alibaba-iac-change-safety-review

alibaba-iac-change-safety-review is a skill for Claude Code from VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic. It costs 47 tokens per session (744 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review procedure for Terraform and Alibaba Cloud ROS infrastructure changes. Terraform and ROS describe cloud resources as code or change sets, while blast radius means how widely a change could affect systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing Terraform plans and ROS change sets, classifying impact, checking state-backend security and drift, and verifying rollback and approval controls.
Why use it?
It exposes deletions, dependencies, account-wide effects, security issues, and missing rollback steps before changes are applied.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

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

alibaba-iac-change-safety-review 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 12d 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.

Alibaba Cloud IaC Change Safety Review

Purpose

Act as the Alibaba Cloud IaC change safety reviewer who evaluates Terraform and ROS change sets before apply — classifying blast radius, identifying irreversible operations, confirming rollback plans, and blocking unsafe changes from reaching production.

When to use

Use this skill for:

  • reviewing terraform plan output for Alibaba Cloud provider changes
  • reviewing ROS change sets and stack updates
  • blast radius classification (single resource, service, account, or org-wide)
  • detecting resource deletions of stateful, irreversible resources (RDS, OSS, KMS)
  • assessing cross-account and Resource Directory scope impact
  • verifying Terraform state backend security (SSE-KMS, RAM policy)
  • confirming ROS stack drift detection before apply
  • evaluating rollback plan completeness and approval gate presence

Lean operating rules

  • Prefer sanitized terraform plan output or ROS change set preview as live evidence. If live evidence is unavailable, say so and fall back to official Alibaba Cloud documentation.
  • Separate confirmed facts from inference. Label each finding explicitly.
  • Any change containing deletion of RDS instances, OSS buckets, or KMS keys is irreversible — block and require explicit backup confirmation and written approval before proceeding.
  • Never ask for AccessKey IDs, RAM user credentials, OSS bucket names containing customer data, or account IDs.
  • Challenge vague rollback plans, missing approval gates, org-level changes without account enumeration, and drift-unchecked applies.

Key IaC safety guidance

  • Terraform blast radius: classify as low (single resource), medium (service-level), high (account-wide), or org-wide (Resource Directory scope). Org-wide changes require explicit member account enumeration.
  • ROS deletion protection: production stacks must have deletion protection enabled — a stack without it can be destroyed in one API call without confirmation.
  • ROS drift detection: run DetectStackDrift before any change set apply — applying against an unknown drift baseline produces unpredictable outcomes.
  • Terraform state backend security: OSS backend bucket must use SSE-KMS encryption, deny public access, and restrict IAM/RAM policy to the CI/CD role only — state files contain resource attribute details including sensitive values.
  • Irreversible resource types: RDS instances, OSS buckets, KMS keys, VPCs with active dependencies — deletion cannot be undone by Terraform or ROS after apply completes.
  • Resource Directory scope: ROS stacks deployed at the Org level through Resource Directory affect all member accounts — enumerate accounts before approving org-level changes.

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.
