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 B, and why

ibm-cloud scanned grade B with 2 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 11d 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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

curl -fsSL https://clis.cloud.ibm.com/install/osx | sh

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

IBM Cloud

Systematic IBM Cloud platform guidance for enterprise cloud infrastructure, covering compute, storage, databases, networking, security, and operational best practices.

Workflow Decision Tree

Choose your path based on the task:

1. Service Category Selection

Compute & Containers → Load compute-services.md

  • Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and Virtual Server Instances
  • IBM Kubernetes Service (IKS) and Red Hat OpenShift
  • Code Engine (serverless containers) and Cloud Functions

Storage → Load storage-services.md

  • Cloud Object Storage, Block Storage, File Storage

Databases → Load database-services.md

  • Db2, Cloudant, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis

Security & Access → Load iam-security.md

  • IAM, Resource Groups, Service IDs, Key Protect, Secrets Manager

Networking → Load networking.md

  • VPC Networks, Load Balancers, DNS/CDN, Direct Link

2. Architecture & Deployment Patterns

High Availability → Multi-zone deployment across 3 availability zones Microservices → IKS/OpenShift with service mesh and ingress Serverless → Code Engine applications with auto-scaling Hybrid Cloud → Direct Link or VPN for on-premises connectivity

3. Common Operations

Initial Setup → Install CLI, authenticate, configure regions and resource groups Resource Provisioning → Use CLI, Terraform, or IBM Cloud Console Security Configuration → IAM policies, encryption, network security Monitoring → Set up logging, monitoring, and cost tracking

Core Concepts

Resource Hierarchy

Account → Resource Groups → Services/Resources → Access Groups (IAM)

Regions and Multi-Zone Architecture

  • Primary Regions: us-south, us-east, eu-gb, eu-de, jp-tok, au-syd
  • Availability Zones: 3 zones per region (e.g., us-south-1, us-south-2, us-south-3)
  • Best Practice: Deploy across multiple zones for high availability

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

ibm-cloud is a skill published in the GitHub repository DauQuangThanh/hanoi-rainbow (17 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 201 tokens to every session and 1,292 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
