What it does
Iac Checkov is an agent skill from AgentSecOps/SecOpsAgentKit. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security scanning using Checkov with 750+ built-in policies for Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Dockerfile, and ARM templates. Use when: (1) Scanning IaC files for security misconfigurations and compliance violations, (2) Validating cloud infrastructure against CIS, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOC2 benchmarks, (3) Detecting secrets and hardcoded credentials in IaC, (4) Implementing policy-as-code in CI/CD pipelines, (5) Generating compliance reports with remediation guidance for cloud…
Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/checkov_config.yaml`, `assets/github_actions.yml` and `assets/gitlab_ci.yml`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Infrastructure as code and Healthcare and finance regulation. It works with AWS CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Terraform and Docker. The repository describes itself as: Security operations toolkit for AI coding agents. Give Claude Code 25+ skills to catch vulnerabilities, scan containers, detect secrets, and enforce policies automatically.
When your agent uses it
- Scanning IaC files for security misconfigurations and compliance violations
- Validating cloud infrastructure against CIS
- SOC2 benchmarks
- Detecting secrets and hardcoded credentials in IaC
Example prompts
- “/iac-checkov”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Docker
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Understand Scan Scope
- Run Basic Scan
- Filter and Prioritize Findings
- Suppress False Positives
- Create Custom Policies
- Generate Compliance Reports
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e25a4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pippython3brewdockerterraform
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
Also links to:
checkov.iocisecurity.orgterraform.iokubernetes.ioaws.amazon.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Iac Checkov loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 891 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 891 words (~4,587 tokens).
“Checkov is a static code analysis tool that scans Infrastructure as Code (IaC) files for security misconfigurations and compliance violations before deployment. With 750+ built-in policies, Checkov helps prevent cloud security issues by detecting problems in Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Dockerfiles…”
