atmos-settings

atmos-settings is a skill for Claude Code from cloudposse/atmos. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,025 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A configuration guide for Atmos, a command-line tool that manages infrastructure settings. It covers global options such as logs, errors, environment variables, documentation defaults, metadata, and version requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure terminal output, logging, error reporting, environment variables, generated documentation, project metadata, and supported Atmos versions.
Why use it?
It helps you find and set project-wide CLI behaviour in one place, without confusing these options with settings owned by narrower subsystems.

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-settings 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Atmos Settings

Use this skill for global atmos.yaml options that are not owned by a narrower subsystem skill.

Owned Sections

Section Use for
settings Global CLI behavior, terminal behavior, telemetry, experimental options
logs Log level, log file path, log color, debug output behavior
errors Error output formatting and error reporting options
env Environment variables applied to Atmos operations
docs Documentation generation defaults
metadata Project-level metadata such as name, tags, and version
version Minimum or maximum Atmos version constraints

If a setting belongs to a subsystem such as templates, validation, auth, CI, or toolchain, load that subsystem skill instead.

Common Pattern

settings:
  terminal:
    pager: false
    syntax_highlighting:
      enabled: true
  telemetry:
    enabled: false

logs:
  level: Info

env:
  AWS_REGION: us-east-1

metadata:
  name: platform-infrastructure

Terminal Appearance and Color

settings.terminal controls Atmos's terminal output appearance (color, theme, width, unicode, syntax highlighting, pager). Fields:

settings:
  terminal:
    color: true               # Explicitly force color on (overrides TTY auto-detection)
    no_color: false           # Deprecated: use the --no-color flag or ATMOS_NO_COLOR/NO_COLOR env vars instead
    force_color: false        # ENV-only (ATMOS_FORCE_COLOR) -- not settable from this config field
    theme: dracula             # Theme name; see `atmos theme list` for available names
    max_width: 120
    unicode: true
    syntax_highlighting:
      enabled: true
    pager: false               # false/true/off/on/"less"/a specific pager command

Precedence: no_color (config) is deprecated in favor of the --no-color flag/env vars below. IsColorEnabled logic: no_color forces color off; else explicit color: true forces it on; otherwise Atmos falls back to TTY auto-detection.
