amazon-bedrock
Builds generative AI applications on Amazon Bedrock. Covers model invocation (Converse API, InvokeModel), RAG with Knowledge Bases, Bedrock Agents, Guardrails, and AgentCore (including the Harness managed agent loop). Use when invoking models, setting up Knowledge Bases, creating agents, applying guardrails, deploying to AgentCore, migrating/porting/converting a Bedrock Agent (including inline agents) to an AgentCore Harness, troubleshooting Bedrock errors (ThrottlingException, AccessDeniedException), or choosing models (Claude, Llama, Nova, Titan). ALSO USE for prompt caching setup and debugging, quota health checks and throttling diagnosis, cost attribution and tracking, migrating between Claude model generations (4.5 to 4.6 to 4.7), chunking strategies, API selection (Converse vs InvokeModel), guardrail capabilities, and model selection. Also covers AgentCore Payments setup (x402, microtransactions, Payment Manager, Connector, Instrument, Coinbase CDP, Stripe Privy, 402 Payment Required, pay for content, paid endpoint, agent payments). NOT for custom model training, Rekognition, or Comprehend.

aws-blocks
Guides building full-stack applications with AWS Blocks — an Infrastructure-from-Code framework. Applies when creating APIs, selecting Building Blocks (KVStore, DistributedTable, Database, AuthBasic, AuthCognito, Realtime, AsyncJob, FileBucket, etc.), running local development, or deploying AWS Blocks applications. Also covers AWS Blocks topics with validated, version-specific patterns that prevent common mistakes. Triggers when user mentions AWS Blocks; project has aws-blocks/ directory; code imports @aws-blocks packages.
aws-cdk
Authors, deploys, and troubleshoots AWS infrastructure using CDK with TypeScript or Python. Covers best practices, stack architecture, and construct patterns. Always use when writing CDK constructs, bootstrapping environments, running cdk deploy/synth/diff, fixing CDK or CloudFormation errors, planning stack structure, importing existing resources, resolving drift, or refactoring stacks without resource replacement.
aws-cloudformation
Author, validate, and troubleshoot AWS CloudFormation templates. Covers template authoring with secure defaults, pre-deployment validation (cfn-lint, cfn-guard, change sets), and root-cause diagnosis of failed stacks using CloudFormation events and CloudTrail correlation.
aws-containers
Deploys and operates containerized workloads on ECS, Fargate, and ECR. Covers task definitions, Fargate services, ECR repository setup and lifecycle policies, ECS Exec debugging, service scaling, deployment strategies, load balancer integration, and logging configuration. Use when deploying, debugging, or optimizing containers on AWS. ALSO USE for container deployment options (ECS vs ECS Express Mode), networking modes, health check troubleshooting, OOM errors, secrets injection, blue/green deployments, ECR image management, and App Runner sunset guidance and migration. NOT for Kubernetes, EKS, or CI/CD pipelines.

aws-serverless
Builds, deploys, manages, debugs, configures, and optimizes serverless applications on AWS using Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge, and SAM/CDK. Covers cold starts, CORS debugging, event source mappings, troubleshooting, concurrency, SnapStart, Powertools, function URLs, EventBridge Scheduler, Lambda layers, and production readiness. Triggers on mentions of Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, SAM templates, CDK serverless stacks, DynamoDB stream triggers, SQS event sources, cold starts, timeouts, 502/504 errors, throttling, concurrency, CORS, Powertools, or any event-driven architecture on AWS, even without the word "serverless." Does not apply to EC2, ECS/Fargate containers, or Amplify hosting.
herdr
Control herdr from inside a herdr-managed pane. Use when running inside herdr (`HERDR_ENV=1`) to inspect workspaces, tabs, and panes; split panes; run commands in sibling panes; coordinate agents; read pane output; or wait for output/status changes through the `herdr` CLI.

vanta-mcp
Review Vanta compliance tests, controls, policies, evidence, vendors, and vulnerabilities through Vanta's hosted MCP endpoint. Use when Codex needs to retrieve or summarize Vanta data, report deadlines, or inspect available Vanta tools. This skill uses a local OAuth adapter and treats every mutation as opt-in.
