Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.
Steps
Step 0: Detect Environment
Scan the project and available CLIs to determine what cloud platforms are in use:
# Check for IaC
find . -name '*.tf' -not -path './.terraform/*' 2>/dev/null
ls Pulumi.yaml cdk.json template.yaml 2>/dev/null
# Check for platform configs
cat wrangler.toml 2>/dev/null
cat fly.toml 2>/dev/null
ls vercel.json netlify.toml render.yaml 2>/dev/null
ls docker-compose.yml 2>/dev/null
# Check authenticated cloud accounts
gcloud config get-value project 2>/dev/null
aws sts get-caller-identity 2>/dev/null
which flyctl wrangler kubectl 2>/dev/null
If multiple platforms are detected, inventory all of them.
Step 1: Inventory All Resources
Run discovery commands for each detected platform:
GCP:
gcloud run services list --format="table(name,region,status)" 2>/dev/null
gcloud compute instances list --format="table(name,zone,machineType,status)" 2>/dev/null
gcloud sql instances list --format="table(name,region,tier,status)" 2>/dev/null
gcloud storage ls 2>/dev/null
gcloud dns managed-zones list --format="table(name,dnsName)" 2>/dev/null
gcloud compute addresses list --format="table(name,address,status)" 2>/dev/null
gcloud iam service-accounts list --format="table(email,disabled)" 2>/dev/null
AWS:
aws ec2 describe-instances --query 'Reservations[].Instances[].{ID:InstanceId,Type:InstanceType,State:State.Name,Name:Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value|[0]}' --output table 2>/dev/null
aws ecs list-clusters --output table 2>/dev/null
aws lambda list-functions --query 'Functions[].{Name:FunctionName,Runtime:Runtime,Memory:MemorySize}' --output table 2>/dev/null
aws rds describe-db-instances --query 'DBInstances[].{ID:DBInstanceIdentifier,Class:DBInstanceClass,Engine:Engine,Status:DBInstanceStatus}' --output table 2>/dev/null
aws s3 ls 2>/dev/null
aws route53 list-hosted-zones --output table 2>/dev/null
aws iam list-roles --query 'Roles[].{Name:RoleName,Created:CreateDate}' --output table 2>/dev/null
Fly.io:
fly apps list 2>/dev/null
fly postgres list 2>/dev/null
Cloudflare:
wrangler whoami 2>/dev/null
Also read all IaC files to catch resources that may not be queryable via CLI (e.g., resources in a different account or not yet applied).
Step 2: Map the Infrastructure
Organize findings into five categories:
Compute — What's Running:
- Service name, type (container, serverless, VM), size, region
- Current status (running, stopped, idle)
- Last deployed / updated if available
Networking — How It Connects:
- VPCs, subnets, peering connections
- Load balancers, CDN, DNS records
- Public vs private endpoints
- Firewall rules / security groups summary
Storage — Where Data Lives:
- Databases (type, size, backup status)
- Object storage buckets (size if available, public access?)
- Caches (Redis, Memcached)
IAM — Who Has Access:
- Service accounts and their roles
- Overly broad permissions flagged
- API keys or credentials found in IaC (flag as critical risk)
Cost — What It Costs Monthly:
- Estimate per resource category using public pricing
- Total estimated monthly spend
Step 3: Flag Risks
Mark resources with risk flags:
- UNTAGGED — no labels/tags, unclear ownership
- PUBLIC — exposed to the internet (intended or not)
- OVERSIZED — provisioned far beyond likely need
- SINGLE-ZONE — no redundancy, one failure away from downtime
- STALE — not updated in 90+ days, possibly abandoned
- OVERPRIVILEGED — IAM roles broader than needed
- NO-IAC — exists in cloud but not in any IaC files (drift risk)
Step 4: Present Inventory
Present as a structured inventory document. End with:
- Total resource count by category
- Top 3 risks to address first
- Whether IaC coverage is complete or if there's drift
- Recommended next steps (audit, cost optimization, security hardening)
Delivery
If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
