atmos-ci

atmos-ci is a skill for Claude Code from cloudposse/atmos. It costs 63 tokens per session (3,370 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for running Atmos infrastructure commands in automated CI/CD workflows, especially GitHub Actions. It covers jobs, change-based matrices, outputs, approvals, environments, and related deployment checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building native GitHub Actions workflows, selecting affected infrastructure, publishing SBOMs, handling approvals, and integrating Atlantis.
Why use it?
It gives infrastructure changes a repeatable automated path for testing, reporting, and controlled deployment.

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-ci 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 3d 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 CI

Purpose

Use this skill for CI/CD workflows that run Atmos in GitHub Actions, Atlantis, or other automation systems. Prefer Atmos Native CI: run the Atmos CLI directly in CI, with stack config as the source of truth and atmos describe affected/atmos list instances producing matrices.

Do not recommend the deprecated cloudposse/github-action-atmos* wrapper actions or cloudposse/github-action-setup-atmos. Replace those with containerized Native CI jobs that run Atmos commands directly.

Native CI First

Configure Atmos CI features in atmos.yaml; workflow YAML alone is not enough when users want summaries, outputs, checks, comments, or planfile behavior:

ci:
  enabled: true
  output:
    enabled: true
    variables:
      - has_changes
      - has_errors
      - exit_code

Changes

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.
