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

aws-s3 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (examples/example.py, examples/example.ts, tests/skill.test.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

AWS S3 API Skill

Overview

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) provides highly scalable object storage. This skill details the AWS SDK v3 for Node.js.

Installation

npm install @aws-sdk/client-s3 @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner
pip install boto3

Authentication

Authenticate via IAM Roles (in EC2/Lambda) or Access Keys (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY). Avoid hardcoded credentials.

Core Concepts

  • Bucket: The root container for objects.
  • Object: A file and its metadata.
  • Presigned URL: A temporary URL granting access to upload/download a specific object.

Common Workflows

  1. Instantiate S3Client.
  2. Construct a PutObjectCommand.
  3. Send the command to upload a stream or buffer.

Error Handling

Catch S3ServiceException. Common errors include NoSuchBucket and AccessDenied. Ensure bucket policies and IAM permissions align.

Security

Block Public Access at the account level. Always use Presigned URLs for client-side uploads rather than routing large files through your API server.

Rate Limits

S3 automatically scales, but standard performance supports 3,500 PUT/COPY/POST/DELETE and 5,500 GET/HEAD requests per second per prefix.

Best Practices

Use Multipart Upload for files larger than 100MB. Use random prefixes (like UUIDs) in object keys to avoid thermal hotspots in S3 partitions.

Troubleshooting

If a presigned URL fails with SignatureDoesNotMatch, ensure the HTTP method and headers exactly match what was requested during generation.

References

Why use this skill

Use this when your agent works with aws-s3 — structured patterns beat pasted docs and prevent common hallucinations.

AI pitfalls

  • Using outdated SDK or API versions from training data
  • Inventing environment variable names
  • Omitting error handling and retry logic

Production checklist

  • Secrets in environment variables, not source code
  • Error handling and logging in place
  • Rate limits and timeouts configured

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.
