Infrastructure Code Review and Hardening
Harden infrastructure code with expert security and compliance reviews
What You Can Do
Get comprehensive security and compliance analysis of your infrastructure-as-code across Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, and other IaC formats. Claude identifies security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, performance inefficiencies, and cost optimizations while ensuring your infrastructure follows industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
Features
Identifies misconfigurations, exposed credentials, overly permissive policies, and network exposure risks
Checks against CIS benchmarks, NIST, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and custom regulatory requirements
Spots wasteful resource configurations, oversized instances, and unused services
Validates naming conventions, tagging strategies, resource organization, and cloud-native patterns
Suggests improvements for scalability, availability, and infrastructure resilience
Documents resource relationships and validates data flow security boundaries
Evaluates IaC readiness for cloud platform transitions or major upgrades
Creates guardrails as code (OPA, Sentinel) to prevent future misconfigurations
Example Output
Security Review Output:
- ⚠️ CRITICAL: S3 bucket policy allows public read access
Location: main.tf:45
Impact: Potential data exposure
Fix: Add BucketBlockPublicAccess or restrict Principal
- ⚠️ HIGH: RDS database not encrypted at rest
Location: prod-db.tf:12
Recommendation: Enable KmsKeyId and StorageEncrypted = true
✓ PASS: Security group implements least-privilege rules
✓ PASS: All EC2 instances have IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance Report:
CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark: 14/20 controls passing (70%)
- Missing: CloudTrail encryption, S3 versioning
- Recommend: Enable CloudWatch alarms for root account usage
SOC 2 Type II: 8/10 controls satisfied
- Network: Firewall rules properly segmented ✓
- Access Control: IAM policies need least-privilege review

You can systematically diagnose database performance bottlenecks by sharing your schema, slow query logs, and execution plans with Claude. It identifies root causes—missing indexes, inefficient joins, lock contention—and provides prioritized recommendations with ready-to-implement SQL. Skip the manual log analysis and get tuning strategies tailored to your workload.
Use Claude to systematically analyze your database queries, execution plans, and schema to identify performance bottlenecks. The skill generates actionable optimization recommendations with SQL rewrites, index strategies, and configuration tuning. You'll receive detailed before-and-after performance analysis to validate improvements and prioritize work by impact.
Rapidly analyze firmware logs and diagnose hardware issues that cause device failures, connectivity problems, and performance degradation. You'll identify root causes from stack traces, crash dumps, and sensor data, then generate specific optimization recommendations. This skill transforms raw device logs into actionable debugging plans that reduce time-to-resolution from hours to minutes.
You can switch your Kurtosis runtime between Docker and Kubernetes backends, check which cluster is currently active, and list all available clusters. This skill helps you manage where Kurtosis deploys and runs enclaves, whether on local Docker or a remote Kubernetes cluster, with automated engine restart and gateway configuration for Kubernetes environments.
You'll develop systematic approaches to injectable formulation design, from API selection through sterilization strategy. Claude helps you troubleshoot failed batches by analyzing root causes, recommends regulatory pathways (505(b)(2), ANDA, NDA), and provides science-backed solutions for stability, compatibility, and manufacturability challenges.
You'll design and implement mobile features with architectural rigor, cross-platform considerations, and edge-case handling built-in. This skill generates complete system designs, platform-specific implementation strategies, performance optimization approaches, and testing frameworks. The output is production-ready guidance spanning iOS and Android with security, offline resilience, and deployment strategies included.
Claude analyzes your code diffs and generates standardized commit messages that follow the Conventional Commits specification. The skill automatically determines the correct commit type, scope, and description based on the changes you've made, ensuring your messages are parseable by automation tools while remaining human-readable for code reviewers.
You can architect multi-node ROS control systems from scratch, including node design patterns, communication flows, and real-time constraints. You'll debug complex node interactions using publisher/subscriber analysis, service call tracing, and action server diagnostics. You can optimize motion controllers through PID tuning, trajectory planning validation, and performance profiling to achieve precise, responsive robotic behavior.
