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.

## From README

Forge Cost Optimizer 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. Source Guidance Base recommendations on Atlassian's official guide: If live Forge documentation tools are available, search the Forge docs for the exact module or API before changing code that depends on current manifest syntax, bridge APIs, storage APIs, trigger filters, or Forge Remote behavior. Core Principle Prioritize changes that reduce unnecessary work: Avoid invocations entirely — move safe work to UI Kit / Custom UI frontend, use context from the bridge, replace polling with events, add trigger filters. Do less work per invocation — bulk API calls, field selection, source-side filtering, pagination, early exits, bounded concurrency.
