aws-cloudwatch-monitoringAWS CloudWatch metrics, alarms, dashboards, log insights, and application monitoring for the CIA platform
AWS Cloudwatch Monitoring is an agent skill from Hack23/cia. AWS CloudWatch metrics, alarms, dashboards, log insights, and application monitoring for the CIA platform
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 DevOps & Cloud. It works with Amazon Web Services. The repository describes itself as: Citizen Intelligence Agency. Open-source intelligence platform analyzing Swedish political activities using AI and data visualization. Tracks politicians, government… The licence is Apache-2.0.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 677b32c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are java, yaml, json and sql).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.aws.amazon.comgithub.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
AWS Cloudwatch Monitoring loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 326 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.
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.
The full file from Hack23/cia at commit 677b32c, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© Hack23). 326 words, ~1,914 tokens.

Ensures proactive detection of issues and compliance with monitoring requirements.

AWS CloudWatch metrics, alarms, dashboards, log insights, and application monitoring for the CIA platform. AWS Cloudwatch Monitoring is an agent skill from Hack23/cia.
AWS Cloudwatch Monitoring fits situations like: devOps & Cloud work in your project.
Run `npx skills add Hack23/cia --skill aws-cloudwatch-monitoring -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/skills/aws-cloudwatch-monitoring in Hack23/cia) into .claude/skills/aws-cloudwatch-monitoring in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add Hack23/cia --skill aws-cloudwatch-monitoring -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/skills/aws-cloudwatch-monitoring in Hack23/cia) into .agents/skills/aws-cloudwatch-monitoring in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Hack23/cia --skill aws-cloudwatch-monitoring -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/aws-cloudwatch-monitoring, .gemini/skills/aws-cloudwatch-monitoring, .github/skills/aws-cloudwatch-monitoring and .opencode/skills/aws-cloudwatch-monitoring in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: AWS Cloudwatch Monitoring is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: docs.aws.amazon.com and github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
AWS Cloudwatch Monitoring is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with AWS Cloudwatch Monitoring: Cloud Cost Optimization (wshobson/agents, 40k stars), Review Docs (hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws, 11k stars), AWS Cdk Development (zxkane/aws-skills, 367 stars) and Senior DevOps Toolkit (maslennikov-ig/claude-code-orchestrator-kit, 260 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Hack23 (a GitHub organization) maintains it in Hack23/cia, which has 239 GitHub stars. The repository holds 78 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 10, 2026.
