Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
The AWS CloudFront CDN skill enables AI agents to configure, manage, and optimize Amazon CloudFront distributions for global content delivery. It handles tasks ranging from creating new distributions to updating cache policies and managing origin settings directly through natural language commands.
When to use it
- Deploying static websites or APIs that require low-latency access for users across different geographic regions.
- Optimizing media streaming performance by configuring specific cache behaviors and TTLs for video or image assets.
- Securing content delivery by setting up origin access control (OAC) policies to prevent direct origin access.
- Automating routine maintenance tasks like updating distribution configurations or invalidating cached objects after deployments.
Key capabilities
- Creating and modifying CloudFront distributions with custom domain names and SSL certificates.
- Configuring cache behaviors, including query string forwarding and header manipulation.
- Setting up origin groups for high availability and failover scenarios.
- Managing security settings such as viewer protocol policies and signed URLs/Cookies.
- Invalidating specific objects or entire paths from the edge cache.
Example prompts
- "Create a new CloudFront distribution for my static site hosted on S3, using my custom domain example.com with HTTPS enabled."
- "Update the cache policy for my video streaming path to bypass caching entirely and forward all query strings."
- "Generate a signed URL for this specific image that expires in 24 hours to share securely with a client."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you have valid SSL certificates ready before attempting to configure HTTPS endpoints, as CloudFront requires them for secure connections. Be mindful of the limits on the number of distributions and cache behaviors allowed per account tier when scaling your infrastructure.
