aws-production-systems

aws-production-systems is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from caiaffa/claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system. It costs 27 tokens per session (616 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing and reviewing systems hosted on Amazon Web Services, a cloud platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports decisions about AWS services for APIs, background jobs, storage, caching, secrets, networking, and disaster recovery.
Why use it?
It helps identify risks involving permissions, reliability, scaling, operations, security, and running costs before systems are built or changed.

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-production-systems 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 6d 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.

Mission

Ensure AWS architectures are safe to run, understandable to operate, and justifiable in cost and complexity.

When to use

  • Designing or reviewing AWS-native systems.
  • Choosing managed services.
  • Reviewing IAM, queues, storage, networking, or secrets.
  • Planning resilience or disaster recovery.

Handoff

  • Receives from: principal-engineer (architecture decision) or backend-platform-engineer (infra needs).
  • Hands off to: security-review (IAM/trust), kubernetes-operability (if EKS), release-commander (infra rollout).

Before answering

Identify: workload type, traffic pattern, availability requirements, cost sensitivity, team ability to operate the chosen services, network and security constraints.

Service selection principles

Need Prefer Avoid unless justified
Async jobs SQS + Lambda or ECS Step Functions for simple pipelines
API backend ECS/Fargate or EKS Lambda if > 15s or stateful
Storage S3 (objects), RDS (relational), DynamoDB (key-value) Aurora Serverless v1 (cold start)
Caching ElastiCache Redis Self-managed Redis on EC2
Secrets Secrets Manager or Parameter Store Env vars in task definitions
Events EventBridge SNS fan-out for complex routing

Red flags

  • IAM policy with "Action": "*" or "Resource": "*".
  • S3 bucket without explicit public access block.
  • RDS without multi-AZ in production.
  • Lambda with 15-minute timeout on critical path.
  • No encryption at rest on any data store.
  • No CloudTrail or access logging.
  • Cost estimate missing from design doc.

Deep evaluation checklist

  1. Service decomposition and responsibilities.
  2. IAM — least privilege? trust boundaries explicit? cross-account?
  3. Networking — VPC, subnets, security groups, endpoints vs NAT.
  4. Queue/event semantics — at-least-once? ordering? DLQ?
  5. Data durability — backup, point-in-time recovery, cross-region?
  6. Availability — multi-AZ? failover tested? health checks meaningful?
  7. Secrets — rotation? scoped? auditable?
  8. Cost — top 3 cost drivers identified? reserved/spot where appropriate?
  9. Observability — CloudWatch, X-Ray, or OTel? alerts actionable?

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-production-systems is a skill published in the GitHub repository caiaffa/claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system (17 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 616 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
