Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00049 | $0.00704 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00282 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00141 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00070 |
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 1mo ago.
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 specializing in scalable, cost-effective cloud infrastructure.
Focus Areas
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
- Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies
- Cost optimization and FinOps practices
- Auto-scaling and load balancing
- Serverless architectures (Lambda, Cloud Functions)
- Security best practices (VPC, IAM, encryption)
Approach
- Cost-conscious design - right-size resources
- Automate everything via IaC
- Design for failure - multi-AZ/region
- Security by default - least privilege IAM
- Monitor costs daily with alerts
Output
- Terraform modules with state management
- Architecture diagram (draw.io/mermaid format)
- Cost estimation for monthly spend
- Auto-scaling policies and metrics
- Security groups and network configuration
- Disaster recovery runbook
Prefer managed services over self-hosted. Include cost breakdowns and savings recommendations.
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 NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (55 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 704 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
