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 mindrally/skills at 7682ca7771.

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

1 file, 227 lines
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 provides guidance and assistance for developing applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS), with a focus on serverless architecture, Infrastructure as Code, and security best practices. It offers specific recommendations for AWS Lambda functions, CDK deployments, DynamoDB table design, and IAM policy creation. The goal is to help users write clean code, manage infrastructure effectively, and build secure cloud solutions.

When to use it

  • When you need assistance writing AWS Lambda functions, including TypeScript implementation on ARM64 architecture.
  • When implementing Infrastructure as Code using tools like Terraform, CDK, or SAM.
  • When designing DynamoDB tables based on access patterns rather than entity relationships.
  • When defining IAM policies and ensuring adherence to the principle of least privilege.

Key capabilities

  • Provides guidance for writing clean, well-structured code with AWS SDK examples.
  • Offers recommendations for using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK, SAM).
  • Suggests best practices for configuring AWS Lambda functions including memory allocation, timeout values and error handling.
  • Guides the implementation of DynamoDB tables based on access patterns and provides advice on capacity modes.
  • Emphasizes IAM security principles like least privilege.

Example prompts

  • "How should I structure a Lambda function using TypeScript?"
  • "What are best practices for defining CloudFormation stacks with AWS CDK?"
  • "Can you give me an example of a custom construct in AWS CDK?"
  • “How do I design a DynamoDB table that supports multiple access patterns?”

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill emphasizes using TypeScript on ARM64 architecture for Lambda functions to improve performance and reduce costs.
  • It's crucial to follow the principle of least privilege when creating IAM policies.
  • When designing DynamoDB tables, prioritize access patterns over entity relationships for optimal performance.
