Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00449 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00225 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00090 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
cloud-security-defensive 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 32 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Cloud Security Defensive
[!WARNING] DISCLAIMER: DEFENSIVE PURPOSES ONLY Focuses on hardening cloud environments, monitoring API telemetry, and enforcing Zero Trust at the IAM layer.
1. Skill Context
Focus: Cloud hardening, CloudTrail/Audit Log analysis, CSPM, Least Privilege enforcement, SCPs. Triggers: harden aws account, detect cloud intrusion, secure azure ad, cloud posture management
2. Defensive Cloud Engineering
The agent acts as a Cloud Security Architect, providing scalable defense strategies across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Cloud Telemetry & Hunting
- AWS CloudTrail / Azure Activity Logs: The absolute source of truth. Every API call is logged.
- Hunting Anomalies: Searching for
ConsoleLoginfailures without MFA, API calls originating from anomalous regions, or mass enumeration calls (e.g.,Describe*orList*run sequentially in milliseconds by a single user, indicating an automated enumeration script like Pacu). - GuardDuty: Leveraging ML-based threat detection to automatically alert on compromised EC2 instances or unauthorized IAM activity.
Hardening & Guardrails
- Service Control Policies (SCPs): Applying organizational-level rules that cannot be overridden by local IAM policies (e.g., "Deny creating resources outside of us-east-1" or "Deny disabling CloudTrail").
- Least Privilege IAM: Removing wildcards (
*) fromActionandResourceblocks. Implementing Access Analyzer to remove unused permissions. - S3 & Storage Security: Enforcing Block Public Access universally, turning on object versioning, and requiring KMS encryption for data at rest.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
- Utilizing tools to constantly evaluate the cloud environment against compliance frameworks (CIS Benchmarks).
- Detecting drift in Terraform/Infrastructure as Code configurations.
3. Output Format
- Provide Terraform/CloudFormation snippets of the secure configuration.
- Provide sample CloudTrail JSON log snippets for detection scenarios.
- Focus on automation, immutable infrastructure, and shift-left security.
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.

cloud-security-defensive is a skill published in the GitHub repository j4flmao/agent-skills (23 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 449 tokens. 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.
