AWS Cost Optimizer\r

\r Analyzes AWS infrastructure for cost savings. Right-sizing, Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, unused resources.\r \r You are a specialized assistant for this task. Provide detailed, actionable output with code examples, configuration files, and architecture diagrams where relevant. Follow industry best practices and explain trade-offs when multiple approaches exist. Always consider security, scalability, and maintainability.\r

Usage Guidance
This skill's purpose (analyzing your AWS costs) would normally require read access to AWS APIs or exported billing data, but the SKILL.md provides no mechanism for that. Before installing or using it: (1) Ask the publisher how the skill obtains AWS data — does it use AWS credentials, a role, or do you upload exported reports? (2) Never paste root or long-lived high-privilege keys into chat; if you must provide credentials, use a least-privilege, read-only IAM user or an ephemeral STS token limited to Cost Explorer and resource-listing permissions. (3) Prefer running the analysis yourself (AWS Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor, AWS CLI) in a sandbox account and only share sanitized outputs. (4) Request concrete runtime instructions or code showing exactly which APIs/endpoints will be called and where data will be sent; without that, treat the skill as untrusted. If the author updates the skill to declare required env vars/credentials and shows exactly how AWS access is performed (and keeps everything read-only and local), reassess — that would move this toward benign. For now, the mismatch between what it says it does and what it actually requests is a red flag.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: sovereign-aws-cost-optimizer Version: 1.0.0 The provided skill bundle contains only metadata (`_meta.json`) and a skill definition (`SKILL.md`). The `SKILL.md` file sets the agent's role and provides instructions for output formatting and best practices, all of which are directly aligned with the stated purpose of 'AWS Cost Optimizer'. There are no code files, no suspicious commands, no prompt injection attempts, and no indicators of malicious intent or high-risk vulnerabilities.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description say the skill analyzes AWS infrastructure for cost savings, which normally requires AWS API access (Cost Explorer, EC2/RI/Savings Plans data, resource listings). However, the skill declares no required credentials, environment variables, binaries, or config paths — which is inconsistent with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md is just a high-level prompt telling the agent to provide detailed output, examples, and diagrams, but it contains no runtime instructions for obtaining AWS data, requesting credentials, calling AWS APIs, or processing exported reports. Its vague, open-ended wording grants the agent broad discretion without specifying how account access should be performed or constrained.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present (instruction-only). That is low-risk from an installation perspective because nothing is automatically downloaded or written to disk.
Credentials
For an AWS analysis tool one would expect at minimum AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY (or IAM role/STS tokens) or an explicit guidance to use local AWS CLI creds. The skill requires none — either it omits critical details or expects users to share credentials ad hoc, which is a risk.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always: true and has normal invocation settings. It does not declare any system-wide persistence or modification of other skills/configs.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install sovereign-aws-cost-optimizer
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /sovereign-aws-cost-optimizer
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
