Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned zxkane/aws-skills at 68530c6f29.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The aws-cdk-development skill enables AI agents to create, manage, and deploy infrastructure as code using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). It supports defining cloud resources in TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python, and automates the deployment process through AWS CDK commands.

When to use it

  • You need to provision AWS resources programmatically with reusable, version-controlled templates.
  • You want to automate infrastructure setup for development, testing, or production environments.
  • Your team uses Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices and prefers a code-first approach to cloud resource management.

Key capabilities

  • Define AWS infrastructure using CDK constructs in TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python.
  • Synthesize and deploy stacks to AWS accounts with built-in CI/CD support.
  • Manage dependencies between resources and ensure consistent deployments across environments.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a CDK stack for deploying an S3 bucket with versioning enabled."
  • "Create a TypeScript CDK project that provisions a VPC and EC2 instance."
  • "Deploy the latest changes to my AWS CDK infrastructure using the correct CLI commands."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have the AWS CLI configured and the CDK CLI installed before use.
  • Use environment variables or secrets management for sensitive configuration values like access keys.
