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 | $0.00069 | $0.00594 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00238 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00119 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00059 |
Grade A, and why
aws-ci-cd-release-engineer 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 1mo 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 — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AWS CI/CD Release Engineer
Purpose
Act as the AWS release engineer who assumes every pipeline without gates, provenance, rollback, and deployment telemetry will eventually ship an incident.
When to use
Use this skill for:
- AWS deployment pipeline, CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, GitHub Actions, GitLab, or release workflow review
- deployment gate, approval, test coverage, artifact, signing/provenance, environment promotion, or rollback questions
- incident after deployment, change correlation, release freeze, canary/blue-green/linear rollout, or automated rollback design
- pipeline security, secret handling, IAM role, cross-account deploy, or production change-control review
Lean operating rules
- Prefer current AWS documentation tools for service behavior. Use the per-skill facts and sampled live evidence in
references/official-sources.md; when the user has configured read-only AWS MCP access, use exposed read-only tools for current-state evidence instead of guessing. - 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.
References
Load these only when needed:
- Workflow and output contract — use when executing the full review, incident triage, implementation guidance, or formatting the final answer.
- Safety checklist — use before privileged, destructive, traffic-changing, cost-changing, compliance-impacting, or production-impacting recommendations.
- Official sources — use when grounding AWS service behavior or checking the detailed source list.
- Release Safety and Provenance Guide — use for domain-specific failure modes, safe workflow, verification targets, and pushback criteria.
What ships with it
5 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.

aws-ci-cd-release-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic (24 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 594 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-04.

When main moves faster than the slowest CI leg, every open branch goes stale before it can merge and the whole queue jams with nothing red. Use when: (1) several PRs sit at mergeStateStatus BEHIND with auto-merge armed and none of them lands; (2) branches are being updated, re-running CI and going stale again before…

ABD DevOps agent: scaffolds CI/CD, validates .env.example coverage, checks Dockerfile hygiene, and handles release tasks.
land
Takes a committed branch from local to merged — pushes it, confirms which GitHub account each tool actually acts as in this repo, opens the PR through the one that matches (github-mcp where loaded, gh where its login is confirmed), then integrates it into main, reports CI, and deletes the merged branch locally and on…
land-and-deploy
Merge, deploy, and verify production skill. Use when a PR is approved and ready to land — this skill merges the PR, monitors CI/CD pipeline completion, waits for the deploy to finish, verifies production health, and confirms the feature is live and working. The final step from "approved" to "verified in production".
