# AzureFinOps Skill

Azure cost optimization through reservation analysis, waste discovery, and stakeholder reporting.

## Important

- All Azure operations are **READ-ONLY** — zero modifications to any resource
- Primary output language: **Portuguese (BR)** for stakeholder responses
- Python CLI fallback: `uv run python -m azure_finops` when MCP/CLI auth unavailable

## Context Files

- `AzureToolReference.md` — MCP tools + CLI commands quick reference
- `ReservationInventory.md` — SKU matching and reservation interpretation SOP
- `PricingComparison.md` — PAYG vs RI pricing methodology and savings formulas

## Workflow Routing

| Workflow | Trigger | File |
|----------|---------|------|
| ValidateCosts | "validate costs", "are these reservations or PAYG", "check billing" | `Workflows/ValidateCosts.md` |
| FindWaste | "find waste", "orphaned disks", "orphaned resources" | `Workflows/FindWaste.md` |
| CoverageAnalysis | "reservation coverage", "reservation gaps", "savings analysis" | `Workflows/CoverageAnalysis.md` |
| DraftResponse | "draft response for", "resposta para", "executive summary" | `Workflows/DraftResponse.md` |

## Examples

**Example 1 — Cost Validation:**
> "Are these January costs reservations or pay-as-you-go?"
> Routes to: `Workflows/ValidateCosts.md`

**Example 2 — Waste Discovery:**
> "Find orphaned disks and wasted resources across all subscriptions"
> Routes to: `Workflows/FindWaste.md`

**Example 3 — Executive Response:**
> "Draft a response for Jean about the January billing anomalies"
> Routes to: `Workflows/DraftResponse.md`
