atmos-version

atmos-version is a skill for Claude Code from cloudposse/atmos. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,252 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A version-tracking system for external dependencies declared in Atmos configuration. It records the selected versions in a lock file and can apply or check those versions in project files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to pin dependency versions, manage update tracks, maintain lock files, update version references, and verify version drift in CI.
Why use it?
It keeps dependency updates predictable and reviewable, while detecting when files or lock data no longer match the chosen versions.

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-version 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 1mo 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 Version Tracker

Use this skill for Atmos-managed software versions under the top-level version: section of atmos.yaml.

The Version Tracker manages external dependency versions that Atmos should resolve, lock, apply to files, and verify. It is separate from the top-level atmos version command, which reports the Atmos CLI version.

Core Model

Version policy lives in atmos.yaml; resolved versions live in a lock file, usually versions.lock.yaml.

version:
  track: prod
  lock_file: versions.lock.yaml

  dependencies:
    checkout:
      ecosystem: github/actions
      datasource: github-tags
      package: actions/checkout
      desired: v6
      update:
        pin: sha

    opentofu:
      ecosystem: toolchain
      datasource: toolchain
      package: opentofu
      desired: "~1.10"

  tracks:
    prod:
      defaults:
        update:
          strategy: patch
          cooldown: 14d

Important concepts:

  • track: named lane such as dev, staging, or prod.
  • dependencies: base catalog of external versions.
  • tracks.<name>.dependencies: per-track overrides.
  • defaults, entry update, and groups: inherited update policy.
  • lock_file: resolved, deterministic versions read by runtime, file managers, and CI.
  • pin: sha / pin: digest: lock immutable Git SHAs or OCI digests.

Command Workflow

Use atmos version track (alias tracks) for the managed-version command group:

atmos version track list
atmos version track show prod
atmos version track add checkout --package=actions/checkout --pin=sha
atmos version track set checkout --desired=v6
atmos version track lock prod
atmos version track update prod --group=infrastructure
atmos version track status prod --format=json
atmos version track diff prod
atmos version track apply prod --check
atmos version track verify prod
