description	Use this skill to investigate and troubleshoot AWS Lake Formation problems by analyzing permission grants, revoke issues, IAM vs LF permissions, data location registration, S3 path issues, database and table permissions, column-level security, cross-account sharing, RAM integration, governed tables, transactions, compaction, blueprint failures, workflow issues, Athena/Redshift/EMR access, Glue integration, data filters, tag-based access control, and following structured runbooks. Activate when: grant failures, revoke issues, IAM-LF permission conflicts, data location registration errors, S3 path problems, catalog permission issues, column-level security not working, cross-account sharing failures, governed table transaction errors, blueprint failures, query access denied from analytics services, data filter issues, or the user says something is wrong with Lake Formation without naming specific symptoms.
compatibility	Requires AWS CLI or SDK access with Lake Formation, Glue, S3, IAM, RAM, CloudTrail, and optionally Athena, Redshift, and EMR permissions. Lake Formation administrator access required for permission management.

AWS Lake Formation Diagnostics

When to use

Any AWS Lake Formation investigation where the console alone is insufficient — permission grant/revoke failures, IAM vs Lake Formation permission conflicts, data location registration, catalog permissions, cross-account sharing, governed tables, blueprints, analytics service integration, or tag-based access control.
