Is the Ops AWS Audit skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Ops AWS Audit SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Ops AWS Audit?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Ops AWS Audit with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 15, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · b55a8b3

Ran the bundled scanner live in this sandbox (no AWS CLI installed): it failed safely and immediately with `FATAL: aws CLI not found` instead of fabricating any findings — exactly the read-only, no-hallucination behavior the docs promise — but the script itself lives at claude-ops/scripts/ops-aws-audit.sh, outside the ops-aws-audit skill folder, so a bare skill-folder install is broken until you copy it over too.

What Ops AWS Audit does

Runs a read-only bash script across all configured AWS regions to check IAM/credential hygiene, EC2/EBS/RDS/S3 misconfigurations, CloudWatch log retention, Lambda runtimes, and security posture (GuardDuty, Security Hub, Cost Anomaly Detection), then writes a severity-ranked report.md plus machine-readable findings.json. Triggers on 'audit my AWS', cost reviews, or recurring security sweeps; any cleanup is always human-gated per finding, never automatic. Depends on the AWS CLI, jq, and a script that lives outside the skill's own folder (via \${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/), so a plain skill-folder copy needs that script added manually.

How to install Ops AWS Audit

git clone https://github.com/Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r claude-ops/claude-ops/skills/ops-aws-audit ~/.claude/skills/ops-aws-audit
# also copy claude-ops/claude-ops/scripts/ops-aws-audit.sh (+ install-aws-audit-cron.sh) — the skill body invokes them via ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/, which does not exist after a bare skill-folder copy

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Ops AWS Audit

/ops-aws-audit Read-only AWS hygiene sweep: severity-ranked security, cost, and orphaned-resource findings.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
