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 | $0.00071 | $0.03336 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.01668 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00667 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00334 |
Grade A, and why
service-quota-check 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 8d 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.

Service Quota Check
Use this skill to check AWS service quota utilization during investigations and before provisioning new resources. It determines whether a quota is nearing its limit (85%+ utilization) and takes action: requesting a quota increase via the Service Quotas API when possible, or recommending a support case when programmatic increases are not supported.
When to Use This Skill
- An error message indicates throttling or limit exceeded (e.g.,
ThrottlingException,TooManyRequestsException,LimitExceededException,ResourceLimitExceeded). - A resource creation or scaling operation fails with capacity errors.
- An investigation recommendation involves provisioning additional AWS resources (e.g., adding EC2 instances, creating VPCs, adding NAT Gateways, launching RDS instances).
- Capacity planning or pre-launch readiness checks.
- Proactive monitoring of quota utilization across services.
Prerequisites
- The agent must have permissions to call Service Quotas APIs:
servicequotas:ListServicesservicequotas:ListServiceQuotasservicequotas:GetServiceQuotaservicequotas:RequestServiceQuotaIncreaseservicequotas:ListRequestedServiceQuotaChangeHistoryservicequotas:CreateSupportCase
- For utilization data via CloudWatch, the agent needs:
cloudwatch:GetMetricDatacloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics
- Service Quotas is a regional service. Quotas must be checked in the region where resources are deployed.
Step 1: Identify the Service and Quota Context
Determine which service and quota to check based on the investigation context:
- From error messages — extract the service name and specific limit mentioned.
- From recommendations — if the recommendation is to provision resources, identify the service (e.g., EC2, VPC, RDS, Lambda, ELB) and the resource type.
- From alarms — if a CloudWatch alarm indicates capacity pressure, identify the underlying service.

What ships with it
6 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.

service-quota-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws/tools-for-devops-agent (45 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 3,336 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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.
