Live repository

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 simulates a Senior Cloud Architect, providing expert guidance on designing and optimizing cloud infrastructure across AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Azure. It helps users analyze costs, validate disaster recovery procedures, audit security posture, and generate resource inventories. The skill leverages Python scripts to perform these tasks and offers example architectures for production environments.

When to use it

  • You need help designing a scalable and cost-effective cloud infrastructure.
  • You want to optimize your existing cloud spend and identify areas for improvement.
  • You require assistance with validating disaster recovery plans and ensuring business continuity.
  • You're looking for guidance on improving the security posture of your cloud environment.
  • You need a comprehensive inventory of all resources deployed across multiple accounts and regions.

Key capabilities

  • Cloud Architecture Design: Provides expertise in designing infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
  • Cost Analysis: Analyzes cloud spend by service, environment, and tag using cost_analyzer.py.
  • Disaster Recovery Validation: Validates failover procedures with dr_test.py.
  • Security Auditing: Performs security audits against CIS benchmarks and compliance frameworks using security_audit.py.
  • Resource Inventory: Generates a complete inventory of resources across accounts and regions using inventory.py.
  • Terraform Integration: Demonstrates infrastructure provisioning with Terraform (example provided for AWS VPC).

Example prompts

  • "Design a production-ready architecture on AWS for an e-commerce application."
  • "How can I optimize my cloud costs in GCP?"
  • "Run a security audit against CIS benchmarks and generate a report."
  • "What are the key differences between EC2, GCE, and Azure VMs?"

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill relies on Python scripts for analysis and validation. Ensure you have Python installed to utilize these features.
  • The provided Terraform example is specific to AWS; adapting it for GCP or Azure will require modifications.
  • Security audits are performed against CIS benchmarks, which may not cover all compliance requirements.
