cloud-deploy-gate

cloud-deploy-gate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zorost/AI-Engineering-Lab. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,052 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for deploying AI models, retrieval-augmented applications, or agents to managed cloud platforms such as Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, and AWS Bedrock. It checks evaluation results, spending limits, safety controls, and ownership before deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before or during cloud deployment to move evaluations and traces, compare cloud and local results, set billing alerts, enable safety controls, and name an owner.
Why use it?
It prevents a locally tested system from becoming an unbudgeted, unprotected, or ownerless cloud service.

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

cloud-deploy-gate 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 4d 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.

Cloud Deploy Gate

1 · Purpose

Make "deploy to the cloud platform" a checklist with an owner, so the same agent that passed locally cannot become an unbudgeted, unguarded, unowned cloud workload.

2 · When to use

  • Before deploying any model endpoint, RAG app, or agent to Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, or Databricks Model Serving.
  • When a cloud deployment already exists and nobody can answer the gate questions.

3 · Inputs

  • The working local artifact with its eval scores and traces.
  • The target platform account with billing access visible.
  • The spec's refused tradeoffs (they now become platform settings).

4 · Procedure

  1. Pack the evals. The golden set and scorer travel with the deployment. First action in the cloud: re-run the eval there. The cloud score must match the local score within noise before anything else proceeds.
  2. Set the budget alarm before the first request. Every platform has billing alerts; set one at the week's number (e.g. $25) and one at the panic number (e.g. $100). An unbudgeted experiment is how tutorials become invoices.
  3. Turn on the platform guardrails mapped to the spec. Foundry content filters, Bedrock Guardrails, Vertex safety settings, map each refused tradeoff to its setting, in writing.
  4. Pin the model version. Deploy an explicit model version/ARN, not "latest". Record it in the spec.
  5. Scope the credentials. A dedicated service account / managed identity with least privilege: only the data sources this deployment reads. No personal credentials in any deployment.
  6. Enable logging and tracing at the platform level (invocation logs, prompt/ response logging where policy allows) and verify one request shows up end-to-end.
  7. Smoke-test the four failure modes: empty retrieval, over-long input, rate-limit, and guardrail block. Each must produce the designed response, not a stack trace.
  8. Name the owner in the deployment description/tag: the human who gets the budget and guardrail alerts. No orphan deployments.
  9. Write the teardown commands before leaving the page, delete endpoint, release resources, revoke credentials. A training deployment lives exactly as long as its exercise unless its owner says otherwise.

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.
