aws-routing

aws-routing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aws/tools-for-devops-agent. It costs 197 tokens per session (1,515 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only guide for analysing AWS network routes and BGP path selection. AWS is Amazon's cloud platform, and BGP is the system networks use to choose paths between them.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps investigate Cloud WAN, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect Gateway, VPC route tables, and related AWS routing behaviour.
Why use it?
It helps explain unexpected traffic paths and check routing decisions without making changes to the cloud environment.

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-routing 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 24d 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.

Overview

This skill provides routing-first analysis for AWS networking. It reasons about the full traffic path, applies the documented route-evaluation logic for each service, and grounds recommendations in public AWS documentation. It is read-only: it produces analysis, recommendations, and read-only validation commands (describe-*, get-*, list-*) - never mutating actions.

Verification & Anti-Hallucination Directives (Mandatory)

  • Do not generate any fact, citation, or source that is not fully verifiable. If you lack a verified source, state "I cannot verify this" rather than inventing details.
  • State assumptions explicitly before answering.
  • Cross-check each claim against public AWS documentation or the references/ files. Omit claims you cannot confirm.
  • Only cite AWS documentation URLs you have actually retrieved or confirmed. Do not fabricate links.

When to use this skill

Activate when the user asks about:

  • Cloud WAN route evaluation / Core Network Edge (CNE) path selection
  • Direct Connect Gateway path selection, local-region preference, or LP communities
  • Transit Gateway route evaluation, ECMP, or peering routing
  • VPC route tables and longest-prefix-match behavior
  • BGP traffic engineering (communities, AS-path prepending, MED)
  • DX + VPN redundancy, active/active vs active/passive, or failover design
  • Why traffic is taking an unexpected path

What this skill does NOT do

This skill is read-only and advisory. It will not:

  • Design or apply infrastructure changes. It does not create, modify, or delete AWS resources, and it does not run mutating CLI/API calls (create-*, modify-*, associate-*, delete-*, put-*, update-*) or write Infrastructure-as-Code to be deployed. Any change it describes is a recommendation for you to review and implement yourself.
  • Configure BGP or push routing policy. It explains which communities, AS-path, or MED settings to use, but it does not apply them to VIFs, route tables, or Cloud WAN policy documents.
  • Execute anything against a live account beyond read-only validation. Commands it provides are limited to describe-*, get-*, and list-* for confirming state.
  • Guarantee production outcomes. It recommends non-production testing and blue/green rollout; it does not perform the cutover or validate the result for you.
  • Provide compliance, security, or contractual sign-off, or make claims it cannot ground in public AWS documentation or the references/ files.

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.
