Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00090 | $0.02347 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00036 | $0.00939 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00469 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00235 |
Grade A, and why
iac-security 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 2mo 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 — 385 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Infrastructure as Code Security
Comprehensive security scanning for Infrastructure as Code to catch misconfigurations before they become production vulnerabilities.
Core Principle: Security issues are cheaper to fix in code than in production.
Quick Start
1. Identify IaC files (Terraform, K8s, CloudFormation, ARM)
2. Run snyk_iac_scan on the directory
3. Analyze misconfigurations by severity
4. Provide secure configuration alternatives
Supported IaC Formats
| Platform | File Types |
|---|---|
| Terraform | .tf, .tf.json, .tfvars |
| Terraform Plan | JSON plan output (terraform show -json) |
| Kubernetes | .yaml / .yml with apiVersion + kind |
| Helm | Chart templates (requires Chart.yaml) |
| AWS CloudFormation | .json / .yaml with AWSTemplateFormatVersion |
| Azure ARM | .json with $schema ARM URL |
| Serverless Framework | serverless.yml |
Phase 1: Discovery
Goal: Identify all IaC files that need scanning.
Check for these indicators to confirm IaC type:
- Terraform:
.tffiles,terraform.tfstate,providerblocks - Kubernetes: YAML with
apiVersion/kind, directories namedk8s,manifests - CloudFormation:
AWSTemplateFormatVersionkey,Resourcessection with AWS types - Azure ARM:
$schemacontainingdeploymentTemplate
Then determine scan scope: single file, directory, or recursive.
Phase 2: Execute Scan
Goal: Run appropriate IaC security scan.
Basic Scan
Run snyk_iac_scan with:
- path: <directory or file path>
Terraform with Variables
Run snyk_iac_scan with:
- path: <terraform directory>
- var_file: <path to .tfvars if using variables>
Terraform Plan (more accurate)
terraform plan -out=tfplan
terraform show -json tfplan > tfplan.json
Run snyk_iac_scan with:
- path: tfplan.json
- scan: "planned-values" # or "resource-changes"
Custom Rules
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

iac-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository snyk/studio-recipes (68 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 2,347 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
