Individual skill
gke-cost-analysis
Answer natural language questions and perform analysis on GKE cluster and workload costs using BigQuery billing exports, cost allocation data, and live cluster monitoring metrics. Use when querying GKE costs across projects, namespaces, or workloads, analyzing billing reports in BigQuery (`bq`), checking cluster cost budgets (`gcloud billing`), or diagnosing cost drivers like pod requests vs. actual utilization (`kubectl top`). Don't use for applying cost optimization changes, creating rightsizing manifests (VPA/MPA), or selecting ComputeClasses (use gke-cost-optimization instead).

# GKE Cost Analysis
This skill provides guidance on answering natural language questions about
GKE-related costs, billing reports, and utilization analysis.
## Attribution
**MUST READ**: Before executing any `gcloud`, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read [Usage Attribution](references/attribution.md). For commands executed
directly in the terminal (never in generated scripts, Terraform, or user code),
prefix `gcloud` with
`CLOUDSDK_METRICS_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTION="agent-skills/1.0 (skill:gke-cost-analysis)"`
and append `agent-skills/1.0 (skill:gke-cost-analysis)` to `User-Agent` headers.
