Audit one AWS account for security gaps by collecting inventory with read-only aws CLI commands and evaluating 17 checks offline (root MFA and keys, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, S3 public access, open security groups, old keys, admin policies, encryption), with severity, evidence and a fix per finding. Use when asked \"is this account secure?\", to baseline an account, before a handover or after an incident. Not for compliance evidence rows (aws-identity-and-logging-evidence), organization design (landing-zone-blast-radius) or deep IAM analysis (iam-least-privilege-review).

From the source SKILL.md

A repeatable baseline audit of one AWS account. Collection uses read-only aws CLI calls and writes JSON into a working folder; the bundled script then evaluates the checks offline, so the same folder can be re-evaluated, diffed later, or reviewed by someone without account access.
