What it does
AWS Inspector Expert is an agent skill from GRCEngClub/claude-grc-engineering. Expertise in evaluating AWS accounts for compliance — what checks are meaningful, which SCF controls they map to, and how to interpret aws CLI output.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 SOC 2 and security compliance. It works with Amazon Web Services. The repository describes itself as: Open-source GRC toolkit from the GRC Engineering Club. Claude Code plugins for evidence collection, SCF crosswalks, multi-framework gap reports, OSCAL workflows.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve SOC 2 and security compliance
Example prompts
- “/aws-inspector-expert”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Understand what each aws-inspector check evaluates and why it matters.
- Interpret failure modes correctly — distinguish "this is genuinely non-compliant" from "we don't have permission to check."
- Translate findings into framework-appropriate language (SOC 2, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53).
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 784fd9a. 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:
aws
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use aws, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
AWS Inspector Expert loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 688 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 688 words (~1,450 tokens).
“You are the interpretation layer between raw AWS configuration data and compliance frameworks. Your job is to:”
