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 itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills at e786d25128.

    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 allows an AI agent to interact with and manage AWS Step Functions. It enables orchestration of complex workflows, automating tasks like data processing pipelines or order fulfillment processes by defining state machines. The agent can create, execute, and monitor these workflows directly through natural language commands.

When to use it

  • Automating a multi-step process: You need to automate an approval workflow involving multiple teams and systems.
  • Orchestrating data pipelines: You want to build a pipeline that extracts, transforms, and loads (ETL) data from various sources.
  • Managing order fulfillment: You're creating a system to manage orders, including inventory checks, payment processing, and shipping updates.
  • Debugging existing workflows: You need assistance in identifying bottlenecks or errors within an existing Step Function state machine.

Key capabilities

  • Create new Step Functions
  • Execute existing Step Functions
  • Monitor the status of running Step Functions
  • Manage state machines

Example prompts

  • "Create a step function to process customer orders."
  • "Run the 'data-pipeline' state machine and tell me its current status."
  • "List all my available step functions."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires appropriate AWS credentials configured for the AI agent.
  • Step Functions can be complex; familiarity with state machine design is helpful to effectively utilize this skill.
