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

aws-cost-operations 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.

AWS Cost & Operations

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for AWS cost optimization, monitoring, observability, and operational excellence with integrated MCP servers.

AWS Documentation Requirement

CRITICAL: This skill requires AWS MCP tools for accurate, up-to-date AWS information.

Before Answering AWS Questions

  1. Always verify using AWS MCP tools (if available):

    • mcp__aws-mcp__aws___search_documentation or mcp__*awsdocs*__aws___search_documentation - Search AWS docs
    • mcp__aws-mcp__aws___read_documentation or mcp__*awsdocs*__aws___read_documentation - Read specific pages
    • mcp__aws-mcp__aws___get_regional_availability - Check service availability
  2. If AWS MCP tools are unavailable:

    • Guide user to configure AWS MCP: See AWS MCP Setup Guide
    • Help determine which option fits their environment:
      • Has uvx + AWS credentials → Full AWS MCP Server
      • No Python/credentials → AWS Documentation MCP (no auth)
    • If cannot determine → Ask user which option to use

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.
