Cloud Provider Detection Skill

Auto-detect AWS, GCP, or Azure usage with 95%+ accuracy using multi-signal analysis.

Quick Start

const { detectCloudProvider } = require('./detect-cloud-provider.js');

// Auto-detect cloud provider
const result = await detectCloudProvider('/path/to/project');

if (result.detected) {
  console.log(`Detected: ${result.name}`);
  console.log(`Confidence: ${(result.confidence * 100).toFixed(1)}%`);
  console.log(`Signals: ${result.signal_count}`);
}

// Manual override
const awsResult = await detectCloudProvider('/path/to/project', {
  provider: 'aws'
});

Detection Signals

Signal Types (Weighted)

1. Terraform (weight: 0.5) - Highest priority

   • Provider declarations: provider "aws", provider "google", provider "azurerm"
   • Resource types: aws_vpc, google_compute_instance, azurerm_storage_account

2. Package Manifests (weight: 0.3)

   • NPM: @aws-sdk/, @google-cloud/, @azure/
   • Python: boto3, google-cloud-*, azure-*

3. Config Files (weight: 0.3)

   • .aws/config, .gcloud/, .azure/
   • cloudformation.yml, cloudbuild.yaml, azuredeploy.json

4. CLI Scripts (weight: 0.2)

   • aws configure, gcloud compute, az vm
   • Command patterns in .sh files

5. Docker (weight: 0.2)

   • Base images: FROM public.ecr.aws, FROM gcr.io, FROM mcr.microsoft.com

Confidence Scoring

Base Score = Σ(detected_signals × signal_weight) / Σ(all_signal_weights)

Multi-Signal Boost:
  if (signal_count >= 3) {
    confidence += 0.2  // Up to maximum of 1.0
  }

Detection Threshold: ≥0.7 (70%)

CLI Usage

# Detect in current directory
node detect-cloud-provider.js

# Detect in specific project
node detect-cloud-provider.js /path/to/project

# Manual override
node detect-cloud-provider.js /path/to/project --provider aws

# Custom confidence threshold
node detect-cloud-provider.js /path/to/project --min-confidence 0.8

# Exit codes:
#   0 = Provider detected
#   1 = No provider detected
#   2 = Error occurred

Integration Examples

infrastructure-specialist Agent

# In agent YAML behavior section:

**Cloud Provider Detection**:
- **Auto-detect**: Run `node skills/cloud-provider-detector/detect-cloud-provider.js`
  at task start to identify AWS/GCP/Azure usage
- **Load Skills**: If AWS detected (≥70% confidence), load AWS cloud skill
- **Multi-cloud**: If multiple providers detected, load all relevant skills
- **Manual Override**: Accept `--cloud-provider` flag to bypass detection

Example Workflow

// 1. Detect cloud provider
const detection = await detectCloudProvider(projectPath);

// 2. Load appropriate skill
if (detection.detected) {
  if (detection.provider === 'aws') {
    await loadSkill('skills/aws-cloud/SKILL.md');
  } else if (detection.provider === 'gcp') {
    await loadSkill('skills/gcp-cloud/SKILL.md');
  } else if (detection.provider === 'azure') {
    await loadSkill('skills/azure-cloud/SKILL.md');
  }
}

// 3. Execute infrastructure tasks with cloud-specific knowledge

Detection Patterns

AWS Indicators

• Terraform: aws_vpc, aws_s3_bucket, aws_lambda_function
• NPM: @aws-sdk/client-s3, aws-cdk-lib
• Python: boto3, botocore
• CLI: aws configure, aws s3 sync
• Docker: FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs

GCP Indicators

• Terraform: google_compute_instance, google_storage_bucket
• NPM: @google-cloud/storage, googleapis
• Python: google-cloud-storage, google-api-python-client
• CLI: gcloud compute, gsutil cp
• Docker: FROM gcr.io/google-appengine/nodejs

Azure Indicators

• Terraform: azurerm_virtual_machine, azurerm_storage_account
• NPM: @azure/storage-blob, azure-functions-core-tools
• Python: azure-storage-blob, msrestazure
• CLI: az vm create, az storage account
• Docker: FROM mcr.microsoft.com/azure-functions/node

Performance

• Detection Time: <100ms for typical projects
• Accuracy: ≥95% on projects with clear cloud provider usage
• File Scanning: Optimized with glob patterns and ignore lists
• Memory: Low memory footprint with streaming file reads

Error Handling

try {
  const result = await detectCloudProvider(projectPath);
} catch (error) {
  if (error.code === 'ENOENT') {
    console.error('Project directory not found');
  } else if (error.message.includes('patterns.json')) {
    console.error('Detection patterns file missing or invalid');
  } else {
    console.error('Detection failed:', error.message);
  }
}

Common Issues

Low Confidence Scores (<0.7):

• Project may use multiple cloud providers (check all_results)
• Limited cloud-specific patterns (consider manual override)
• Infrastructure as code not in Terraform (update detection patterns)

False Positives:

• Reduce minimum confidence threshold
• Check which signals were detected
• Review pattern matches in source files

No Detection:

• Ensure project path is correct
• Check that cloud provider files are not in ignored directories
• Verify patterns.json includes expected indicators

Customization

Adding New Providers

Edit cloud-provider-patterns.json:

{
  "providers": {
    "digitalocean": {
      "name": "DigitalOcean",
      "confidence_boost": 0.3,
      "detection_signals": {
        "terraform": {
          "weight": 0.5,
          "patterns": ["provider \"digitalocean\"", "digitalocean_droplet"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Adjusting Detection Rules

{
  "detection_rules": {
    "minimum_confidence": 0.6,        // Lower = more permissive
    "multi_signal_boost": 0.3,        // Higher = favor multi-signal
    "minimum_signals_for_boost": 2    // Lower = boost earlier
  }
}

Best Practices

1. Run Early: Detect cloud provider at task start for optimal skill loading
2. Check Confidence: Log confidence scores to monitor detection accuracy
3. Manual Override: Provide --provider flag for edge cases
4. Multi-Cloud: Handle projects using multiple cloud providers gracefully
5. Cache Results: Cache detection results per session to avoid re-scanning

Dependencies

• Node.js: ≥18.0.0 required for glob and fs.promises
• NPM Package: glob for file pattern matching

Install with:

npm install glob
