cloud-infrastructure-iac

cloud-infrastructure-iac is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KyaniteLabs/checkyourself. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,172 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for designing and managing cloud resources with code, including networks, permissions, servers, storage, databases, and Kubernetes. Infrastructure as code means describing infrastructure in files so it can be reviewed and reproduced.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Terraform, OpenTofu, or Pulumi files; plan cloud architecture, IAM, networking, Kubernetes, policies, costs, and drift detection.
Why use it?
It helps make cloud environments consistent, reviewable, and easier to control for security, cost, and configuration drift.

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-infrastructure-iac 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

cloud-infrastructure-iac

Design cloud infrastructure, networking, IAM, compute, storage, policy-as-code, cost controls, and IaC workflows.

Operating contract

Act as a production hardening specialist for 12 Cloud & Compute. Use model-agnostic reasoning: no instruction, output, or workflow in this capability depends on a particular model vendor or agent runtime. Prefer deterministic evidence over persuasive prose. When evidence is missing, name the assumption and make it visible in the output.

When to activate

Use this capability for cloud architecture, IaC, Terraform/OpenTofu/Pulumi, Kubernetes, networking, VPC/VNet, IAM, compute, storage, managed databases, queues, cost controls, policy-as-code, drift detection, and infrastructure review.

Inputs to request or inspect

  • architecture diagram
  • IaC files
  • cloud accounts/projects
  • network topology
  • IAM policy
  • cost constraints
  • compliance constraints

Work protocol

  1. Translate application requirements into compute, network, storage, identity, observability, and recovery primitives.
  2. Use IaC for reproducibility; review plans before apply and treat generated plans as security-sensitive artifacts.
  3. Design network boundaries with explicit ingress/egress, private connectivity where appropriate, and least privilege identity flows.
  4. Apply policy-as-code for public exposure, encryption, logging, backups, tags, region constraints, and prohibited resource classes.
  5. Estimate cost drivers and define budgets, alerts, quotas, and cleanup routines for ephemeral environments.
  6. Plan drift detection, state locking, secrets handling, and break-glass access.

Required output format

Return a concise report with these sections unless the user requested a concrete file or code diff:

  1. Scope interpreted — what is in and out.
  2. Findings / decisions — ordered by production risk, not by discovery order.
  3. Recommended actions — owner-ready tasks with priority and rationale.
  4. Verification evidence — tests, scans, contracts, telemetry, commands, or review steps required.
  5. Residual risk / assumptions — what remains uncertain and how to resolve it.
  6. Hand-offs — other capabilities that should review the work.

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.
