vpc-design

vpc-design is a skill for Claude Code from sawrus/agent-guides. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,351 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing private networks in cloud or bare-metal environments. It covers address ranges, subnets, routing, redundancy across zones, VPNs, and network connections between environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning VPCs and equivalent private networks, allocating CIDR ranges, designing subnets across zones, and diagnosing routing issues.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to plan network addresses and traffic paths, reducing overlap and routing mistakes.

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

vpc-design 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.

Skill: VPC / Network Design

Expertise: CIDR planning, zone-redundant subnets, routing tables, NAT, VPN/peering — AWS, GCP, Hetzner, and bare-metal.

When to load

When designing a new network for a cloud environment or bare-metal cluster, planning subnets, or diagnosing routing issues.

CIDR Allocation Strategy

Organization supernet: 10.0.0.0/8

Environment blocks:
  production:  10.10.0.0/16  (65,534 addresses)
  staging:     10.20.0.0/16
  dev:         10.30.0.0/16

Per-environment subnet layout (/16 → four /18 zones):
  Zone A (eu-west-1a): 10.10.0.0/18   (16,382 IPs)
    Public subnet:     10.10.0.0/20   (4,094 IPs — load balancers, NAT GW)
    App subnet:        10.10.16.0/20  (4,094 IPs — K8s nodes)
    Data subnet:       10.10.32.0/20  (4,094 IPs — databases, Redis)

  Zone B (eu-west-1b): 10.10.64.0/18
    (same subdivision pattern)

  Zone C (eu-west-1c): 10.10.128.0/18
    (same subdivision pattern)

  Reserved / Management: 10.10.192.0/18
    Management subnet: 10.10.192.0/24  (jump hosts, CI runners)
    Future expansion:  10.10.193.0/18

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.

vpc-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository sawrus/agent-guides (17 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,351 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
