Configures AWS Shield Advanced for enhanced Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection: subscribing accounts and adding resource protections, enabling automatic application layer (layer 7) mitigation through AWS WAF, configuring health-based detection with Route 53 health checks, setting up Shield Response Team (SRT) access and proactive engagement, reviewing DDoS events and requesting cost protection credits, and aggregating resources into protection groups. Applicable when the user wants stronger DDoS protection for internet-facing resources (CloudFront, Application or Network Load Balancers, Elastic IP addresses, Global Accelerator, or Route 53 hosted zones), wants expert help during an attack, or wants to recover attack-driven scaling charges. Routes to the right per-task procedure in references. Not applicable for authoring AWS WAF rules (waf skill), creating Route 53 health checks (route53 skill), or org-wide Shield Advanced rollout with Firewall Manager (firewallmanager skill).
Provides connectivity, authentication, and troubleshooting guidance for Amazon RDS for SQL Server. Applicable when users ask about SSMS times out connecting from EC2, Cannot generate SSPI context with Windows auth, connect RDS SQL Server from Lambda with pymssql, auth_scheme shows NTLM instead of KERBEROS on ECS Fargate, SSM tunnel to RDS SQL Server from laptop, port 1433 security group, TrustServerCertificate=True for localhost tunnels, SPN MSSQLSvc, AWS Managed Microsoft AD, CNAME not RDS endpoint for Kerberos, tds_version='7.4', encryption='require', port-as-string for pymssql, Secrets Manager credential caching in Lambda, error 18456 login failed. Covers Python (pymssql, pyodbc), .NET (Microsoft.Data.SqlClient), Java (JDBC mssql-jdbc), Node.js (tedious), IAM auth via RDS Proxy, and VPC/ECS/EKS/Lambda deployment.
Runs and interprets AWS Resilience Hub v2 failure mode assessments. Covers starting assessments, understanding findings (severity, categories, recommendations), triaging by achievability, working with AI-generated service functions, and resolving findings. Applies when the user wants to run an assessment, review findings, or understand failure modes, or has a specific finding and asks how to resolve, remediate, or fix it. Does not apply to initial setup (use resilience-hub-getting-started) or FIS experiments.
Adds user authentication to web and mobile apps with Amazon Cognito (user pools and identity pools) and the AWS Amplify client auth libraries. Covers sign-up/sign-in flows and the login page (Cognito-hosted UI / managed login), MFA, password policies, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC flows (auth-code + PKCE, client credentials), social/SAML federation, tokens (ID/access/refresh, rotation, revocation, storage), Cognito Lambda triggers, identity pools (temp AWS creds), and gating API Gateway (or ALB) routes to signed-in users via Cognito/JWT authorizers. Applies when adding a login or sign-up page, configuring a user pool or app client, choosing user pool vs identity pool, wiring social/SAML, refreshing tokens, requiring sign-in on an API Gateway or ALB, or debugging redirect_uri/token/MFA/CORS/federation errors. Does NOT cover Amplify Gen2 backend definitions (defineAuth, npx ampx → aws-amplify), IAM/STS/Identity Center (→ aws-iam), or API Gateway/Lambda resource config beyond the authorizer (→ aws-serverless).
A/B testing and content experimentation methodology for data-driven content optimization. Use when implementing experiments, analyzing results, or building experimentation infrastructure.
Use when answering complex questions about a codebase that require exploring multiple areas or understanding how components connect - coordinates parallel sub-agents to locate, analyze, and synthesize findings
Designs, reviews, and debugs DynamoDB data layers from design axioms — enumerates access patterns, chooses partition/sort keys and GSIs, decides single-table vs. multi-table, configures Streams, Global Tables, TTL, and zero-ETL integrations to OpenSearch/Redshift/SageMaker Lakehouse, and produces a defensible data-layer design with a monthly cost estimate and optional live validation. Applies whenever a user is designing, reviewing, or refactoring anything backed by DynamoDB — schemas, access patterns, GSIs, single- vs. multi-table choices, Streams consumers, transactional outboxes, Global Tables, zero-ETL pipelines — even when they don't say "axioms" or "design review." Also applies when debugging hot partitions, throttling, unbounded Scans, LWW conflicts, or surprise bills on DynamoDB workloads.
Configures AWS Application Recovery Controller (ARC) for operational resilience: routing controls with safety rules for cross-Region failover, and zonal shift / zonal autoshift for AZ-impairment recovery. Applies when setting up failover routing, configuring safety rules, enabling zonal shift, or configuring zonal autoshift with practice runs. Also applies when shifting traffic out of a specific Availability Zone (AZ) for an ALB/NLB or other resource. For a broader "an AZ is impaired, what is my response across services" question, see aws-resilience-lifecycle. Does not apply to Resilience Hub setup or FIS experiments.
Configures AWS Direct Connect: choosing a connection model (dedicated, hosted, or a link aggregation group) and completing the cross connect; creating private, public, and transit virtual interfaces and bringing up BGP; reaching many VPCs through a Direct Connect gateway including cross-account transit gateway associations; encrypting traffic with MACsec or a private IP Site-to-Site VPN; making the connection resilient and tuning failover; managing link aggregation groups; SiteLink; and migrating from a virtual private gateway to a transit gateway. Use when the user wants a private, consistent network link between a data center and AWS, or operates an existing Direct Connect setup and needs to extend, encrypt, or harden it. Routes to the right per-task procedure in references. Do NOT use for transit gateway route tables and attachments (transitgateway skill), Site-to-Site VPN without Direct Connect (sitetositevpn skill), or Route 53 DNS routing (route53 skill).

Gets AWS credentials for CLI/SDK access via `aws login`. Activates when a developer needs to authenticate to AWS for local development, when an AWS operation fails due to missing or expired credentials, or when someone asks about setting up AWS access. Triggers: "set up AWS", "configure AWS", "aws login", "get credentials", "authenticate", "session expired", "token expired", "no credentials", "AccessDeniedException" with no configured credentials.
Configures CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodeConnections, and CodeArtifact. Covers CodePipeline V2 (triggers, variables, execution modes, cross-account), buildspec.yml (caching, VPC, Docker), CodeDeploy strategies (blue/green, canary, linear), CodeArtifact (private package registries, auth tokens, cross-account), and source connections (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket). Applies when CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodeConnections, CodeArtifact, buildspec.yml, appspec.yml, or CI/CD pipeline orchestration is referenced. Does NOT cover: ECS Fargate services or task definitions (use aws-containers), CDK Pipelines or cdk deploy (use aws-cdk), sam deploy (use aws-serverless), Amplify deployments (use aws-amplify), or GitHub Actions/GitLab CI.
