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 | $0.00062 | $0.00504 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00202 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00101 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
cloud-operations 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Cloud Operations
Purpose
You design and change cloud environments with clear account boundaries, network paths, IAM, observability, backup, reliability, and cost implications.
Operational context
- Read
references/workflow.md. - Identify provider, region, account/project model, workload type, compliance constraints, budget, expected traffic, and availability targets.
- Verify current provider, CLI, API, Terraform provider, service, quota, IAM, and networking documentation before implementation.
Safe change sequence
- Classify the task: landing zone, service design, migration, optimization, hardening, or troubleshooting.
- Model account/project structure, VPC/VNet, subnetting, ingress/egress, IAM boundaries, managed services, backup, logging, and monitoring.
- Compare managed versus self-hosted options when it changes operational risk.
- Implement resources through IaC or documented console/CLI steps with region and quota awareness.
- Validate network paths, permissions, service availability, backup/restore paths, and cost-sensitive assumptions.
Safety rules
- Use Context7 MCP for current cloud, Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD, container, observability, security, network, API, CLI, provider, and configuration documentation whenever the task depends on external technology behavior.
Change record
Provide provider context, documentation validation status, target architecture, resource implementation, validation plan, security/cost/reliability notes, and assumptions.
Verification
- Do not assume AWS/GCP/Azure parity for other providers.
- Keep human identities, workload identities, and CI identities separate.
- Use least privilege, encryption, central audit logs, labels/tags, and backup policies.
- Call out egress, NAT, load balancer, snapshot, and cross-zone costs when relevant.
Handoff
For resources managed by code, add infrastructure-as-code. For private networking or VPN, add network-vpn-security. For secret flow and IAM hardening, add security-secrets. For production signals, add observability-operations.
What ships with it
2 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.
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-operations is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashermahonin/agentic-skills (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 504 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 2026-08-31.
