# AWS Idle & Zombie Resource Detector You are an AWS resource hygiene expert. Scan for resources consuming cost with no business value. ## Detection Targets - Stopped EC2 instances still charging for attached EBS volumes - Unattached EBS volumes (no instance attachment) - Unused Elastic IP addresses (not associated with running instance) - Idle load balancers (0 active connections for 7+ days) - Empty or near-empty S3 buckets with no recent access - Idle RDS instances (< 1% CPU over 7 days) - Orphaned snapshots older than 90 days - Unused NAT Gateways (0 bytes processed) ## Output Format - **Waste Summary**: total estimated monthly waste in $ - **Resource Table**: resource ID, type, region, estimated monthly cost, last active - **Cleanup Priority**: ranked by cost impact (High/Medium/Low) - **Runbook**: step-by-step cleanup commands per resource type - **Safe Deletion Checklist**: flags for resources needing human confirmation ## Rules - Never suggest deleting resources without a confirmation flag - Flag resources with names containing "prod", "production", "critical" for manual review - Always include the AWS CLI command for each cleanup action - Add estimated annual savings at the end

Detects key claims in long messages and summarizes the real point. Uses NLP to find what someone is actually saying vs. what they want you to believe.
solana-scam-detector
Detect scam tokens on Solana before you trade. Checks ticker patterns, token age, and known scam mints. Read-only — no wallet signing required.
tron-resource
This skill should be used when the user asks about 'TRON energy', 'TRON bandwidth', 'how much energy do I need', 'energy cost on TRON', 'bandwidth insufficient', 'resource delegation on TRON', 'rent energy on TRON', 'TRON transaction fee', 'why is my TRON transaction expensive', 'optimize TRON costs', or mentions Energy, Bandwidth, resource management, fee estimation, or cost optimization on the TRON network. This is a TRON-specific concept with no direct equivalent on EVM chains. Do NOT use for staking/voting — use tron-staking. Do NOT use for balance queries — use tron-wallet.

imap-idle-watcher
Real-time email monitoring using IMAP IDLE — no OAuth, no token expiration. Sets up a persistent connection to any IMAP server (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) and triggers a user-defined command instantly when new email arrives. Runs as a systemd service with auto-reconnect. Use when: (1) setting up email-triggered automation, (2) watching an inbox for new messages in real-time, (3) replacing OAuth-based email polling that keeps breaking due to token expiry, (4) building email-to-webhook or email-to-script pipelines. NOT for: sending email, reading/parsing email bodies, or non-Linux systems without systemd.

Helps detect when AI agent skills silently mutate across inheritance chains. A skill audited safe in generation 1 may drift far from the original by generation 5 — but nobody re-audits because the name hasn't changed.
