Limit agent permissions and spend in AWS Transform custom

AWS Transform custom needs three guardrails before you run its autonomous coding agent across a fleet of repositories: a trust allowlist, a scoped execution identity, and a spend cap. A trust settings file cut approval prompts on a sample Java upgrade from 23 to zero across three runs, without using the blanket --trust-all-tools flag. The execute-only managed policy separates the pipeline role from the one that authors transformation definitions, and can be further scoped with resource tags. An agent-minute cap stops a run at a chosen limit (exit code 2) while an AWS Budgets alert watches cumulative spend; a sample run cost about $1.60 for 45.8 agent minutes at $0.035 per minute.

Skills across coding assistants

I love Claude Code, but I use it so much that I regularly exhaust my weekly quota before the week ends. When that happens, I usually switch to other free-tier CLIs, e.g., Google Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, and, just last week, Mistral’s Vibe. I really wanted to try Vibe to evaluate the feasibility of moving away from Claude Code in favor of a more sovereign solution. Vibe only offers a single model by default, Mistral Medium 3.5.
