# Billing and Cost Management
## Overview
Analyze, optimize, and manage AWS costs. This skill encodes domain expertise from AWS's cost management products — gotchas, correct API usage patterns, and optimization workflows that models frequently get wrong.
## Usage
Use this skill when:
- Analyzing AWS spending, cost trends, or cost breakdowns
- Setting up or managing budget alerts
- Evaluating Savings Plans or Reserved Instance purchases
- Right-sizing EC2, Lambda, RDS, or EBS resources
