About this skill
What it does. Analyses GKE costs with BigQuery billing exports, cost-allocation labels and read-only gcloud and kubectl checks. It provides bq query templates and explains Autopilot versus Standard pricing, budgets, credits, requests and actual utilisation.
When to use it. Use it for historical cost breakdowns, cost spikes and workload or namespace drivers. It does not apply rightsizing or other optimisation changes; use the separate cost-optimisation skill for those.
