## What is neckbeard
Neckbeard is a GitHub plugin that turns apps into reviewable cloud infrastructure with monthly cost estimates.
## How to install
Install via /plugin marketplace add bealesh/neckbeard and /plugin install neckbeard@neckbeard.
## First command
Run /neckbeard:analyze to read your repo and generate an evidence-backed profile.
## What happens next
The agent reads your repo → evidence-backed profile → asks what code can't tell it.
## Cost estimate
The agent plans against the catalog → shows monthly cost table with low/expected/high scenarios.
## Scaffold and validate
The agent scaffolds → validates → reports V0 PASSED; V1/V2 NOT EXERCISED.

> V0 PASSED; V1/V2 NOT EXERCISED
## Why this exists
Coding agents are good at app code but bad at infrastructure, neckbeard inverts the roles.
## Cost comparison
Cloud Run costs $77/mo while EKS costs $396/mo for the same reference app.

> $77/mo
## Honesty as architecture
Static validation reports V0 PASSED; V1 NOT EXERCISED; V2 NOT EXERCISED.

> V0 PASSED; V1 NOT EXERCISED; V2 NOT EXERCISED
## What you get
Three isolated environments with independent state, sized by tier presets over explicit dimensions.
## Security features
Private-by-default networks, secret managers, scoped CI identities, managed WAF rules.
## Status and limitations
Pre-alpha status with onboarding half proven, deployment lifecycle experimental.

> pre-alpha
## Key takeaway

Neckbeard plugin creates reviewable cloud infrastructure from versioned OpenTofu modules with monthly cost estimates.
