Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned borghei/claude-skills at 4a698e8d07.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill assists users in designing scalable and cost-effective AWS architectures, particularly for startups. It guides you through a workflow to gather requirements, select from recommended architectural patterns (like Serverless Web or Three-Tier), generate infrastructure-as-code templates using tools like CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform, analyze costs, and deploy the resulting infrastructure. The skill provides recommendations for cost optimization and savings plans.

When to use it

  • You're a startup needing help designing your AWS cloud infrastructure.
  • You want to create infrastructure-as-code templates for deploying applications on AWS.
  • You need assistance with selecting appropriate AWS services for different application types (web apps, data pipelines, microservices).
  • You are looking for ways to reduce and optimize your AWS spending.
  • You're migrating an existing application to AWS.

Key capabilities

  • Architecture Design Recommendations: Suggests architectural patterns based on provided requirements.
  • Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Generation: Creates CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform templates for deployment.
  • Cost Optimization Analysis: Provides cost breakdowns, right-sizing recommendations, and Savings Plans opportunities.
  • Support for Various AWS Services: Covers services like Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Aurora, ECS, Fargate, EKS, CloudWatch, and more.
  • Deployment Assistance: Provides commands for deploying infrastructure using CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform.

Example prompts

  • "I'm building a serverless web application; what architecture do you recommend?"
  • "Generate a CloudFormation template for a three-tier application with an Aurora database."
  • "Analyze the cost of my current AWS setup and suggest ways to optimize spending, aiming for a $2000 monthly budget."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill requires detailed input regarding application specifications like expected users, budget constraints, team size, and compliance requirements.
  • Familiarity with basic AWS concepts and command-line tools (like aws cloudformation) is helpful for deployment.
  • Refer to the "architecture_patterns.md" file for more details on recommended architectural patterns.
