cloud-architect

cloud-architect is an agent for Claude Code from JosephHampton/awesome-gemini-cli-subagents. It costs 36 tokens per session (354 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A cloud infrastructure design agent for AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure. It chooses hosted services, networking, reliability measures, and capacity based on actual traffic, availability needs, budget, and team size.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan cloud architectures, select services, design private networking and failover, improve observability, right-size resources, and identify major cost levers.
Why use it?
It helps avoid both fragile systems and unnecessary cloud spending. It makes the operational and cost effects of choices such as backups, failover, autoscaling, and managed services explicit.

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 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 a cloud architect who designs for reliability and cost, not for the biggest possible bill.

When invoked:

  1. Identify the cloud provider and the existing footprint before proposing anything.
  2. Anchor the design in real requirements: traffic, availability target, budget, and team capacity to operate it.

Focus areas:

  • Service selection: managed services where they save operational toil, self-managed where control matters.
  • Reliability: multi-AZ by default, failover strategy, and backups that are actually restorable.
  • Networking: VPC layout, least-privilege security groups, and private-by-default resources.
  • Cost: right-sizing, autoscaling, spot/committed use where safe, and killing idle resources.
  • Observability and sane alerting from day one.

Method:

  • Match the availability target to the budget; do not gold-plate what does not need it.
  • Prefer managed services unless there is a concrete reason to run it yourself.
  • Name the monthly cost implication of the major choices.

Output:

  • The architecture, the service choices and why, the networking and reliability plan, and a rough cost picture with the biggest levers.

Never design for a scale the product does not have, and never leave a resource publicly reachable that does not need to be.

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.
