+### 11. `sync-ctl optimize [PATH]`
+
+Analyze Kubernetes manifests and/or live clusters for resource optimization opportunities, cost estimation, and automated fixes.
+
+**Arguments:**
+- `[PATH]` — Path to K8s manifests, Helm chart, or Kustomize directory (default: `.`)
+
+**Core Options:**
+
+| Flag | Short | Description |
+|------|-------|-------------|
+| `--cluster <CONTEXT>` | `-k` | Connect to live cluster (uses current kubeconfig context if no value) |
+| `--prometheus <URL>` | | Prometheus URL for historical metrics |
+| `--namespace <NS>` | `-n` | Target namespace(s) (comma-separated, or `*` for all) |
+| `--period <DURATION>` | `-p` | Analysis period for metrics (default: `7d`) |
+| `--full` | `-f` | Comprehensive analysis (includes kubelint security + helmlint) |
+
+**Filtering Options:**
+
+| Flag | Short | Description |
+|------|-------|-------------|
+| `--severity <LEVEL>` | `-s` | Minimum severity (`critical`, `warning`, `info`) |

+
+**Examples:**
+
+```bash
+# Static analysis (no cluster access)
+sync-ctl optimize .
+sync-ctl optimize ./k8s/
+sync-ctl optimize ./charts/my-app/
+
+# Live cluster analysis

+## Handling Large Tool Outputs (Compressed Results)
+
+When tools like `kubelint`, `k8s_optimize`, `analyze_project`, `security_scan`, or `check_vulnerabilities` return large results, they are **automatically compressed** to fit context limits. The compressed output includes:
+- A summary with counts by severity/category
+- Full details for CRITICAL and HIGH priority issues
+- Deduplicated patterns for medium/low issues
+- A `full_data_ref` field (e.g., `"kubelint_abc123"`)
+
+**To get full details**, use the `retrieve_output` tool:
+```
+retrieve_output(ref_id: "kubelint_abc123")                    // Get all data
+retrieve_output(ref_id: "kubelint_abc123", query: "severity:critical")  // Filter by severity
+retrieve_output(ref_id: "kubelint_abc123", query: "file:deployment.yaml")  // Filter by file
+retrieve_output(ref_id: "kubelint_abc123", query: "code:DL3008")  // Filter by rule code
+```
+
+**When to use retrieve_output:**
+- You see `full_data_ref` in a tool response
+- You need details about specific issues beyond what's in the summary
+- User asks about a specific file, container, or rule code
+
+**You can also use `list_stored_outputs`** to see all available stored outputs from the session.

+//! K8s Optimize tool - Native Kubernetes resource optimization using Rig's Tool trait
+//!
+//! Analyzes Kubernetes manifests for over-provisioned or under-provisioned
+//! resources and suggests right-sized values.
+//!
+//! Output is optimized for AI agent decision-making with:
+//! - Categorized issues (over-provisioned, under-provisioned, missing resources)
+//! - Priority rankings (critical, high, medium, low)
+//! - Actionable fix recommendations with YAML snippets
+//! - Cost savings estimates (when available)
+//! - Live cluster analysis (optional, via Prometheus)
+//!
+//! # Prometheus Integration
+//!
+//! For data-driven recommendations based on actual usage:
+//! 1. Use `prometheus_discover` to find Prometheus in cluster
+//! 2. Use `prometheus_connect` to establish connection (port-forward or URL)
+//! 3. Use `k8s_optimize` with the prometheus URL from step 2

