What is aws-cloud-architect-free?
AWS Cloud Architect Free is one of the Openclaw Skills designed for fast, practical AWS architecture guidance in Chinese and English-friendly workflows.
It helps developers and teams make sensible service choices for MVP and early growth stages, inspect existing AWS resources in read-only mode, and spot common cost traps like NAT Gateway traffic, CloudWatch log retention, and idle load balancers. This skill is optimized for quick decision-making, minimal setup, and actionable AWS CLI output that can be used directly in planning or implementation.
Openclaw Skills like this are especially useful when you need lightweight cloud architecture advice without advanced migration frameworks, deep security hardening, or IaC generation.
aws-cloud-architect-free Use Cases
- You need a cost-conscious AWS architecture recommendation for an MVP or early-stage product.
- You want to inspect existing AWS resources such as VPC, EC2, and RDS using read-only commands.
- You need a quick service selection guide for static sites, APIs, databases, or caching layers.
- You want to identify common AWS cost traps before they inflate your monthly bill.
- You are validating region, account context, and existing infrastructure before making changes.
- You need a simple, developer-friendly AWS CLI reference without a complex consulting process.
- You want Openclaw Skills to support faster cloud planning with structured output and minimal friction.
How aws-cloud-architect-free Works
- The skill first validates the AWS account context with read-only checks such as
aws sts get-caller-identityand resource discovery commands. - It inspects the current infrastructure state, focusing on VPC, EC2, RDS, CloudWatch, and region-specific context.
- Based on your business size and use case, it recommends a cost-aware MVP or Growth architecture pattern.
- It maps common needs to foundational AWS services, such as S3 + CloudFront for static sites or Lambda + API Gateway for APIs.
- It highlights cost risks and operational pitfalls, including NAT Gateway usage, log retention, and idle load balancers.
- It returns structured, actionable guidance that can be followed directly in AWS CLI or used as input for the next planning step.
- Any destructive or modifying action requires explicit confirmation, and read-only behavior is the default in this Openclaw Skills workflow.
aws-cloud-architect-free Setup
Prerequisites
- An AI agent platform that supports SKILL.md-based skills, such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini CLI.
- AWS CLI installed and configured.
- Valid AWS credentials with access to the target account.
- Network access to AWS service endpoints.
Configure AWS CLI
aws configure --profile myproject
export AWS_PROFILE=myproject
aws sts get-caller-identity
aws ec2 describe-regions --query 'Regions[].RegionName'
Recommended environment checks
aws ec2 describe-vpcs --query 'Vpcs[].{ID:VpcId,CIDR:CidrBlock,Default:IsDefault}'
aws ec2 describe-instances --query 'Reservations[].Instances[].{ID:InstanceId,Type:InstanceType,State:State.Name}'
aws rds describe-db-instances --query 'DBInstances[].{ID:DBInstanceIdentifier,Class:DBInstanceClass,Engine:Engine}'
API key handling
If your agent runtime requires an API key, set it through an environment variable:
export API_KEY="${API_KEY:?Please set the environment variable}"
Usage notes
- Use read-only commands by default.
- Confirm any modifying action explicitly.
- Prefer
--dry-runwhenever available. - Re-open the session or restart the terminal after changing environment variables so Openclaw Skills picks up the new configuration.

The skill returns structured JSON with the following top-level shape:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| success | boolean | Indicates whether processing completed successfully |
| data.result | string | Main result payload |
| data.execution_time | string | Processing duration |

Resource taxonomy
Discovery scope
- AWS account identity
- Region context
- VPC inventory
- EC2 inventory
- RDS inventory
- CloudWatch log groups
Cost-risk taxonomy
| Category | Examples | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Network egress | NAT Gateway traffic, VPC endpoints | Can dramatically increase monthly spend |
| Logging retention | CloudWatch Logs default retention | Long retention silently adds cost |
| Idle infrastructure | Unused ALB, oversized instances | Wasteful operational spend |
| Public exposure | Public RDS accessibility | Security and compliance risk |
Supported command patterns
