$ /plugin marketplace add itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills

$ /plugin marketplace update aws-agent-skills

Then run /reload-plugins. Upstream re-checks AWS docs weekly, so re-pull to pick up refreshed skill content.

When to use it

You're writing Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation, ECS Fargate, EventBridge rules) and want AWS-aware patterns inline.
You need IAM policy authoring or to debug an access-denied / Lambda timeout / VPC error against real AWS best practices.
You want curated, token-efficient AWS knowledge in-context rather than streaming large docs/schemas through an AWS MCP server.
You're building serverless or container workloads (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, ECS, EKS, Step Functions, Bedrock) and want edge-case and security guidance.

Commands & flags

/plugin marketplace add itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills: Register the marketplace in Claude Code.
/plugin install aws-agent-skills: Install the full skill pack (all 18 AWS service skills).
/plugin install https://github.com/itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills: Install directly from the GitHub repo without adding the marketplace.
iam / lambda / dynamodb / cloudformation: Skills auto-trigger by AWS domain - e.g. ask to write a CloudFormation template or debug an IAM access-denied error.
$skill-installer install https://github.com/itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills/<skill-name>: Codex CLI: install a single skill (e.g. lambda) instead of the full pack.

How to use it

Install once via the Claude Code marketplace, then the skills trigger automatically by AWS domain.

/plugin marketplace add itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills
/plugin install aws-agent-skills

Or install straight from GitHub without the marketplace step:

/plugin install https://github.com/itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills

Then ask in natural language - "Create an IAM policy for Lambda to access DynamoDB", "Write a CloudFormation template for a serverless API", "Debug my Lambda timeout". Each of the 18 skills ships a SKILL.md (core concepts, CLI reference, best practices, troubleshooting) plus deep-dive supplementary files, with metadata noting when content was last refreshed against AWS docs.

Codex CLI users can install individual skills:

$skill-installer install https://github.com/itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills/lambda

Why it earns its place

Covers 18 core AWS services (IAM, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, API Gateway, EC2, ECS, EKS, CloudFormation, CloudWatch, RDS, SQS, SNS, Cognito, Step Functions, Secrets Manager, EventBridge, Bedrock) in one MIT-licensed pack with ~1.1k stars. The skills are pre-compressed, local, and LLM-optimized, keeping the context window small and predictable versus piping large docs through an AWS MCP - and an automated weekly job re-checks AWS documentation to keep content current. A focused, reasoning-first alternative to the heavier AWS MCP setup for cloud engineering inside Claude Code.
