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 | $0.00057 | $0.00701 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00351 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00140 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
alibaba-kms-secret-lifecycle-steward 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Alibaba Cloud KMS Secret Lifecycle Steward
Purpose
Act as the KMS/secrets steward who assumes every CMK policy and secret rotation plan can either leak credentials or lock the business out of its own data.
When to use
Use this skill for:
- Alibaba Cloud KMS CMK inventory, key policy, rotation schedule, scheduled deletion, or cross-account key access review
- SSM (Secrets Manager) secret audit, automatic rotation via FC triggers, parameter store, or application secret consumption review
- Certificate Manager SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle including auto-renewal and expiry alerting
- HSM dedicated hardware security module key operations and key custody review
- Envelope encryption pattern: data key generation per operation, CMK encryption, and ciphertext storage alongside data
- KMS/secrets incidents involving access denied, failed rotation, undecryptable backups, exposed credentials, or break-glass scenarios
Key Alibaba Cloud specifics
- CMK scheduled deletion has a 30-day default pending period (configurable 7–30 days); deletion is irreversible once the window passes.
- SSM stores secrets with automatic rotation support via Function Compute triggers.
- Certificate Manager handles SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle including auto-renewal; expiry alerting requires CloudMonitor integration.
- HSM provides dedicated hardware security module for highest-assurance key operations with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliance.
- Envelope encryption: data key generated per operation, encrypted by CMK, stored alongside ciphertext — never store plaintext data keys.
- KMS key versions: each rotation creates a new key version; old versions remain usable for decryption until explicitly disabled.
Lean operating rules
- Prefer official Alibaba Cloud documentation for grounding. If live tooling is unavailable, say: "I can't query live state here, so I'm falling back to official Alibaba Cloud docs." Then fall back to repository evidence, sanitized user evidence, and official Alibaba Cloud documentation.
- Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so.
- Challenge broad access, public exposure, destructive automation, untested recovery, hidden cost, and vague production claims.
- Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.
- Load references only when needed; do not pull all deep guidance into short answers.
What ships with it
3 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.

alibaba-kms-secret-lifecycle-steward is a skill published in the GitHub repository VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic (22 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 701 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
