Built to scale
From individuals to enterprise teams, our products are designed to grow with you and integrate into existing workflows.

Products

Three products you can use today.

From AWS developer tooling to a gaming SaaS and a live news dashboard — each one is live and in active use right now.

CDK Insights

CDK Insights

AWS CDK analysis tool

CDK Insights is an AWS CDK security and cost scanner for infrastructure as code. It analyses your TypeScript CDK stacks for security gaps, compliance violations, and cost waste before they reach CloudFormation — over 100 rules across 35+ AWS services, with deeper AI checks mapped to the Well-Architected Framework.

Static analysis
100+ rules across security, compliance, and cost
AI analysis
Findings mapped to Well-Architected pillars, deep checks via AWS Bedrock
TypeScript native
Deep AST parsing for CDK constructs and L2/L3 patterns
Free forever
Static analysis at no cost, no account required

Run it locally or in any CI pipeline. Findings come back as a Markdown report or GitHub issues, so misconfigurations get caught in review instead of in production.

Foresights

Foresights

Plugin for Claude Code & Cowork

Foresights is a plugin for Claude Code and Claude Cowork that spins up a live news dashboard customised to your stack. Its skills — /create-dashboard, /refresh-dashboard and more — pull releases, pull requests, and issues from the GitHub repos and RSS feeds you care about, then flag every item by which of your products it touches, so you see what's worth acting on without drowning in a firehose.

Click any flagged item for a brief grounded in your own codebase, then generate a ready-to-paste Claude Code prompt — or wire the /digest command into your repo to close the loop. Open source under the MIT licence.

Add the Instance Labs marketplace to Claude, then install Foresights:

/plugin marketplace add instancelabs/foresightsView on GitHub
A Foresights dashboard tracking AWS CDK releases, RFCs and PRs, with items flagged for CDK Insights
  • Skills for Claude Code & Cowork, like /create-dashboard
  • Flags GitHub releases, PRs and RSS by product relevance
  • Briefs grounded in your codebase become Claude Code prompts
