A suite of local-first tools (CLI + browser extension) that leverages existing kubectl context to perform cost analysis and YAML policy validation entirely client-side. The tool calculates waste by comparing live resource usage vs. limits using real-time cloud pricing data, and validates Kubernetes manifests against custom Kyverno/OPA policies pre-commit. All processing happens locally with optional encrypted team sync for collaboration.

Economic pressure to reduce cloud costs is at an all-time high while security review processes have become more stringent post-breach. The shift-left movement demands earlier validation, and Kubernetes adoption has reached mainstream scale where these problems affect millions of teams daily.
