cloud-security

cloud-security is a skill for Codex from bestagentkits/agency-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (3,660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cloud security assessment tool for finding risky settings in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It checks access permissions, storage exposure, network rules, and infrastructure code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review cloud security posture, trace possible IAM privilege escalation, check public S3 storage and open security groups, and inspect infrastructure-as-code security gaps.
Why use it?
Cloud services can be left open or grant more access than intended, creating paths attackers could exploit. This helps find those configuration risks before they are used.

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

cloud-security 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/cloud_posture_check.py), 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.

Cloud Security

Cloud security posture assessment skill for detecting IAM privilege escalation, public storage exposure, network configuration risks, and infrastructure-as-code misconfigurations. This is NOT incident response for active cloud compromise (see incident-response) or application vulnerability scanning (see security-pen-testing) — this is about systematic cloud configuration analysis to prevent exploitation.


Table of Contents


Overview

What This Skill Does

This skill provides the methodology and tooling for cloud security posture management (CSPM) — systematically checking cloud configurations for misconfigurations that create exploitable attack surface. It covers IAM privilege escalation paths, storage public exposure, network over-permissioning, and infrastructure code security.

Distinction from Other Security Skills

Skill Focus Approach
cloud-security (this) Cloud configuration risk Preventive — assess before exploitation
incident-response Active cloud incidents Reactive — triage confirmed cloud compromise
threat-detection Behavioral anomalies Proactive — hunt for attacker activity in cloud logs
security-pen-testing Application vulnerabilities Offensive — actively exploit found weaknesses

Prerequisites

Read access to IAM policy documents, S3 bucket configurations, and security group rules in JSON format. For continuous monitoring, integrate with cloud provider APIs (AWS Config, Azure Policy, GCP Security Command Center).

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.

cloud-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository bestagentkits/agency-skills (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 3,660 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
