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-rds skill enables AI agents to programmatically provision, configure, and manage Amazon RDS database instances using AWS CloudFormation templates. It automates the creation of relational databases with specific engine types, instance classes, and storage settings directly from code or natural language instructions.

When to use it

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Deployment: Automatically spin up new production database clusters defined in a CloudFormation template without manual console interaction.
  • Disaster Recovery Setup: Rapidly replicate database infrastructure configurations to secondary regions for high availability and failover scenarios.
  • Environment Provisioning: Instantly create isolated development or staging RDS environments matching exact production specifications for testing workflows.
  • Compliance Auditing: Ensure database instances are launched with pre-defined security groups, encryption settings, and backup retention policies mandated by organizational standards.

Key capabilities

  • Provisions Amazon RDS instances across supported engines (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB).
  • Configures instance classes, storage sizes, and IOPS based on template parameters.
  • Manages security groups and VPC networking settings for database isolation.
  • Enables automated backups and point-in-time recovery configurations.

Example prompts

  • "Provision a new PostgreSQL RDS instance in the us-east-1 region with 4GB of storage using our standard CloudFormation template."
  • "Update the existing MariaDB database configuration to increase the allocated storage to 50GB and enable automated daily backups."
  • "Deploy a high-availability RDS cluster for MySQL with multi-AZ support and specific security group rules allowing access only from the application subnet."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have valid AWS credentials with CloudFormation and RDS permissions attached to the agent's role. Be aware that provisioning time depends on instance size and region availability, so plan for potential delays during initial deployment.
