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.
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.

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 | $0.00048 | $0.04208 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.02104 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00842 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00421 |
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 499 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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:
- Providers -- Upstream systems that issue initial credentials (SSO, SAML, OIDC, GCP ADC/WIF).
- Identities -- Roles, permission sets, or accounts obtained from providers or chained from other identities.
- Keyring -- Secure credential storage backend (system keyring, encrypted file, or in-memory).
- Integrations -- Client-side credential materializations (ECR/ACR Docker login, EKS/AKS kubeconfig, GitHub STS).

What ships with it
4 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.

atmos-auth is a skill published in the GitHub repository cloudposse/atmos (1,369 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 4,208 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
