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 personamanagmentlayer/pcl at 79ccaa9820.

    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 provides expert guidance and assistance for deploying and managing cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It leverages deep knowledge of AWS architecture, core services like EC2 and Lambda, security best practices, cost optimization strategies, and production operations principles aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework. The skill can generate and execute AWS CLI commands to manage resources.

When to use it

  • You need help launching or managing EC2 instances, including starting, stopping, creating AMIs (Amazon Machine Images), and configuring user data scripts.
  • You want assistance with creating and deploying Lambda functions, including writing basic Python code for handlers.
  • You require guidance on AWS best practices for scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
  • You need to list EC2 instances based on tags or other filters.

Key capabilities

  • EC2 Management: Launching, stopping, starting, listing, and creating AMIs of EC2 instances using the AWS CLI.
  • Lambda Function Creation: Generating basic Python code for Lambda function handlers.
  • AWS Well-Architected Framework Adherence: Designs infrastructure following established best practices.
  • AWS CLI Command Generation: Produces commands to interact with various AWS services.

Example prompts

  • "Launch a t3.micro EC2 instance in subnet subnet-0123456789abcdef0."
  • "Create a Lambda function that returns 'Hello, World!'"
  • "List all production EC2 instances and show their Instance ID, State, and Private IP Address."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill generates AWS CLI commands. You may need to configure your AWS credentials before executing the generated commands.
  • The Lambda function code provided is a basic example and might require modification for specific use cases.