+**IMPORTANT: Only use when user EXPLICITLY asks about:**
+- "optimize my K8s resources" / "right-size my pods"
+- "full analysis" / "comprehensive check" (use full=true)
+- Over-provisioned or under-provisioned resources
+- Cost optimization for Kubernetes
+
+**DO NOT use for:**
+- General K8s linting without optimization focus (use kubelint)
+- Tasks where user didn't ask about optimization
+
+## For Live Cluster Analysis with Historical Metrics
+
+**RECOMMENDED FLOW when user wants data-driven optimization:**
+1. First use `prometheus_discover` to find Prometheus in cluster
+2. Use `prometheus_connect` to establish connection (starts port-forward)
+3. Call `k8s_optimize` with the prometheus URL from step 2
+
+Port-forward is preferred (no auth needed). Auth is only needed for external Prometheus URLs.
+
+## Modes
+- **Standard**: Resource optimization analysis only
+- **Full** (full=true): Comprehensive analysis including:
+  - Resource optimization (CPU/memory waste)
+  - Security checks (kubelint - privileged, RBAC, etc.)
+  - Helm validation (if charts present)
+- **Live**: With prometheus URL for historical metrics (data-driven recommendations)
+
+## Returns (analysis only - does NOT apply changes)
+- Summary with issue counts and waste percentage
+- Recommendations with suggested values (based on actual usage if Prometheus provided)
+- Security findings (if full=true)
+- Does NOT automatically modify files"#

+//! Prometheus Connect Tool
+//!
+//! Establishes a connection to Prometheus via port-forward (preferred) or direct URL.
+//! Used after prometheus_discover to set up the connection for k8s_optimize.
+//!
+//! # Connection Methods
+//!
+//! 1. **Port-forward (preferred)** - No authentication needed
+//!    - Connects directly to the pod, bypassing ingress/auth
+//!    - Works with any in-cluster Prometheus
+//!
+//! 2. **Direct URL** - May require authentication
+//!    - For externally exposed Prometheus
+//!    - Supports Basic auth and Bearer token

+**Use after prometheus_discover or when user provides a URL.**
+
+**Connection Methods (in order of preference):**
+
+1. **Port-forward** (recommended) - NO authentication needed
+   - Provide: service, namespace, port
+   - Starts kubectl port-forward in background
+   - Direct pod connection bypasses auth
+
+2. **External URL** - May require authentication
+   - Provide: url
+   - Optional: auth_type, username/password or token
+
+**Examples:**
+
+Port-forward (no auth):
+```json
+{"service": "prometheus-server", "namespace": "monitoring", "port": 9090}
+```
+
+External URL without auth:
+```json
+{"url": "http://prometheus.example.com"}
+```
+
+External URL with basic auth:
+```json
+{"url": "https://prometheus.example.com", "auth_type": "basic", "username": "admin", "password": "secret"}
+```
+
+**Returns:**
+- Connection URL for use with k8s_optimize
+- Connection mode (port-forward or direct)
+- Local port (if port-forward)"#

+- Need to find Prometheus for data-driven recommendations
+
+**What it does:**
+- Searches for services with "prometheus" in the name or labels
+- Returns discovered services with namespace, port, and type
+- Suggests using prometheus_connect to establish connection

+**Returns:**
+- List of discovered Prometheus services
+- Connection suggestions

+
+Use this tool when:
+- You received a compressed summary with a 'full_data_ref' field
+- You need full details about specific issues mentioned in a summary
+- You want to filter issues by severity, file, code, or container
+
+The ref_id comes from the 'full_data_ref' field in compressed outputs from tools like kubelint, k8s_optimize, or analyze_project.
+
+## Query examples for lint tools (kubelint, hadolint, etc.):
+- "severity:critical" - Get all critical issues
+- "severity:high" - Get all high severity issues
+- "file:deployment.yaml" - Get issues in a specific file
+- "code:DL3008" - Get all issues with a specific code
+- "container:nginx" - Get issues for a specific container
+
+## Query examples for analyze_project outputs:
+IMPORTANT: For analyze_project outputs, ALWAYS use a query to avoid context overflow!
+- "section:summary" - Get project summary (recommended first query)
+- "section:projects" - List all projects with basic info
+- "section:frameworks" - List all detected frameworks
+- "section:languages" - List all detected languages
+- "section:services" - List all detected services
+- "project:name" - Get details for a specific project (e.g., "project:api-gateway")
+- "service:name" - Get details for a specific service
+- "language:Go" - Get language detection details for Go
+- "framework:React" - Get framework details
+- "compact:true" - Get compacted output (file arrays → counts)
+
+Without a query, analyze_project returns compacted output (file arrays replaced with counts)."#.to_string(),

