cloud-architect

cloud-architect is an agent for Claude Code from travisjneuman/.claude. It costs 69 tokens per session (2,242 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cloud architecture guide for designing systems on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or more than one provider. It covers serverless services, containers, databases, networking, scaling, recovery, and infrastructure choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for high-level cloud design, multi-cloud or multi-region planning, serverless versus container decisions, Kubernetes architecture, disaster recovery, and cost reviews.
Why use it?
It helps compare hosting approaches, plan cloud migrations, reduce unnecessary infrastructure costs, and prepare for outages. It also helps assess dependence on a particular cloud provider.

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 10d 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 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.
