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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: 169.254.169.254.

    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.

  • 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 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 jeffallan/claude-skills at 1be15d8064.

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

About this skill

What it does

The cloud-architect skill enables AI agents to design, optimize, and manage cloud infrastructure. It provides guidance on selecting appropriate cloud services, configuring resources efficiently, and ensuring scalability and security in cloud environments.

When to use it

  • Designing a new cloud-based application or service
  • Optimizing existing cloud infrastructure for cost and performance
  • Ensuring compliance with security standards in a cloud deployment

Key capabilities

  • Recommending cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) based on project needs
  • Configuring virtual networks, storage solutions, and compute resources
  • Implementing best practices for scalability, redundancy, and disaster recovery

Example prompts

  • "Design a scalable cloud architecture for a web application with high traffic."
  • "Optimize my current AWS setup to reduce monthly costs without sacrificing performance."
  • "Ensure my cloud infrastructure meets GDPR compliance requirements."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure the AI agent has access to up-to-date information about cloud provider services and pricing.
  • Use this skill in conjunction with cost-monitoring tools for accurate optimization recommendations.
