aws-cloudformation-s3

aws-cloudformation-s3 is a skill for Claude Code from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,645 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to defining Amazon S3 storage and its access rules with AWS CloudFormation, a system for describing cloud infrastructure in templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create S3 buckets, configure access policies, enable versioning and encryption, set lifecycle rules, allow browser access when needed, and share bucket details between stacks.
Why use it?
It helps avoid incomplete or inconsistent setup for storage permissions, backups, automatic cleanup, cross-origin access, and reusable infrastructure templates.

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-cloudformation-s3 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 9d 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 CloudFormation S3 Patterns

Provides S3 bucket configurations, policies, versioning, lifecycle rules, and CloudFormation template structure best practices for production-ready infrastructure.

When to Use

  • Creating S3 buckets with custom configurations
  • Implementing bucket policies for access control
  • Configuring S3 versioning for data protection
  • Setting up lifecycle rules for data management
  • Creating Outputs for cross-stack references
  • Using Parameters with AWS-specific types
  • Organizing templates with Mappings and Conditions

Overview

S3 bucket configurations, policies, versioning, lifecycle rules, and CloudFormation template structure for production-ready infrastructure.

Instructions

  1. Define Bucket Resources: Create AWS::S3::Bucket with versioning, encryption, PublicAccessBlock
  2. Configure Bucket Policy: Set up IAM policies for access control
  3. Set Up Lifecycle Rules: Define transitions and expiration policies
  4. Configure CORS: Allow cross-origin requests if needed
  5. Add Outputs: Export bucket names/ARNs for cross-stack references

Validate before deploy:

aws cloudformation validate-template --template-body file://template.yaml

Deploy with rollback on failure:

aws cloudformation deploy \
  --template-file template.yaml \
  --stack-name my-s3-stack \
  --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM

If deployment fails, CloudFormation automatically rolls back. Check failures with:

aws cloudformation describe-stack-events --stack-name my-s3-stack

Quick Reference

Resource Type Purpose
AWS::S3::Bucket Create S3 bucket
AWS::S3::BucketPolicy Set bucket-level policies
AWS::S3::BucketReplication Cross-region replication
Parameters Input values for customization
Mappings Static configuration tables
Conditions Conditional resource creation
Outputs Return values for cross-stack references

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.
