What it does
Ops AWS Audit is an agent skill from Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops. OPS on-demand: This skill should be used when the user asks to "audit AWS", "unused AWS resources", or…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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: Business operating system for Claude Code — 57 skills, 21 agents, smart daemon. Unified inbox (WhatsApp/Email/Slack/Telegram), autonomous PR merge, full-AWS monitoring, revenue… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asks to audit AWS
- Unused AWS resources
Example prompts
- “audit AWS”
- “unused AWS resources”
- “/ops-aws-audit”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, AskUserQuestion, WebSearch, WebFetch
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Show the user the specific finding(s) and the exact aws command(s).
- Get explicit per-batch approval (ok / yes / proceed).
- For any deletion/rotation, snapshot state first; log resource IDs after.
- Root access keys can only be removed from a root console login — flag it,
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee9c784. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadGrepGlobAskUserQuestionWebSearchWebFetch
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bashclaude
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
Ops AWS Audit loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, AskUserQuestion, WebSearch, WebFetch
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.

What this does
Runs scripts/ops-aws-audit.sh — a read-only sweep that never mutates AWS.
It inventories and analyses, then writes a severity-ranked report.
Checks include (2026 baseline):
- IAM / credentials — root access key + root MFA, access keys older than
AUDIT_KEY_AGE_DAYS(default 90), console users without MFA, and whether an IAM Access Analyzer (UNUSED_ACCESS) is configured. - EC2 / EBS — unattached volumes,
gp2→gp3candidates, unencrypted volumes, unassociated Elastic IPs, security groups open to0.0.0.0/0on SSH/RDP. - RDS — unencrypted or publicly-accessible instances, and orphaned manual snapshots whose source DB no longer exists.
- S3 — account-level Block Public Access, per-bucket default encryption and lifecycle policies.
- CloudWatch Logs — log groups with no retention (billed forever).
- Lambda — deprecated/old runtimes.
- Security posture — GuardDuty, Security Hub standards, Cost Anomaly Detection monitors, Compute Optimizer enrollment.
- Cost — per-service Usage spend (
RECORD_TYPE=UsageUnblendedCost) over the lastAUDIT_COST_DAYSwith the Δ vs the prior window. Credits mask net CE totals to ≈ $0 — this audit never uses unfiltered Blended/Unblended nets as burn.
Configuration (env, all optional)
| Var | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
AUDIT_PROFILE | (unset) | Named AWS profile. Unset ⇒ standard chain (env keys / instance role / SSO). |
AUDIT_REGIONS | $AWS_REGION or us-east-1 | Comma-separated regions. |
AUDIT_OUTPUT_DIR | ~/.aws-audit-history/audit-<ts> | Where reports land. |
AUDIT_KEY_AGE_DAYS | 90 | Active access-key age threshold. |
AUDIT_COST_DAYS | 7 | Cost comparison window. |
How to run
# one region, current account
Load `ops-rules` before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If `AskUserQuestion` / `Workflow` are missing, follow Rule 10 in `ops-rules` (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; `delegate_task`).
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ops-aws-audit.sh"
# multi-region + named profile
AUDIT_PROFILE=prod AUDIT_REGIONS=us-east-1,eu-central-1 \
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ops-aws-audit.sh"Outputs in AUDIT_OUTPUT_DIR: report.md (human), findings.json
(machine), raw/ (per-service snapshots + cost-delta.tsv), audit.log.
After the run, read findings.json and summarise CRITICAL/HIGH first.
Recurring schedule
--schedule installs a daily systemd --user timer via
scripts/install-aws-audit-cron.sh (Linux; this box uses systemd, not launchd):
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/install-aws-audit-cron.sh"
systemctl --user list-timers ops-aws-audit.timerDispatch to the background fleet instead:
claude --bg --name aws-audit -- bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ops-aws-audit.sh" --quietCleanup is human-gated (never automatic)
This skill only audits. To act on a finding:
- Show the user the specific finding(s) and the exact
awscommand(s). - Get explicit per-batch approval (
ok/yes/proceed). - For any deletion/rotation, snapshot state first; log resource IDs after.
- Root access keys can only be removed from a root console login — flag it, do not attempt to "rotate root" from an IAM-user CLI session (that only rotates the IAM user's own key, not the root key).
