- aws-well-architected-framework-review
- Perform a full AWS Well-Architected Framework review evaluating all 57 questions across 6 pillars by analyzing code, IaC, and configurations to produce evidence-backed findings with Eisenhower-prioritized remediation.
- example-skill
- Example skill template used for the CreateHub template. You should never use this skill directly as it is just a template made to be updated.
- migration-readiness
- Assess a workload's readiness to migrate to AWS by analyzing existing code, dependencies, configurations, and infrastructure to produce evidence-backed findings covering the 7 Rs, risks, and a migration plan.
- wa-builder
- "Learn then Build": help developers understand AWS Well-Architected best practices for their specific workload, then produce actionable visual artifacts (architecture diagrams with WA annotations, decision trees, improvement roadmaps) they can commit and use. Adapts explanations for beginners and…
- wa-guardrails
- Generate preventive Well-Architected guardrails, AWS Config rules, Service Control Policies, permission boundaries, CloudWatch alarms, and IaC policy checks (CDK Aspects, cfn-guard, OPA/Sentinel), plus an optional governance steering doc, so a workload stays aligned with Well-Architected best pra…
- wafr-facilitator
- Help a facilitator run a conversational Well-Architected Framework Review (WAFR) with a customer, generates tailored facilitator questions, probing follow-ups, and "things to look out for" per WA question and best practice, adapted to the workload context.

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.
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.
Portable Agent Plugins package for the Agent Toolkit for AWS. Bundles the AWS MCP Server (secure, IAM-governed access to 300+ AWS services, sandboxed Python execution, and live AWS documentation) together with curated skills that guide agents to build production-ready, Well-Architected infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code. Derived from the open-source Agent Toolkit for AWS (Apache-2.0).
Investigate incidents, review code and execute UAT for release readiness, scan code for vulnerabilities, and run penetration tests with AWS DevOps Agent and AWS Security Agent.
Find AWS cost waste in Terraform, CloudFormation, and live AWS accounts with CloudBurn's read-only scans.
Assess, improve, and govern the resilience of AWS applications from your IDE, next-gen Resilience Hub GenAI failure-mode assessments, dependency discovery, RTO/RPO policy validation, enterprise-grade remediation reporting with resource ARNs and cost validation via AWS Pricing API, Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) failover orchestration, and AWS Well-Architected Reliability-pillar guidance, powered by the managed AWS MCP Server with integrated AWS Documentation, re:Post knowledge, and AWS Pricing.
