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.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00045 | $0.01141 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00456 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00228 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00114 |
Grade A, and why
aws-cost-ops 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 27d 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 — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AWS Cost Operations
MCP Server
- Command:
uvx awslabs.cost-explorer-mcp-server@latest(stdio transport) - Requires:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,AWS_REGION(orAWS_PROFILE) - Note: Cost Explorer API charges $0.01 per request — be mindful of query volume
Key Capabilities
- Cost breakdown: Spending by service, account, region, or tag
- Time series: Daily, monthly, or custom date range cost trends
- Forecasts: Predicted spend based on historical patterns
- Anomaly detection: Unusual spending spikes
- Filtering: Narrow by service (EC2, VPC, TGW, NAT GW, VPN, etc.)
Workflow: Network Cost Analysis
When a user asks "how much is our AWS network costing?":
- Total network spend: Cost breakdown for VPC, Transit Gateway, NAT Gateway, VPN, ELB, Direct Connect
- Trend: Monthly trend for network services over last 6 months
- Top services: Rank network services by spend (NAT GW data processing is often #1)
- Per-region: Break down network costs by region
- Forecast: Projected network spend for next month
- Report: Network cost dashboard with optimization recommendations
Workflow: Cost Anomaly Investigation
When investigating unexpected charges:
- Daily breakdown: Get daily costs for the spike period
- Service drill-down: Which service caused the spike?
- Region check: Was the spike in a specific region?
- Correlate: Cross-reference with CloudTrail for resource creation events
- Report: Root cause and recommended action
Workflow: Monthly Cost Review
For regular FinOps review:
- Month-over-month: Compare current vs previous month spending
- Service breakdown: Top 10 services by cost
- Network focus: VPC, TGW, NAT GW, VPN, ELB, Direct Connect costs
- Growth rate: Percentage change per service
- Forecast: Next month projection
- Report: Executive cost summary with trends
Common AWS Network Cost Drivers
| Service | Cost Component | Typical Driver |
|---|---|---|
| NAT Gateway | Data processing | $0.045/GB — largest network cost for most |
| NAT Gateway | Hourly charge | $0.045/hr per NAT GW |
| Transit Gateway | Data processing | $0.02/GB per attachment |
| Transit Gateway | Hourly charge | $0.05/hr per attachment |
| VPN | Hourly charge | $0.05/hr per VPN connection |
| VPN | Data transfer | $0.09/GB outbound |
| ELB (ALB) | Hourly + LCU | $0.0225/hr + LCU charges |
| ELB (NLB) | Hourly + NLCU | $0.0225/hr + NLCU charges |
| Direct Connect | Port hours | $0.03-$0.30/hr depending on speed |
| Data Transfer | Cross-AZ | $0.01/GB each direction |
| Data Transfer | Cross-Region | $0.02/GB |
| Data Transfer | Internet out | $0.09/GB (first 10TB) |
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.

aws-cost-ops is a skill published in the GitHub repository automateyournetwork/netclaw (684 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,141 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 2026-08-30.
