# Gofer Cloud

## Token And Cost Policy
<!-- gofer:token-cost-policy:start -->

Before spawning agents, calling tools, or loading large files:

1. Treat `.specify/memory/gofer-model-policy.yaml` as the repo-owned source of truth for simple, medium, hard, and arbiter model routing. If it is missing, run `/gofer:bootstrap-workspace` before continuing.
2. Use the cheapest capable model first.
   - Claude: Haiku for scouting/extraction; Sonnet for normal implementation, synthesis, validation, and security; Opus for high-risk arbitration or release-critical failures.
   - Codex/OpenAI: GPT mini for simple coding; GPT nano only for locate/classify/summarize/mechanical work; GPT-5.3-Codex or flagship GPT for tool-heavy coding, architecture, and release-critical validation.
   - Gemini: Flash-Lite for cheap large-context scan/summarize; Flash for default research synthesis; Pro for large-context architecture or high-risk arbitration.
   - Copilot: prefer Auto for simple and default work; ask the user before choosing a paid/high-tier picker model for hard security, architecture, or release gates.
3. Keep raw tool output out of the main conversation context. Save stable findings to `.specify/specs/{feature}/context-bundle.md`, then work from summaries.
4. Use provider prompt/context caching only for stable, non-secret prefixes: Gofer scaffold, AGENTS/CLAUDE/Copilot instructions, constitution, repo map, stage contracts, and validation rubric.
5. Before continuing after large research, planning, implementation, or validation bursts, checkpoint the durable artifacts and compact/clear/resume context when the host supports it.
6. Escalate model tier only when a cheaper pass is low-confidence, contradictory, security-sensitive, or blocking release quality.

## User Input

```text
$ARGUMENTS
```

You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

---

## SAFETY NOTICE

**This command only executes READ-ONLY cloud CLI operations.**

All commands are safe inspection operations that do not modify any cloud
resources. This is critical for agentic coding - agents must never accidentally
modify production infrastructure.

---

## When to Use This Command

- Understanding deployment architecture before feature work
- Analyzing costs and optimization opportunities
- Security and compliance audits
- Performance analysis
- Documenting existing infrastructure
- Planning infrastructure changes

---

## Step 1: Initial Setup

Ask the user:

```
I'm ready to analyze your cloud infrastructure. Please specify:
1. Which cloud platform (Azure/AWS/GCP/other)
2. What aspect to focus on (or "all" for comprehensive analysis):
   - Resources and architecture
   - Security and compliance
   - Cost optimization
   - Performance and scaling
   - Specific services or resource groups
```

Wait for user response.

---

## Step 2: Verify Cloud CLI Access

### Azure

```bash
# Check CLI installed
az version

# Verify authentication
az account show

# List subscriptions
az account list --output table
```

### AWS

```bash
# Check CLI installed
aws --version

# Verify authentication
aws sts get-caller-identity

# List profiles
aws configure list-profiles
```

### GCP

```bash
# Check CLI installed
gcloud version

# Verify authentication
gcloud auth list

# List projects
gcloud projects list
```

If not authenticated, guide user through login process.

---

## Step 3: Execute Cloud Inspection (READ-ONLY)

### Allowed Operations (SAFE)

- `list`, `show`, `describe`, `get` operations
- View configurations and settings
- Read metrics and logs
- Query costs and billing (read-only)
- Inspect security settings (without modifying)

### Forbidden Operations (NEVER EXECUTE)

- Any command with: `create`, `delete`, `update`, `set`, `put`, `post`, `patch`,
  `remove`
- Starting/stopping services or resources
- Scaling operations
- Backup or restore operations
- IAM modifications
- Configuration changes

---

```

### 4.4 Security Analysis

**Azure:**

```bash
az role assignment list --output table
az keyvault list --output table
az network nsg rule list --nsg-name [name] --resource-group [rg]
```

**AWS:**

```bash
aws iam list-users
aws iam list-roles
aws kms list-keys
aws secretsmanager list-secrets
```

**GCP:**

```bash
gcloud iam roles list
gcloud kms keyrings list --location global
gcloud secrets list
```

### 4.5 Cost Analysis

**Azure:**

```bash
az consumption usage list --start-date [date] --end-date [date]
az advisor recommendation list --category Cost
```

**AWS:**

```bash
aws ce get-cost-and-usage --time-period Start=[date],End=[date] --granularity MONTHLY --metrics BlendedCost
aws ce get-reservation-utilization --time-period Start=[date],End=[date]
```

**GCP:**

```bash
gcloud billing accounts list
gcloud recommender recommendations list --project=[project] --location=global --recommender=google.compute.instance.MachineTypeRecommender
```

## Observability Logging

```bash
.specify/scripts/bash/log-stage.sh 10_cloud --complete --tokens [N] --compactions [N]
````

---

## Key Rules

- **READ-ONLY OPERATIONS ONLY** - never create, modify, or delete
- **Always verify CLI authentication** before running commands
- **Use --output json** for structured data parsing
- **Handle API rate limits** by spacing requests
- **Respect security** - never expose sensitive data in reports
- **Generate actionable insights**, not just resource lists
