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.

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 | $0.00226 | $0.06702 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00090 | $0.02681 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00045 | $0.01340 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00670 |
Grade A, and why
msk-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 1mo 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 — 591 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Amazon MSK Operations
Operate, troubleshoot, and assess Amazon MSK (Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka) Provisioned clusters — both Standard and Express broker types. This skill covers day-to-day operations (health assessments, monitoring setup) and ad-hoc incident response (performance degradation, consumer lag, storage full, unexpected broker reboots).
When to Use
Activate this skill when the user asks to:
- Review, audit, or assess an MSK cluster for best practices, health, or operational readiness.
- Troubleshoot an MSK cluster problem: high CPU, high produce/fetch latency, consumer lag, broker storage running out, TrafficShaping events, under-replicated partitions, or an unexpected broker restart.
- Set up MSK monitoring: choose a monitoring level, create recommended CloudWatch
alarms and dashboards, understand the metrics available in the
AWS/Kafkanamespace. - Plan an MSK maintenance event: rolling restart, Kafka version upgrade, security patching, broker instance type change.
- Advise on Kafka client (producer / consumer) configuration when the client is connecting to an MSK cluster.
Do not activate this skill for MSK Connect, MSK Serverless, or MSK Replicator — those are separate services with their own operational surfaces.
Broker Type Determination
Determine the broker type first — many checks differ between Standard and Express.
aws kafka describe-cluster-v2 --cluster-arn <cluster-arn>
Check ClusterInfo.Provisioned.BrokerNodeGroupInfo.InstanceType:
- Starts with
kafka.(e.g.kafka.m5.large,kafka.m7g.xlarge) → Standard broker. - Starts with
express.(e.g.express.m7g.large) → Express broker.
Key Standard vs Express differences
Standard brokers use customer-managed EBS volumes for storage. You choose
instance types (kafka.m5.*, kafka.m7g.*), provision EBS, and manage storage
scaling. Standard brokers have scheduled maintenance windows.
Express brokers provide fully managed, pay-as-you-go storage with no EBS
provisioning. Instance types are prefixed with express.m7g.*. Express brokers
offer up to 3× more throughput per broker than Standard, and have no maintenance
windows. Express enforces a fixed replication factor of 3 and
min.insync.replicas=2 — you cannot create topics with RF=1.

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.

msk-operations is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws/tools-for-devops-agent (108 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 226 tokens to every session and 6,702 once invoked, about $0.0009 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.
