Analyze Azure Advisor Cost/IdleResources findings and prevalidate deletion safety, including Service Groups. WHEN: "find unused Azure resources", "what resources am I paying for but no longer using", "idle-resource savings", "historical idle-resource savings", "are these idle resources safe to delete". Generic Cost, other subcategories, and cross-category requests use azure-advisor.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'azure-advisor-cost-optimization' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'azure-advisor-cost-optimization' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named azure-advisor-cost-optimization already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/microsoft/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9287b443662d2433c85621c7325ee72a0ce499b5' -- '.github/plugins/azure-advisor/skills/azure-advisor-cost-optimization' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.github/plugins/azure-advisor/skills/azure-advisor-cost-optimization' ~/.agents/skills/'azure-advisor-cost-optimization' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'azure-advisor-cost-optimization' ~/.claude/skills/'azure-advisor-cost-optimization' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
