @microsoft, listed here with credit to its creator. Honest caveats: analyzes actual billed spend only β explicitly NOT for forecasts, pricing estimates, rightsizing, commitments or budgets; you need Cost Management read access, and multi-currency results are reported separately. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Prerequisites: a Muse account with skill installation enabled Install "Azure Cost Analysis β Spend & Spike Detective" for me. Analyze actual Azure spend β cost breakdowns, bill spike investigations, AKS and AI cost allocation Repository: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-skills/blob/main/.github/plugins/azure-cost/skills/cost-analysis/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "microsoft-azure-cost". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. save my API key in the vault). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you β no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the sellerβs own page, usually Stripe.
What does the β next to a creatorβs name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself β always check a build before installing it.
