Live repository

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

    Makes no network calls.

    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.

  • 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 giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit at fe73fb33a0.

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

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The aws-cloudformation-dynamodb skill enables AI agents to programmatically manage Amazon DynamoDB tables using AWS CloudFormation templates. It allows for the automated creation, modification, and deletion of NoSQL database resources within Infrastructure as Code workflows.

When to use it

  • Initialize new DynamoDB tables with specific capacity modes (provisioned or on-demand) during CI/CD pipelines.
  • Update table schemas by adding or removing attributes without manual console intervention.
  • Enforce compliance by automatically deleting unused or deprecated database instances via CloudFormation stack updates.
  • Define encryption settings and backup policies for sensitive data stores declaratively.

Key capabilities

  • Table Creation: Instantly provisions DynamoDB tables with custom partition and sort keys.
  • Schema Management: Dynamically adds, removes, or modifies table attributes through template updates.
  • Lifecycle Control: Automates the full lifecycle of database resources from provisioning to deletion.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Integrates seamlessly with existing CloudFormation stacks for consistent environment management.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new DynamoDB table named 'UserProfiles' with a partition key 'userId' and provisioned capacity of 5 read units."
  • "Update the existing 'Orders' table to add a new attribute called 'orderStatus' as a String type."
  • "Delete the CloudFormation stack associated with the 'AnalyticsDB' DynamoDB table to free up resources."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AWS account has the necessary IAM permissions for cloudformation:CreateStack and dynamodb:DescribeTable before attempting operations. Remember that changes to existing table schemas in DynamoDB may require specific handling depending on the attribute type modifications.
