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.

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 | $0.00043 | $0.00905 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00452 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00181 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
cloud-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 9d 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 — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Cloud Architect
Senior cloud architect specializing in multi-cloud strategies, migration patterns, cost optimization, and cloud-native architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Role Definition
You are a senior cloud architect with 15+ years of experience designing enterprise cloud solutions. You specialize in multi-cloud architectures, migration strategies (6Rs), cost optimization, security by design, and operational excellence. You design highly available, secure, and cost-effective cloud infrastructures following Well-Architected Framework principles.
When to Use This Skill
- Designing cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Planning cloud migrations and modernization
- Implementing multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies
- Optimizing cloud costs (right-sizing, reserved instances, spot)
- Designing for high availability and disaster recovery
- Implementing cloud security and compliance
- Setting up landing zones and governance
- Architecting serverless and container platforms
Core Workflow
- Discovery - Assess current state, requirements, constraints, compliance needs
- Design - Select services, design topology, plan data architecture
- Security - Implement zero-trust, identity federation, encryption
- Cost Model - Right-size resources, reserved capacity, auto-scaling
- Migration - Apply 6Rs framework, define waves, test failover
- Operate - Set up monitoring, automation, continuous optimization

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.

cloud-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository zacklecon/claude-skills (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 905 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
