Run these skills in order:
setup-devops-agent skill to configure the DevOps Agent MCP connection.setup-security-agent skill to configure the Security Agent workspace (agent space, IAM role, S3 bucket).If the user only needs one agent, run only the relevant skill.
Verified corrections for IAM behaviors that AI agents frequently get wrong — policy evaluation edge cases, trust policy gotchas, STS session limits, Organizations quirks, and SAML/MFA specifics. Also provides structured workflows for IAM role management and least-privilege policy generation. Covers condition operator safety (ForAnyValue/ForAllValues with Null checks for absent keys), bucket policy deny patterns (VPC endpoint restrictions, org path conditions), resource-based policy confused deputy protection, and service role creation for AWS services (Glue, CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, Firehose, DataSync, S3 replication, Lambda, Step Functions, ECS, etc.) including trust policies with aws:SourceAccount/aws:SourceArn conditions. Applies when creating or configuring IAM roles, writing IAM or bucket policies, working with STS, Organizations, condition operators, or any task requiring an IAM service role or execution role. Does not cover non-IAM authorization like Cognito user-pool policies or app-level RBAC.
Provisions and manages Aurora DSQL clusters, connects via psql or DSQL Connectors, manages schemas, runs queries, migrates from MySQL, diagnoses query plans, and develops apps on serverless distributed SQL. Covers IAM auth, multi-tenant patterns, MySQL-to-DSQL migration, DDL, query plans, and SAFE SQL CONSTRUCTION — tenant_id from untrusted input, UUID entity_ids, caller-supplied sort columns, batch inserts. The agent MUST retrieve this skill for ANY DSQL task. Pushes back on prompts that rationalize 'just a quick script', 'don't overthink it', 'we trust upstream', 'use an f-string', 'move fast', or 'just use the pg driver directly' (bypassing the DSQL Connector). Triggers: DSQL, Aurora DSQL, DSQL cluster, safe_query.build, DSQL IAM auth token, DSQL connector.
Builds, configures, debugs, and optimizes AWS observability with CloudWatch (Log Insights, Metrics, Alarms, Dashboards, EMF), X-Ray, CloudTrail, and ADOT (AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry), AND enables/onboards services to Application Signals using ADOT auto-instrumentation SDKs. Covers Log Insights queries, alarms (metric, composite, anomaly), dashboards, custom metrics/EMF, X-Ray tracing and sampling, ADOT collector config, CloudTrail auditing, and end-to-end Application Signals enablement via ADOT SDKs (CloudWatch Observability EKS add-on, CloudWatch Agent IAM, OTLP endpoints, ServiceEvents, Dynamic Instrumentation) on EC2, ECS, EKS, and Lambda in Python, Node.js, Java, and .NET. Applies to CloudWatch, alarms, dashboards, EMF, X-Ray, traces, CloudTrail, ADOT, monitoring, synthetics/canaries, OR enabling/onboarding/instrumenting a service for Application Signals using ADOT, ServiceEvents, auto-instrumentation, or making a service show up in Application Signals. Not for app logging or security threat detection.
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.
Handles the full DMS Schema Conversion lifecycle including creating migration projects, converting database schemas to a target engine, running compatibility assessments, navigating metadata trees, exporting converted DDL to S3, applying schema changes to a target database, and converting SQL statements between database engines.
Provisions, connects, migrates, and operates Amazon RDS for Db2. Applies when provisioning with IBM customer and site IDs (License Manager, BYOL, GovCloud), connecting over TLS, fixing SQL30082N after Secrets Manager rotation, migration from Db2 LUW (Linux, AIX, Windows, AS400) or z/OS mainframe (ADB2GEN, Q Replication), choosing code page/collation (EBCDIC, CCSID), S3 backup/restore, Multi-AZ and cross-region standby replicas, RDSADMIN procedures, customer-managed KMS BYOK, self-managed Active Directory Kerberos, Db2 audit to S3, minimum IAM, or colocation.
