Execution Rule
- Never run raw
aws ... shell commands directly.
- Execute all AWS operations through the
aws-api skill.
- For AWS tasks not covered by the reference files above, use the
aws-api skill directly, e.g. S3, ECR, ECS, SES, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB etc.
Common Preconditions
- AWS operations: AWS credentials configured for
aws-api MCP — run the aws-enable-cli action if missing.
- RunPod operations:
runpodctl installed and API key configured via runpodctl doctor.
Adding a New Cloud Provider
- Create
references/<provider>-<action>.md with the provider's workflow.
- Add a new section to the Action Index table above.
