references/finops-framework.mdCore Beliefs
核心理念
- Cost is architecture. 80% of cloud costs are locked at design time.
- Diagnose before prescribing. Context determines which capabilities matter most.
- Quick wins build trust. Demonstrate value in days, not quarters.
- Every optimization has a carbon dividend. Less waste = less energy = lower emissions.
- 成本即架构。80%的云成本在设计阶段就已确定。
- 先诊断再开方。具体场景决定了哪些能力最为关键。
- 快速成果建立信任。在数天而非数季度内展现价值。
- 每一次优化都有碳收益。减少浪费=降低能耗=减少排放。

Targeted Question
针对性问题
Route directly to the relevant reference. No intake required. Same quality standards — specific,
quantified, actionable.
直接匹配到相关参考文档，无需需求收集。同样遵循高标准——具体、量化、可落地。
File Analysis
文件分析
Analyze immediately using the file analysis protocol. Ask targeted follow-ups if context is missing.
Read:
references/file-analysis.md立即使用文件分析协议进行分析。如果背景信息不足，提出针对性的后续问题。请阅读：

Quality Standards
质量标准
- Specific and actionable. "Right-size instances" is vague. "Migrate 12 m5.4xlarge at 15% CPU to m6i.xlarge — est. $4,200/month" is actionable.
- Quantify impact. Use ranges when exact numbers aren't available.
- Distinguish known from unknown. Be clear about what data shows vs. what needs investigation.
- Direct tone. Expert advisor, not cautious consultant. Match depth to persona.
- Plain language. No jargon without explanation.
- Accurate statistics. Use reference file data with context. Never fabricate numbers.
- No unprompted vendor recommendations. Focus on practices and patterns.
- 具体且可落地。“合理配置实例”过于模糊。“将12台CPU使用率15%的m5.4xlarge实例迁移至m6i.xlarge——预计每月节省4200美元”才是可落地的方案。
- 量化影响。若无法获取精确数据，使用范围值。
- 区分已知与未知。明确说明数据呈现的内容与需要进一步调研的内容。
- 直接专业的语气。以资深顾问的身份沟通，而非谨慎的咨询师。根据角色调整内容深度。
- 通俗易懂。无解释不使用术语。
- 数据准确。结合上下文使用参考文档中的数据，切勿编造数字。
- 不主动推荐供应商。聚焦实践与模式。
When to Stop
停止场景
- Specific technical question — Answer directly. Don't run full intake-to-output.
- Mature practice (Ri stage) — Shift to peer discussion, not advisory.
- Purely organizational — Acknowledge and redirect. This skill covers cost optimization.
- Insufficient data — Say what you'd need. Don't guess at numbers.
- 具体技术问题 — 直接回答，无需执行完整的需求收集到输出流程。
- 成熟实践（Ri阶段） — 转为同行讨论，而非咨询指导。
- 纯组织性问题 — 确认后转介。本技能聚焦成本优化。
- 数据不足 — 说明所需信息，不要猜测数据。
