ops-aws-audit is a skill for Claude Code from Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,073 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only AWS review that inventories cloud resources, security settings, and recent usage costs, then produces a severity-ranked report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check IAM access and MFA, exposed network resources, storage and database settings, logging, Lambda runtimes, security services, and cost changes.
Why use it?
It helps find security risks, unused resources, outdated software, and avoidable charges without changing the AWS account.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; positional $N argument.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

ops-aws-audit 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 10d 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

What this does

Runs scripts/ops-aws-audit.sh — a read-only sweep that never mutates AWS. It inventories and analyses, then writes a severity-ranked report.

Checks include (2026 baseline):

  • IAM / credentials — root access key + root MFA, access keys older than AUDIT_KEY_AGE_DAYS (default 90), console users without MFA, and whether an IAM Access Analyzer (UNUSED_ACCESS) is configured.
  • EC2 / EBS — unattached volumes, gp2gp3 candidates, unencrypted volumes, unassociated Elastic IPs, security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0 on SSH/RDP.
  • RDS — unencrypted or publicly-accessible instances, and orphaned manual snapshots whose source DB no longer exists.
  • S3 — account-level Block Public Access, per-bucket default encryption and lifecycle policies.
  • CloudWatch Logs — log groups with no retention (billed forever).
  • Lambda — deprecated/old runtimes.
  • Security posture — GuardDuty, Security Hub standards, Cost Anomaly Detection monitors, Compute Optimizer enrollment.
  • Cost — per-service Usage spend (RECORD_TYPE=Usage UnblendedCost) over the last AUDIT_COST_DAYS with the Δ vs the prior window. Credits mask net CE totals to ≈ $0 — this audit never uses unfiltered Blended/Unblended nets as burn.

Configuration (env, all optional)

Var Default Meaning
AUDIT_PROFILE (unset) Named AWS profile. Unset ⇒ standard chain (env keys / instance role / SSO).
AUDIT_REGIONS $AWS_REGION or us-east-1 Comma-separated regions.
AUDIT_OUTPUT_DIR ~/.aws-audit-history/audit-<ts> Where reports land.
AUDIT_KEY_AGE_DAYS 90 Active access-key age threshold.
AUDIT_COST_DAYS 7 Cost comparison window.

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.
