How does it handle cost estimation?

The skill utilizes a built-in cost estimation guide for common AWS services to provide monthly projected costs based on storage, requests, and compute usage defined in the design.

Does this skill generate actual Terraform code?

This skill creates the high-level architectural design and technical blueprints. These documents are designed to be consumed by an infrastructure engineer or an automated Terraform generator to create the final code.

What cloud providers does this skill support?

This skill is specifically optimized for AWS (Amazon Web Services), providing detailed configurations for services like S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and CloudFront.

Can it design for security and compliance?

Yes, security is a core design principle. The skill automatically includes IAM least-privilege policies, encryption settings (at rest and in transit), and network isolation strategies in every design.

Cloud Infrastructure

Design comprehensive cloud infrastructure solutions for AWS with detailed resource specifications, cost estimates, and security-first blueprints.

About

The Infrastructure Architect skill empowers Claude to act as a senior cloud architect, transforming feature requirements into production-ready AWS designs. It meticulously analyzes technical needs to select the optimal combination of services—such as Lambda, DynamoDB, and S3—while adhering to the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Each design includes detailed resource specifications, security considerations like IAM and encryption, and accurate monthly cost estimates, providing a clear implementation blueprint that bridges the gap between feature requests and Terraform automation.

Key Features

Alignment with AWS Well-Architected Framework for reliability and performance
Automated AWS architecture design based on specific feature requirements
Generation of actionable blueprints for infrastructure-as-code implementation
Monthly cost estimation for all proposed cloud resources
Comprehensive design documentation with resource specs and security protocols
2 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Designing secure file storage and global delivery systems with S3 and CloudFront
Architecting serverless API backends using API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB
Planning cost-optimized data processing pipelines using SQS and Step Functions
