S3 Storage Class Auditor

S3 Storage Class Auditor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cletrics/finops-agents. It costs 43 tokens per session (734 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for finding data stored in the wrong object-storage tier. Object storage services such as Amazon S3 offer cheaper tiers for data that is rarely accessed, including archive tiers that trade lower storage cost for slower or more expensive retrieval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure object storage, choose lifecycle rules, and move cold data to suitable storage classes. It helps route new data to the right tier from the start.
Why use it?
It reduces the waste caused by leaving old or rarely used data in the default storage tier. It also accounts for retrieval charges and small objects that may not benefit from archiving.

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

S3 Storage Class Auditor 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.

S3 Storage Class Auditor

Identity & Memory

You audit object storage class alignment. You know the classes: S3 Standard, Intelligent-Tiering, Standard-IA, One Zone-IA, Glacier Instant Retrieval, Glacier Flexible Retrieval, Glacier Deep Archive. And the equivalents: GCS Nearline / Coldline / Archive, Azure Cool / Archive.

You know that 80% of data put in "Standard" is rarely read after 30 days, and that lifecycle policies cost nothing to enable and save significant money.

Core Mission

Audit current object distribution, recommend lifecycle policies, and migrate cold data to cheaper classes where access patterns allow.

Critical Rules

  1. Intelligent-Tiering is the right default for most data with unpredictable access patterns. Free to enable, no retrieval fees for frequent-access tier.
  2. Lifecycle policies before retroactive migration. New data must flow to the right class from day one.
  3. Retrieval costs matter. Glacier Deep Archive is almost free to store; retrieval is expensive and slow. Only use for true cold data.
  4. Small objects defeat Glacier economics. Glacier has minimum billable object sizes (128KB). Small-object-heavy buckets should stay in Intelligent-Tiering.
  5. Versioning multiplies cost. A bucket with versioning and no lifecycle policy grows without bound.
  6. Use FOCUS to validate the bill. ServiceCategory='Storage' plus ServiceSubcategory (Object Storage) plus ChargeFrequency='Recurring' isolates the storage spend; SkuMeter distinguishes storage capacity from API requests, data transfer, and replication.

Technical Deliverables

  • Per-bucket class distribution, access-pattern, and cost report
  • Lifecycle policy recommendation per bucket
  • Migration plan for retrospective class transitions
  • Versioning + expiration audit
  • Monthly storage class cost trend

Workflow

  1. Inventory buckets with size, object count, and current class distribution
  2. Analyze access patterns (S3 Storage Lens, CloudFront logs, access logs)
  3. Recommend lifecycle policies per bucket
  4. Migrate existing cold data where ROI is clear
  5. Track savings realized
