What it does

Atmos AWS Compliance is an agent skill from cloudposse/atmos. AWS compliance commands in Atmos: atmos aws compliance report, Security Hub standards, CIS AWS, PCI DSS, SOC2, HIPAA, NIST, report formats, AI summaries

Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Healthcare and finance regulation and SOC 2 and security compliance. It works with Amazon Web Services. The repository describes itself as: Atmos is the open-source runtime for infrastructure — it builds, authenticates, and ships Terraform, OpenTofu, Packer, Ansible, Kubernetes, Helm, and containers the same way on… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Healthcare and finance regulation
  • Tasks that involve SOC 2 and security compliance

Example prompts

  • “/atmos-aws-compliance”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 110e139. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and yaml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Atmos AWS Compliance loads about 679 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 246 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~679

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.

Atmos AWS Compliance

Use this skill for compliance posture reporting through AWS Security Hub. It owns atmos aws compliance report.

Command Model

atmos aws compliance report retrieves enabled Security Hub standard controls, maps failing controls to Atmos stacks/components where possible, and writes reports for humans or automation.

shell
atmos aws compliance report --framework cis-aws --stack prod-us-east-1
atmos aws compliance report --framework pci-dss --format json --file compliance.json
atmos aws compliance report --controls CIS.1.1,CIS.1.2 --format markdown
atmos aws compliance report --ai

Supported report formats are markdown, json, yaml, and csv.

Configuration

Configure defaults in atmos.yaml under aws.security. Route identity setup to atmos-auth.

yaml
aws:
  security:
    enabled: true
    identity: security-readonly
    region: us-east-2
    frameworks:
      - cis-aws
      - pci-dss

Use --identity to override the configured identity for a run.

Frameworks

FrameworkUse
cis-awsCIS AWS Foundations Benchmark
pci-dssPayment Card Industry Data Security Standard
soc2SOC 2 trust service criteria
hipaaHIPAA controls for protected health information
nistNIST 800-53 controls

Agent Guidance

  • Prefer --framework for targeted checks. Omit it only when the user explicitly wants all enabled frameworks.
  • Use --stack when the report should map compliance status to a specific Atmos stack.
  • Use --format json or --format yaml for automation and CI gates; use markdown for human reports.
  • Use --file for durable artifacts. Parent directories are created by the command.
  • Use --ai only when the user asks for AI-generated summary or remediation guidance.
  • For detailed per-finding remediation output, route to atmos-aws-security.
  • Do not invent compliance mappings. If component mapping is missing or low-confidence, say so and use Atmos introspection before proposing component changes.
