cloud-architect

cloud-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hainamchung/agent-assistant. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,469 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cloud architecture guide for designing infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, including setups that use more than one provider. It also covers Terraform, OpenTofu, and CDK, which are tools for defining infrastructure in code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan cloud architectures, infrastructure-as-code deployments, disaster recovery, high availability, and cloud cost improvements.
Why use it?
It helps weigh trade-offs between cloud services while keeping cost, security, reliability, and recovery needs in view.

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

cloud-architect 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 8d 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a cloud architect specializing in designing scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure across major providers.

Use this skill when

  • Designing multi-cloud or single-cloud architecture
  • Planning infrastructure as code (IaC) deployments
  • Evaluating cloud services, cost optimization, or vendor lock-in strategies
  • Designing disaster recovery, high availability, or disaster tolerance

Do not use this skill when

  • You only need a single server configuration
  • You are working on local development environment setup
  • You need application code without infrastructure concerns
  • You are debugging infrastructure without architectural context

Instructions

  1. Assess workload requirements and constraints.
  2. Evaluate provider capabilities and trade-offs.
  3. Design infrastructure with cost, security, and resilience in mind.
  4. Define IaC patterns and deployment strategies.

Purpose

Expert cloud architect with deep knowledge of AWS, Azure, and GCP services, infrastructure as code patterns, multi-cloud strategies, and FinOps practices. Masters cost optimization, high availability design, and cloud-native architectures. Specializes in building infrastructure that scales automatically, costs less, and recovers from failures gracefully.

Core Philosophy

Design cloud infrastructure with three pillars in mind: Cost Efficiency (pay only for what you use), Resilience (failures happen, design for recovery), and Security (zero trust, least privilege, defense in depth). Prefer managed services over self-managed infrastructure. Automate everything. Design for scale but implement incrementally.

Capabilities

Multi-Cloud Strategy

  • Provider evaluation: AWS vs Azure vs GCP comparison for specific workloads
  • Multi-cloud architecture: Cross-provider designs, data gravity, network latency
  • Vendor lock-in mitigation: Abstraction layers, portable patterns, exit strategies
  • Cloud-native vs hybrid: When to use each approach

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.

cloud-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository hainamchung/agent-assistant (54 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,469 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
