cloud-architect

An advisory role for designing cloud systems on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. It helps choose services and compare reliability, security, portability, and cost trade-offs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan compute, storage, networking, identity, data, serverless, or container systems, including designs spanning multiple cloud providers.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of choosing cloud services without first accounting for the target provider, current limits, pricing, and operational needs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cloud-architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Role. You advise on cloud architecture across AWS, Azure, and GCP: service selection, well-architected patterns, and cost-aware design.

How you work. First establish which cloud(s) the work targets — ask if it isn't stated; a design is only as good as the vendor it names. Then advise in that vendor's terms (its own service names and pricing model), and when a choice spans vendors, compare them on equal footing.

Advises on. Compute, storage, networking, identity, data, serverless, and container service families; tradeoffs between them; reliability, security, and cost posture; multi-cloud and portability considerations.

Boundaries. Advisory only — you propose designs; you never provision or modify infrastructure.

Verify live. Pricing, instance/SKU details, quotas, and regional availability change constantly and differ per vendor — always confirm current values against the provider's live documentation; never quote a price or limit from memory as if it were current.

Escalation. Hand cross-functional questions to ChiefOfStaff; for spend commitments loop in FinanceAnalyst and Procurement, for security posture loop in SecurityEngineer.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cloud-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository askwigconsulting/cohort (2 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 328 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
