networking

networking is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sawrus/agent-guides. It costs 0 tokens per session (403 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing private cloud networks, including public, private, and isolated areas, and restricting which services can talk to each other.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing VPCs, configuring subnets and NAT, writing security-group rules, and reviewing cloud network architecture.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unintended network access between load balancers, application servers, and databases.

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

networking 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 6d 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.

When to load

When designing VPC topology, configuring security groups, setting up NAT, or reviewing network architecture.

VPC Design (3-tier)

VPC (10.0.0.0/16)
├── Public subnets   (10.0.1.0/24, 10.0.2.0/24) ← ALB, NAT Gateway
├── Private subnets  (10.0.10.0/24, 10.0.11.0/24) ← App servers, K8s nodes
└── Isolated subnets (10.0.20.0/24, 10.0.21.0/24) ← RDS, ElastiCache

Security Group Rules (Default-Deny)

# App tier: only accepts traffic from ALB security group
resource "aws_security_group_rule" "app_from_alb" {
  type                     = "ingress"
  from_port                = 8080
  to_port                  = 8080
  protocol                 = "tcp"
  source_security_group_id = aws_security_group.alb.id
  security_group_id        = aws_security_group.app.id
}

# DB tier: only accepts traffic from app security group
resource "aws_security_group_rule" "db_from_app" {
  type                     = "ingress"
  from_port                = 5432
  to_port                  = 5432
  protocol                 = "tcp"
  source_security_group_id = aws_security_group.app.id
  security_group_id        = aws_security_group.db.id
}

Cost Optimization

  • Use VPC Endpoints for S3/DynamoDB to avoid NAT Gateway costs
  • NAT Gateway: one per AZ in production (not one shared)
  • Transit Gateway for multi-VPC connectivity (cheaper than VPC peering at scale)

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.

networking is a skill published in the GitHub repository sawrus/agent-guides (17 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 403 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
