Install target

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-ec2 skill enables AI agents to programmatically provision, configure, and manage Amazon EC2 instances using AWS CloudFormation templates. It automates infrastructure-as-code workflows to ensure consistent server environments across development, staging, and production.

When to use it

  • Automatically spin up isolated EC2 instances for testing new application features without manual console interaction.
  • Revert server configurations to a known good state by updating or replacing existing CloudFormation stacks.
  • Scale compute resources dynamically in response to traffic spikes defined within the stack parameters.
  • Enforce security compliance by applying specific instance types, IAM roles, and network settings via template updates.

Key capabilities

  • Create and update AWS CloudFormation stacks specifically for EC2 resources.
  • Manage instance lifecycle events including launch, stop, start, and termination.
  • Configure security groups, key pairs, and subnet associations through template parameters.
  • Handle stack operations such as create, update, delete, and describe status.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new CloudFormation stack to launch two t3.medium EC2 instances in the us-east-1 region with SSH access enabled."
  • "Update the existing web-server-stack to change the instance type from t2.micro to t3.large and attach a new security group."
  • "Delete the development-environment stack and remove all associated EC2 resources to free up costs."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has the necessary IAM permissions to execute CloudFormation actions on your AWS account. Always validate CloudFormation templates before deployment to prevent unintended resource provisioning or configuration errors.
