Optimizes Atlassian Forge apps to reduce platform consumption and avoid unnecessary costs using Atlassian's "Optimise Forge platform costs" guidance. Use when the user asks to optimize Forge app costs, reduce Forge invocations, lower GB-seconds, reduce storage or log usage, tune memory, replace polling, improve scheduled triggers, reduce KVS writes, move work to the frontend, use bridge APIs, batch API calls, add caching, or evaluate Forge Remote trade-offs. By default, perform an audit first and offer to make the recommended changes after presenting the audit. Only modify files immediately when the user explicitly asks the agent to implement or apply optimizations.

Optimize Forge apps for lower platform consumption while preserving correctness, security, and maintainability. This skill turns Atlassian's Forge cost optimization guidance into an actionable agent workflow.

What this skill does

Forge Cost Optimizer is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the performance sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/forge-cost-optimizer/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user asks to optimize Forge app costs, reduce Forge invocations, lower GB-seconds, reduce storage or log usage, tune memory, replace polling, improve scheduled triggers, reduce KVS writes, move work to the frontend, use bridge APIs, batch API calls, add caching, or evaluate Forge Remote trade-offs. By default, perform an audit first and offer to make the recommended changes after presenting the audit.
