atmos-auth

atmos-auth is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cloudposse/atmos. It costs 48 tokens per session (4,208 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An authentication and identity system for Atmos that brings cloud logins, roles, accounts, credential storage, and integrations into one configuration model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure login and command execution, manage credentials securely, switch between cloud identities, or create access for services such as ECR, EKS, ACR, AKS, and GitHub.
Why use it?
It avoids managing separate authentication methods and temporary credentials for every cloud service. It supports providers such as SSO, SAML, OIDC, GCP, Azure, and GitHub, plus chained identities.

About the project

Atmos is an infrastructure runtime that coordinates tools such as Terraform, OpenTofu, Kubernetes, Helm, Packer, Ansible, and containers through consistent commands and configuration. It is for teams running cloud infrastructure on laptops, in CI, or through AI agents across environments and regions. Its catalogue entries provide skills, agents, commands, and other add-ons for Atmos workflows.

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

atmos-auth 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 5d 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.

Atmos Authentication and Identity Management

Atmos Auth provides a unified authentication layer for multiple cloud providers. It consolidates AWS SSO, SAML, OIDC, GitHub Actions, GCP Workload Identity Federation, Azure, Atmos Pro, and static credentials into a single configuration model in atmos.yaml. Credentials are managed through providers (upstream authentication systems) and identities (the roles and accounts obtained from those providers), with support for identity chaining, keyring-based credential storage, and integrations like ECR, EKS, ACR, AKS, and GitHub STS.

Architecture Overview

The auth system has four layers configured under the auth: key in atmos.yaml:

  1. Providers -- Upstream systems that issue initial credentials (SSO, SAML, OIDC, GCP ADC/WIF).
  2. Identities -- Roles, permission sets, or accounts obtained from providers or chained from other identities.
  3. Keyring -- Secure credential storage backend (system keyring, encrypted file, or in-memory).
  4. Integrations -- Client-side credential materializations (ECR/ACR Docker login, EKS/AKS kubeconfig, GitHub STS).

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.
