atmos-cache

atmos-cache is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cloudposse/atmos. It costs 35 tokens per session (741 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to configuring and using caches for CI jobs and Terraform provider or module downloads. CI, or continuous integration, automatically builds and checks code when changes are made.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for GitHub Actions cache settings, restoring and saving cache entries, and managing a Terraform registry cache.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated downloads and setup work during automated builds and infrastructure runs.

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-cache 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 yesterday.

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 Cache

Use this skill for Atmos cache behavior. There are two distinct cache surfaces: CI cache and Terraform registry cache.

Need Load
Native CI workflows atmos-ci
Tool versions installed into cache roots atmos-toolchain
Terraform component execution atmos-terraform

CI Cache

The CI cache restores and saves the Atmos XDG cache root, including toolchain installs and other known cache directories. GitHub Actions is the supported CI provider today.

ci:
  cache:
    enabled: true
    auto: true
    paths:
      - .terraform
    key: atmos-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/.tool-versions') }}
    restore_keys:
      - atmos-${{ runner.os }}-

Commands:

Command Purpose
atmos ci cache paths Print cache key, paths, and restore keys for actions/cache
atmos ci cache restore Restore the well-known cache directory
atmos ci cache save Save the well-known cache directory
atmos ci cache list List CI cache entries
atmos ci cache delete <key> Delete a CI cache entry

Use cloudposse/atmos/actions/cache@v1 when the workflow wants a composite action wrapper around Atmos cache behavior. Otherwise use atmos ci cache paths with actions/cache.

Terraform Registry Cache

atmos terraform cache manages the Atmos Terraform registry cache. It is not Terraform's provider plugin cache (TF_PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR).

Commands:

Command Purpose
atmos terraform cache list List cached providers/modules
atmos terraform cache mirror Pre-seed provider artifacts for multiple platforms
atmos terraform cache stats Show cache size and object counts
atmos terraform cache prune Remove stale metadata
atmos terraform cache delete <key> Delete a cached object
atmos terraform cache trust Trust the cache proxy certificate
atmos terraform cache untrust Remove the trusted certificate

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-cache is a skill published in the GitHub repository cloudposse/atmos (1,372 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 741 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 2026-09-03.
