1Security ScanThis skill runs security and compliance scanning on AWS CDK projects using multiple tools. A developer uses it before deployment to synthesize CloudFormation, run Viperlight code analysis, check dependency licenses, scan containers with Trivy, and run ASH for aggregated SAST, IaC, and secret analysis. It ends with a summary and an HTML report and treats all 9 steps as mandatory.46installs2Cost EstimatorThis skill estimates AWS infrastructure costs for CDK projects using real-time pricing from the AWS Price List Bulk API. A developer uses it before deployment to scan CDK resources, fetch current prices, and generate Excel and Markdown cost reports. It also covers comparing costs across regions and calculating Bedrock model costs.34installs3Aws Mcp SetupThis skill guides configuring AWS MCP servers so an AI agent can search AWS documentation and call AWS APIs. A developer uses it when setting up aws-mcp or awsdocs, wiring uvx and credentials, or debugging MCP connectivity. It covers both the full AWS MCP Server (uvx plus AWS credentials) and the lightweight Documentation MCP that needs no auth.33installs4Aws Cdk DevelopmentThis skill guides building AWS infrastructure as code with the Cloud Development Kit in TypeScript or Python. It covers CDK app structure, construct and stack composition, Lambda construct selection, and a multi-layer pre-deployment validation strategy using cdk-nag. A developer uses it when creating or refactoring CDK stacks, implementing Lambda functions, or validating configurations before deployment. It integrates a CDK MCP server and requires verifying AWS facts via documentation MCP tools.32installs5Create Install ScriptsThis skill generates installation scripts and CI/CD configuration for AWS CDK projects. A developer uses it to produce an interactive install.sh, a .gitlab-ci.yml for GitLab CI/CD, and a buildspec.yml for AWS CodeBuild that automate CDK deployment. It analyzes the CDK project structure and configures deployment variables and secrets.30installs6Aws Agentic AiThis skill provides guidance for deploying and managing AI agents on AWS Bedrock AgentCore across its nine core services. It routes an agent to the right service README (Gateway, Runtime, Memory, Identity, Code Interpreter, Browser, Observability, Agent Registry, Evaluations) and documents cross-service patterns for credentials and security. A developer uses it when building, deploying, cataloging, or monitoring agents on AWS. It requires verifying AWS facts through bundled documentation MCP tools.28installs7End To End TestingThis skill runs a systematic end-to-end testing workflow for validating complete user flows. A developer uses it to plan test cases, execute them, capture evidence such as screenshots and logs, document defects, and generate reports including an HTML viewer. It enforces a mandatory pre-reporting validation phase before results are reported.28installs8Strands Context ManagerThis skill provides a Strands Agents SDK conversation manager that combines a sliding window with summarization. A developer uses it when building Strands agents with long conversations that need context-window management and compaction. It documents critical pitfalls such as the inheritance trap, infinite recursion, and the hook-closure problem, and shows the implementation pattern.25installs9Aws Cost OperationsThis skill guides AWS cost optimization, monitoring, observability, and operational excellence. It covers pre-deployment cost estimation, Cost Explorer spending analysis, budget alerts, CloudWatch metrics and alarms, and CloudTrail activity auditing. A developer uses it when analyzing AWS bills, setting up alarms, querying logs, or assessing operational and security posture. It integrates AWS Pricing, Cost Explorer, and CloudWatch MCP servers and verifies facts through AWS documentation MCP tools.21installs10Gitlab Docs PublishingThis skill publishes HTML or Markdown design documents on GitLab Pages and adds an in-context comment workflow. Reviewers select any text in the published doc, and a floating bubble opens a prefilled GitLab Issue with a title, anchor link, selection quote, and label. It relies only on free GitLab features and the reviewer's existing session, so there is no OAuth, PAT, or in-page API call.20installs11Quip To Gitlab WikiThis skill migrates Quip documents into a GitLab Wiki while preserving content and media. A developer uses it to convert Quip HTML to Markdown, download embedded images, compress videos, and push the results into a GitLab Wiki with organized navigation. It also configures a GitLab MCP for future edits.19installs
