aws-core
v1.2.0by aws · author: Amazon Web Services
Build, deploy, and operate applications on AWS. Skills to author infrastructure-as-code (CDK, CloudFormation), use core services (Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, ECS/Fargate, ECR, IAM, Amazon Bedrock with Knowledge Bases and Guardrails, AWS Blocks), select and operate databases across relational, key-value, document, wide-column, graph, time-series, and in-memory engines, and complete common tasks across observability, messaging and streaming, AWS SDKs, cost optimization, and Well-Architected Framework reviews across all six pillars.
What aws-core does, in the publisher's words
The primary plugin for the Agent Toolkit for AWS. This plugin gives your AI coding agent the AWS MCP Server configuration and a curated set of agent skills, everything it needs to build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS.

AWS Startup Advisor puts an AWS Startups Solutions Architect in your coding assistant. It recommends the smallest architecture that fits your stage, credits, and team, then can scaffold it, migrate you from Azure, Google Cloud, or Heroku, move your model calls to Amazon Bedrock, and investigate production incidents. It also answers your AWS Activate credits eligibility questions and finds startup offers you can use.
Build, deploy, and operate AI agents on AWS. Skills for scaffolding agents with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore (Strands, LangGraph), connecting tools via Gateway and MCP, multi-agent and A2A orchestration, memory, Cedar policies, evaluation, observability, debugging traces and logs, and production hardening.
