ECS deployment tool - deploy, manage, and troubleshoot ECS services.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ecspresso Skill for LLM Agents

## Overview

ecspresso is a deployment tool for Amazon ECS. You can use it to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot ECS services through configuration files.

## Learning about ecspresso

Use the `docs` subcommand to look up how ecspresso works. This command requires no AWS credentials or config file.

```bash
# Browse the table of contents to find relevant sections
ecspresso docs --index --json

# Search for a topic by keyword
ecspresso docs --search "fargate" --json

# Read the full documentation
ecspresso docs --json
```

Always use `--json` for structured output that is easier to parse.

## Common workflows

### Check current state before making changes

```bash
# Show service status (running tasks, deployments, events)
ecspresso status --config ecspresso.yml

# Show differences between local definitions and running service
ecspresso diff --config ecspresso.yml

# Verify that resources referenced in definitions exist and are valid
ecspresso verify --config ecspresso.yml
```

### Deploy

```bash
# Preview what will change (dry-run)
ecspresso deploy --config ecspresso.yml --dry-run

# Deploy the service
ecspresso deploy --config ecspresso.yml

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kayac/ecspresso/ecspresso@sha256:8148f4a63ef3ee13

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260326.085ea68, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
