What is cloud-architect?

A cloud architecture specialist for designing systems on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It also covers infrastructure described in code, security, scaling, recovery, and cloud spending.

Use it to design or review cloud systems, multi-cloud setups, serverless applications, microservices, infrastructure-as-code, disaster recovery, and cost plans.

It helps compare cloud choices and reason through reliability, security, cost, and growth before infrastructure is built.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00075	$0.01532
Opus 5.5	$0.00030	$0.00613
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00306
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00153

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 2mo 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.

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.
