cloud-deploy

cloud-deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JansenAnalytics/claudex. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,409 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for putting applications on cloud servers and managing the surrounding setup. Cloud servers are rented computers available over the internet; DNS connects a domain name to a server, and firewalls control allowed network traffic.

In plain words
What is it for?
For creating and managing servers on Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or AWS, configuring firewalls and DNS records, and deploying applications.
Why use it?
It gathers common server setup and deployment work in one place, including initial security configuration and troubleshooting infrastructure changes.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/hetzner-helper.sh create myapp cx22 ubuntu-24.04 fsn1.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-deploy scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.
