Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
cloud-security-configuration
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to generate secure, production-ready configurations for major cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It automatically applies industry best practices to ensure infrastructure-as-code templates are hardened against common vulnerabilities before deployment.
When to use it
- Infrastructure Initialization: Creating initial Terraform or CloudFormation stacks that require strict security baselines from day one.
- Compliance Audits: Generating configurations that meet specific regulatory standards like SOC2, HIPAA, or GDPR requirements.
- DevSecOps Pipelines: Integrating secure configuration generation directly into CI/CD workflows to prevent misconfigurations in production.
- Multi-Cloud Strategy: Ensuring consistent security policies are applied across heterogeneous cloud environments simultaneously.
Key capabilities
- Generates compliant infrastructure-as-code templates for AWS, Azure, and GCP.
- Applies industry-standard security hardening rules automatically.
- Produces ready-to-deploy configurations that reduce manual review time.
- Focuses on preventing common cloud misconfiguration risks.
Example prompts
- "Generate a secure Terraform configuration for an AWS VPC with private subnets and strict NACLs."
- "Create a GCP Cloud IAM policy that follows the principle of least privilege for a data engineering service account."
- "Produce an Azure Resource Manager template for a Kubernetes cluster with network policies enabled and no public endpoints."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you specify the target cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP) explicitly in your prompt to receive relevant syntax. While this skill generates secure defaults, always validate outputs against your organization's specific internal compliance rules before applying them to live environments.
