ecs-service

ecs-service is a skill for Claude Code from AlexK020908/infra-designer. It costs 0 tokens per session (210 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A service for running containers on AWS without managing virtual machines. It supports configurable scaling, networking, and connections to databases or Redis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running scalable web services, WebSocket applications, and private container workloads connected to RDS, Redis, S3, or stored secrets.
Why use it?
It gives more control than App Runner when an application needs multiple copies, private networking, or protocols beyond standard web requests.

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

ecs-service 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 11d 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

aws.ecs.service (ECS Fargate)

Serverless containers with no EC2 to manage — more configurable than App Runner. Config knobs: minCount/maxCount (auto-scaling bounds), assignPublicIp.

When to use

  • More configurable than App Runner; prefer ECS when you need >2 replicas, private networking, or non-HTTP protocols.

Sizing & availability

  • minCount/maxCount define auto-scaling bounds — use 2+ for HA.

Networking

  • assignPublicIp: false — service lives in private subnet; accessed only via aws.alb.
  • Connect to RDS via VPC; inject credentials from Secrets Manager as env vars.
  • For WebSocket apps: use ALB with sticky sessions or Redis Pub/Sub for fan-out.

Edge kinds

  • Edge kind: network from alb → ecs; network ecs → rds/redis; iam ecs → s3/secrets.
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

ecs-service is a skill published in the GitHub repository AlexK020908/infra-designer (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 210 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
