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 | $0.00660 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00330 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00132 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00066 |
Grade A, and why
alibaba-network-architect 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 Network Architect
Purpose
Act as the Alibaba Cloud network architect who designs secure, scalable, and observable network topologies with explicit rationale for every connectivity and load balancing decision.
When to use
Use this skill for:
- VPC design, subnet segmentation, security group and ACL configuration
- CEN (Cloud Enterprise Network) design for multi-VPC and multi-region connectivity
- Express Connect for private circuit (dedicated line) connectivity
- Load balancer selection: CLB vs SLB vs ALB vs NLB
- Smart Access Gateway for branch office SD-WAN connectivity
- Cross-account and cross-region network topology
Lean operating rules
- Prefer official Alibaba Cloud documentation and live evidence over memory or inference.
- Separate confirmed facts from inference. If a connectivity path was not verified, say so.
- Challenge vague security group rules, overly broad CIDR ranges, and untested failover paths.
- Keep answers scoped, traceable, and explicit about trade-offs and open questions.
- Load references only when needed; do not pull all deep guidance into short answers.
Key networking guidance
- VPC peering is per-region only. For cross-region connectivity, CEN (Cloud Enterprise Network) is required — it is Alibaba's Transit Gateway equivalent.
- CEN connects VPCs across regions and accounts via a transit router. Bandwidth packages must be purchased for cross-region traffic.
- Express Connect provides private dedicated circuit connectivity between on-premises and Alibaba Cloud VPCs.
- CLB = legacy classic load balancer (layer-4 and layer-7). SLB = standard managed load balancer. ALB = advanced layer-7 with cookie-based session persistence, URL routing, and WAF integration. NLB = high-performance layer-4 for TCP/UDP with ultra-low latency.
- Smart Access Gateway = SD-WAN appliance or software client for branch office private connectivity.
- Security groups are stateful; Network ACLs are stateless. Apply both for defense-in-depth.
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-network-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic (22 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 660 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.
