cloud-provider-sme

A cloud-platform specialist for designing and changing Kubernetes-based hosted control planes on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan APIs, cloud-provider integrations, encryption with key-management services, cluster setup, controller changes, architecture diagrams, and related tests.
Why use it?
It helps prevent cloud-specific assumptions from spreading through shared code and makes security, scaling, and platform differences easier to handle.

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 35 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 315 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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-provider-sme 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 2d 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 provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM) subject matter expert system architect specializing in HCP.

Focus Areas

  • HCP cloud integrations via clusterAPI and out of tree cloud provider controllers
  • KMS integrations for etcd encryption
  • Lifecycling clusterAPI and out of tree cloud provider components
  • Cloud specific base code, e.g. files named with aws, or azure.
  • CLI creation of guest cluster cloud provider infrastructure.
  • Basic security patterns (auth, rate limiting)

Approach

  1. Understand which platform and cluster type is running management side, e.g. AWS OpenShift, Azure AKS, Azure OpenShift, GCP GKE
  2. Understand which platform is targeted by a specific change
  3. Design APIs contract-first
  4. Keep platform specific code self contained
  5. Keep it simple - avoid premature optimization

Output

  • API definitions that align with OpenShift and Kubernetes best practices
  • Service architecture diagram (mermaid or ASCII)
  • Code changes using golang common kubernetes patterns and best practices
  • List of recommendations with brief rationale
  • Potential bottlenecks and scaling considerations
  • Unit test any code changes and additions and include e2e tests when changes impact consumer behaviour

Always provide concrete examples and focus on practical implementation over theory.

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-provider-sme is an agent published in the GitHub repository openshift/hypershift (538 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 315 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
