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

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to programmatically manage AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) resources directly through CloudFormation templates. It allows for the automated creation, modification, and deletion of IAM users, roles, groups, and policies while maintaining infrastructure as code principles.

When to use it

  • Automating the provisioning of secure access roles for new microservices or serverless functions without manual console interaction.
  • Enforcing consistent security policies across multiple AWS accounts by deploying standardized CloudFormation stacks.
  • Rapidly scaling team access by generating and applying IAM user definitions based on project requirements.
  • Reverting access configurations to a previous state during incident response or compliance audits.

Key capabilities

  • Define and deploy IAM users with specific login credentials and permissions.
  • Create managed IAM roles for EC2 instances, Lambda functions, and other AWS services.
  • Attach inline policies and manage policy versions within CloudFormation templates.
  • Handle group membership to organize users with shared permission sets.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new IAM role for an EC2 instance that allows read-only access to S3 buckets in the 'production' account."
  • "Generate a CloudFormation template to add a user named 'devops-engineer' with administrative privileges to the 'staging' environment."
  • "Update the existing Lambda execution role to include permissions for invoking API Gateway methods."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AWS CLI is configured with sufficient permissions to execute CloudFormation updates before running this skill. Always validate CloudFormation templates against AWS IAM best practices to prevent over-permissive policies from being deployed automatically.
