finops

A cost baseline from invoices and billing exports, showback, unit costs, a SaaS stack audit, and a FOCUS export, with a gate check that every cost figure carries a period and a source.

• Version 0.1.0
• 5 skills
• 1 gate check
• Running on this site: FinOps space

What it does

Cost data for a repository: what the systems and tools cost each month, how the cost splits across teams, and the cost per unit of work. Bills from every provider are converted to FOCUS (FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification) columns first, so one script can build the baseline, the showback and the unit costs from them. Every figure on a page names its period and its source. A gate check reports figures that do not.

The skills report and propose. They change no billing setting, plan, seat count or contract. To charge teams for their cost, the user makes an agreement with the teams and finance.

Skills

• /finops:cost-baseline

  Build a monthly cost baseline per provider and service from invoices or billing exports (CSV, FOCUS, cloud cost exports), with the period and source of every figure, flags for missing months, one-off charges, spikes and currency changes, written to a docs page.

• /finops:focus-export

  Convert billing data (provider CSV exports, invoice lines, expense exports) to FOCUS, the FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification, with a column map per format, a validation pass, a reconciliation against the source totals and a list of declared deviations.

• /finops:saas-stack-audit

  List every SaaS tool the organisation pays for, from invoices, the SSO app list or expense exports, with owner, seats paid and used, overlaps, and a keep, cut or replace proposal per tool, where replace options include open source and agent-built tools with switching cost and risk; the user acts on every proposal.

• /finops:showback

  Allocate one month of cost per team or service from tags and an allocation file, with shared costs split by a stated rule and unallocated cost as its own line, as a report on a docs page that charges no team.

• /finops:unit-costs

  Compute cost per unit of work per month (per request, customer, deploy or another unit the team picks), with the cost from the cost baseline, the count from a named metric with its source, and the trend, written to a docs page.
