Cloud FinOps — canonical upstream pointer

This registry entry intentionally does not vendor the Cloud FinOps guidance. The skill is maintained and refreshed by OptimNow, so a copied snapshot can become stale while still appearing under the author's name.

Use the canonical upstream distribution instead:

Claude Code

Run these commands at the Claude Code prompt:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/OptimNow/cloud-finops-skills.git
/plugin install cloud-finops@optimnow

Update an existing installation with:

/plugin update cloud-finops@optimnow

Other agent clients

Follow the current upstream instructions:

Repository: https://github.com/OptimNow/cloud-finops-skills
Installation guide: https://github.com/OptimNow/cloud-finops-skills/blob/main/INSTALLATION.md
Latest release archive: https://github.com/OptimNow/cloud-finops-skills/releases/latest

Hosted MCP

For clients that support remote MCP servers, OptimNow currently documents:

claude mcp add --transport http cloud-finops https://cloud-finops-skills-590a051d.alpic.live/mcp

Check the upstream installation guide before using the endpoint because hosted service URLs and client-specific setup can change.

Do not answer substantive FinOps questions from this pointer. Install or load the canonical skill first so the response uses OptimNow's maintained references and playbooks.