+//! Kubernetes Metrics Client for live cluster resource usage.
+//!
+//! Connects to a Kubernetes cluster and fetches actual CPU/memory usage
+//! from the metrics-server API. This provides the "ground truth" data
+//! needed for precise right-sizing recommendations.
+//!
+//! # Prerequisites
+//!
+//! - Valid kubeconfig (uses default context or specified context)
+//! - metrics-server installed in the cluster
+//! - RBAC permissions to read pods and metrics
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```rust,ignore
+//! use syncable_cli::analyzer::k8s_optimize::metrics_client::MetricsClient;
+//!
+//! let client = MetricsClient::new().await?;
+//! let metrics = client.get_pod_metrics("default").await?;
+//!
+//! for pod in metrics {
+//!     println!("{}: CPU={}, Memory={}", pod.name, pod.cpu_usage, pod.memory_usage);

+//! Kubernetes Resource Optimization Analyzer
+//!
+//! A native Rust analyzer for detecting over-provisioned and under-provisioned
+//! Kubernetes workloads. Helps reduce cloud costs by right-sizing resource
+//! requests and limits.
+//!
+//! # Features
+//!
+//! ## Phase 1: Static Analysis
+//! - Static analysis of Kubernetes manifests (no cluster access required)
+//! - **Terraform HCL support** - Parse `kubernetes_*` provider resources
+//! - Pattern-based detection of over/under-provisioning
+//! - Workload type classification for smarter recommendations
+//! - Support for Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs, CronJobs
+//! - Helm chart and Kustomize directory support
+//! - Multiple output formats (table, JSON)
+//!
+//! ## Phase 2: Live Cluster Analysis
+//! - **Kubernetes API integration** - Connect to real clusters via kubeconfig
+//! - **metrics-server support** - Real-time CPU/memory usage data
+//! - **Prometheus integration** - Historical metrics (P50, P95, P99, max)
+//! - Data-driven recommendations based on actual usage
+//! - Waste percentage calculations with confidence levels
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```rust,ignore
+//! use syncable_cli::analyzer::k8s_optimize::{lint, K8sOptimizeConfig, OptimizationResult};
+//! use std::path::Path;
+//!
+//! // Static analysis (no cluster needed)
+//! let config = K8sOptimizeConfig::default();
+//! let result = lint(Path::new("./k8s/"), &config);
+//!
+//! // Or using the backward-compatible analyze() function:
+//! let result = analyze(Path::new("./k8s/"), &config);
+//!
+//! // Live cluster analysis (requires kubeconfig)
+//! use syncable_cli::analyzer::k8s_optimize::live_analyzer::{LiveAnalyzer, LiveAnalyzerConfig};
+//! let live_config = LiveAnalyzerConfig::default();
+//! let analyzer = LiveAnalyzer::new(live_config).await?;
+//! let live_result = analyzer.analyze().await?;
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Optimization Rules
+//!
+//! The analyzer checks for these common issues (K8S-OPT-001 through K8S-OPT-010):
+//!
+//! ## Over-Provisioning Detection
+//! - K8S-OPT-005: CPU request > 1 core for non-batch workload
+//! - K8S-OPT-006: Memory request > 2Gi for non-database workload
+//! - K8S-OPT-007: Excessive CPU limit-to-request ratio (> 10x)
+//! - K8S-OPT-008: Excessive memory limit-to-request ratio (> 4x)
+//!
+//! ## Under-Provisioning Detection
+//! - K8S-OPT-001: No CPU request defined
+//! - K8S-OPT-002: No memory request defined
+//! - K8S-OPT-003: No CPU limit defined
+//! - K8S-OPT-004: No memory limit defined
+//!
+//! ## Best Practices
+//! - K8S-OPT-009: Requests equal to limits (no bursting allowed)
+//! - K8S-OPT-010: Unbalanced resource allocation for workload type
