hcp-create-aws

hcp-create-aws is a skill for Claude Code from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 32 tokens per session (4,348 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Deployment guidance for creating HyperShift clusters on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It covers AWS credentials, permissions, virtual networks, regions, and machine types.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure and deploy a HyperShift cluster on AWS with STS credentials, IAM roles, and a suitable VPC.
Why use it?
It helps prevent common AWS setup problems such as missing permissions, unavailable instance types, or overlapping network ranges.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/user/.aws/sts-creds.json.

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

hcp-create-aws 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 5d 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.

HyperShift AWS Provider

This skill provides implementation guidance for creating HyperShift clusters on AWS, handling AWS-specific requirements including STS credentials, IAM roles, VPC configuration, and regional best practices.

When to Use This Skill

This skill is automatically invoked by the /hcp:generate aws command to guide the AWS provider cluster creation process.

Prerequisites

  • AWS CLI configured with appropriate credentials
  • HyperShift operator installed and configured
  • STS credentials file for the target AWS account
  • IAM role with required permissions for HyperShift
  • Pull secret for accessing OpenShift images

AWS Provider Overview

AWS Provider Peculiarities

  • Requires AWS credentials (STS): Must have valid STS credentials file
  • Region selection affects availability zones: Different regions have different AZ availability
  • Instance types vary by region: Not all instance types available in all regions
  • VPC CIDR must not conflict: Must not overlap with existing infrastructure
  • IAM roles: Can be auto-created or use pre-existing roles

Common AWS Configurations

Development Environment:

  • Single replica control plane (cost-effective)
  • m5.large instances (balanced performance/cost)
  • 2 availability zones (basic redundancy)
  • Basic networking (public endpoints)

Production Environment:

  • Highly available control plane
  • m5.xlarge+ instances (better performance)
  • 3+ availability zones (high availability)
  • Custom VPC configuration
  • KMS encryption enabled

Cost-Optimized Environment:

  • Single NAT gateway
  • Smaller instance types
  • Minimal replicas
  • Spot instances (where applicable)

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Analyze Cluster Description

Parse the natural language description for AWS-specific requirements:

Environment Type Detection:

  • Development: "dev", "development", "testing", "demo", "sandbox"
  • Production: "prod", "production", "critical", "enterprise"
  • Cost-Optimized: "cheap", "cost", "minimal", "budget", "demo"
