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
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.
