Description
cloud-architect is an agent skill from the jeffallan claude-skills collection that helps a coding agent design cloud architectures across AWS, Azure and other providers, plan migrations, recommend cost optimisations and produce disaster recovery strategies. Its workflow has six stages. Discovery assesses the current state, requirements, constraints and compliance needs. Design selects services, plans the topology and the data architecture. Security adds zero-trust networking, identity federation and encryption. The cost model right-sizes resources, weighs reserved capacity and sets up auto-scaling. Migration applies the 6Rs framework, defines waves and validates connectivity before cutover. Operations sets up monitoring, automation and continuous optimisation. The skill includes validation checkpoints, such as confirming after the design stage that every component has a redundancy strategy and that the topology has no single point of failure. It is useful for teams planning a move to the cloud or reviewing an existing architecture. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts and GitHub stars for the collection. Its security audit from Gen Agent Trust Hub is marked as failing, which is noted in the FAQ, while Socket and Snyk pass. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/jeffallan/claude-skills --skill cloud-architect.…
