aws-cloud

aws-cloud is a skill for Claude Code from jpoutrin/product-forge. It costs 40 tokens per session (440 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing and implementing cloud systems on Amazon Web Services (AWS), a platform that provides servers, storage, databases, networking, and other infrastructure. It covers services such as EC2, Lambda, S3, and RDS, plus Terraform and CloudFormation for defining infrastructure in files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing AWS infrastructure, deploying virtual servers or serverless functions, storing files, running databases, configuring networks, or writing infrastructure as code.
Why use it?
It helps organize AWS systems around security, reliability, performance, operations, and cost rather than choosing services in isolation.

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-cloud 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

AWS Cloud Skill

This skill provides AWS architecture patterns and best practices.

Core Services

Service Use Case
EC2 Virtual servers
Lambda Serverless functions
S3 Object storage
RDS Managed databases
ECS/EKS Container orchestration
CloudFront CDN
Route 53 DNS

Well-Architected Framework

  1. Operational Excellence - Automation, monitoring
  2. Security - IAM, encryption, compliance
  3. Reliability - Multi-AZ, backups, DR
  4. Performance - Right-sizing, caching
  5. Cost Optimization - Reserved instances, spot

Terraform Patterns

# VPC with public/private subnets
module "vpc" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/vpc/aws"

  name = "my-vpc"
  cidr = "10.0.0.0/16"

  azs             = ["us-east-1a", "us-east-1b"]
  private_subnets = ["10.0.1.0/24", "10.0.2.0/24"]
  public_subnets  = ["10.0.101.0/24", "10.0.102.0/24"]

  enable_nat_gateway = true
}

Security Best Practices

  • Use IAM roles, not access keys
  • Enable MFA for root and IAM users
  • Encrypt data at rest (KMS)
  • Use VPC for network isolation
  • Enable CloudTrail for audit
  • Use Security Groups as firewalls

Cost Optimization

  • Use Reserved Instances for steady workloads
  • Use Spot Instances for flexible workloads
  • Right-size instances based on metrics
  • Use S3 lifecycle policies
  • Enable Cost Explorer alerts

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.
