BF capacity-and-cost-engineering
Model technical capacity, unit cost, and budget constraints connected to demand, performance, and reliability decisions. Use when projecting capacity from growth forecasts, sizing for peak events, designing cost-aware scaling policies, defining budget thresholds or quota/rate-limit enforcement, running or planning load/soak tests as capacity evidence, resolving SLO-cost tradeoffs, or modeling multi-tenant demand distributions, hot-tenant skew, pooled or siloed headroom, fairness evidence, and tenant-variable unit cost. Do NOT use for financial P&L statements, fundraising scenarios, or SaaS metrics (route to financial-modeling); for infrastructure implementation or cloud-resource provisioning (route to platform-engineering); or for generic cloud-cost tips and universal utilization targets — this skill does not prescribe fixed savings rates or one-size-fits-all thresholds.

How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
