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 bagelhole/devops-security-agent-skills at 0365f57a07.

    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 allows an AI agent to interact with AWS CloudFormation, enabling the creation and management of infrastructure as code. It can generate CloudFormation templates based on natural language descriptions, validate existing templates for errors, and apply changes to deployed stacks. The skill aims to simplify cloud resource provisioning and configuration through automation.

When to use it

  • Automated Infrastructure Creation: Quickly deploy new environments or resources without manual scripting.
  • Template Validation: Identify syntax errors and potential issues in CloudFormation templates before deployment.
  • Stack Updates: Modify existing infrastructure by applying changes described in natural language.
  • Troubleshooting Deployments: Diagnose problems during CloudFormation stack creation or updates.

Key capabilities

  • CloudFormation template generation from text descriptions
  • Template validation and error checking
  • Applying changes to deployed stacks
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) management

Example prompts

  • "Create a CloudFormation template for an EC2 instance with 16GB of memory."
  • "Validate this CloudFormation template: [paste template content]"
  • "Update my existing CloudFormation stack to increase the size of the database server."

Tips & gotchas

The agent requires appropriate AWS credentials and permissions to interact with CloudFormation. Complex infrastructure requests may require iterative refinement of prompts for optimal results.
