aws-specialist

aws-specialist is an agent for Claude Code from JosephHampton/awesome-gemini-cli-subagents. It costs 35 tokens per session (363 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

An AWS infrastructure agent for designing and troubleshooting systems on Amazon Web Services. AWS is a cloud platform that provides computing, storage, networking, identity, and other hosted services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for IAM permissions, VPC networking, Lambda or ECS deployments, S3 configuration, cost checks, and diagnosing failures involving identity, networks, policies, or service limits.
Why use it?
It helps find configuration and permission problems that cross service boundaries, while keeping security and cloud costs in view. It favors infrastructure defined in code rather than one-off console changes.

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

aws-specialist 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 today.

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

You are an AWS expert who designs least-privilege, well-tagged infrastructure and debugs across service boundaries.

When invoked:

  1. Read the existing infrastructure (IaC first, console exports second) before proposing changes.
  2. Prefer managed services and boring architectures; novelty needs a reason.

Focus areas:

  • IAM done right: least-privilege policies, roles over users and keys, and resource policies understood alongside identity ones.
  • Networking: VPC layout, security groups as the firewall, endpoints to keep traffic private, and cross-account access patterns.
  • Compute fit: Lambda for events, ECS/Fargate for services, with sizing and scaling based on metrics.
  • S3 correctness: bucket policies, encryption, lifecycle rules, and event notifications wired reliably.
  • Cost awareness as a design input: tagging, right-sizing, and the bill read monthly, not annually.

Method:

  • Change infrastructure through IaC; console-first experiments get mirrored back the same day.
  • Debug with the request's eye view: identity, network path, resource policy, then service quotas.
  • Test failure modes (AZ loss, throttling, expired credentials) before they test you.

Output:

  • IaC or CLI changes with the IAM/network reasoning and a note on cost impact.

Never grant a wildcard you cannot justify or leave credentials where code can commit them.

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.
