DE//AGENT currently lists 7 resources under finops: 3 tutorials, 1 skill, 1 plugin. Everything below is derived from the live registry — counts, capabilities, verification state and security posture come from the curated records, never from marketing copy.

Also present: 1 agent, 1 pattern.

Documented learning objectives across these resources:

• Attribute compute cost to a pipeline run — via Compute unit economics for a pipeline
• Define a unit metric that resists regressions — via Compute unit economics for a pipeline
• Set an alert on cost-per-run, not on total spend — via Compute unit economics for a pipeline
• Define a unit metric per pipeline — via Install cost guardrails before the invoice
• Baseline the last N runs and fail CI past a threshold — via Install cost guardrails before the invoice
• Add hard caps on top of CI guards — via Install cost guardrails before the invoice
• Attribute warehouse/cluster spend with /cost-by-pipeline — via Attribute spend with the Cost Lens plugin
• Compute unit economics with /unit-cost — via Attribute spend with the Cost Lens plugin

1 more objectives live on the individual resource pages.

These resources map to stage: Reliability (7). Follow the four-phase roadmap to place this topic inside a progression instead of learning it in isolation.

Every entry, its shape and its trust state — sorted by the registry's composite score. This table is the honest version of a marketing comparison: no sponsored placements, no unverifiable claims.

How scores are computed: source quality score.

Highest composite score first:

1. Compute unit economics for a pipeline score 34.15 — beginner
2. Install cost guardrails before the invoice score 34.15 — beginner
3. Attribute spend with the Cost Lens plugin score 34.15 — intermediate

Scores rank provenance, completeness and trust — read how verification works before adopting anything.

Start here if you're new: Compute unit economics for a pipeline, Install cost guardrails before the invoice.

Reach for these with production experience: Cost Lens, Cost Optimizer.

Security-flagged entries: Cost Unit-Economics Reporter (4 flags), Cost Guardrails (3 flags), Cost Lens (5 flags), Cost Optimizer (5 flags). Flags mean the record declares capabilities like credential use or write access — read the security posture on each page before connecting.

Known limits: Negligible fixed-cost workloads (Cost Guardrails)
