Description
Design an interruption-resilient EC2 Spot instance strategy with fallback configurations
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and appropriate for designing Spot strategies. Before sharing data: verify any pasted CLI/console output contains no access keys or secrets (the skill requests only read-only outputs), consider redacting tags, account IDs, private IPs, or other identifiers if you are uncomfortable sharing them, and provide the minimum necessary data (a sample of instances or a summary) rather than full dumps when possible. If you prefer, run the AWS CLI locally and paste only the specific JSON blocks the skill requests. The skill’s explicit rule to never ask for credentials is good — don't provide keys or secret values under any circumstances.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: spot-strategy
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It explicitly states it is 'instruction-only' and 'does not execute any AWS CLI commands or access your AWS account directly'. It provides clear guardrails for the AI agent, instructing it to 'Never ask for credentials, access keys, or secret keys' and to 'confirm no credentials are included before processing' user-provided data. The example AWS CLI commands in SKILL.md are read-only and intended for the user to execute and provide output, not for the agent to run. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description ask for Spot strategy design and the SKILL.md only requests EC2 inventory, ASG config, and cost data — all are expected inputs for this purpose. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
The skill asks users to paste AWS CLI/console output (describe-instances, ASG, cost reports). This is appropriate for analysis but may include sensitive metadata (account IDs, instance IDs, private IPs, tags, AMI IDs). The SKILL.md explicitly forbids asking for credentials and asks to confirm no credentials are included before processing — that's good practice.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files; nothing is written to disk or downloaded.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The SKILL.md recommends only read-only CLI outputs and provides a minimal read-only IAM policy for those who want to run the commands themselves.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent/always-on presence (always:false) and does not ask to modify other skills or system settings. Model invocation is allowed (default), which is normal for skills and acceptable here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install spot-strategy - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/spot-strategy - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
aws-spot-strategy 1.0.0 — Initial Release
- Provides a guided workflow to design interruption-resilient AWS EC2 Spot instance strategies using exported data.
- Analyzes EC2 inventory, Auto Scaling configs, and cost breakdowns to recommend Spot, On-Demand, and Savings Plan mixtures.
- Outputs eligibility matrix, Spot fleet recommendation, interruption risk table, and fallback architecture.
- Generates Karpenter NodePool YAML if EKS is detected.
- Emphasizes security by requiring only exported data, not credentials or direct AWS access.
- Flags stateful workloads as not Spot-safe and enforces best practices such as family diversification and interruption handling.
