Operate AWS accounts and services with the AWS CLI using identity-first, read-before-write, evidence-backed workflows. Use for AWS CLI inspection, incident diagnosis, deployment verification, and explicitly authorized changes across IAM, STS, Organizations, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, Route 53, ALB/ELBv2, EC2, EBS, SSM, ECS, and related services, including reset-password or --reset-password when an IAM console password must be reset and stored with gopass.

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

# AWS

Use the installed `aws` CLI for AWS inspection, diagnosis, and explicitly authorized changes.

## Route the request

- For `reset-password` or `--reset-password`, read [references/reset-password.md](references/reset-password.md) completely and use the `vd:gopass` skill.
- For Secrets Manager value changes, application credential rotation, one-off ECS provisioning, or ECS Exec that may touch a secret, read [references/credential-operations.md](references/credential-operations.md) completely.
- For public endpoint tracing, incidents, cleanup, or cross-service verification, read [references/daily-operations.md](references/daily-operations.md), then load the service references it selects.
- For Lambda, API Gateway, Function URLs, SQS, DLQs, serverless promotion, or retirement, read [references/serverless.md](references/serverless.md).
- For Route 53, ALB/ELBv2, target groups, EC2, EBS, or SSM, read [references/compute-networking.md](references/compute-networking.md).
- For CloudWatch, CloudTrail, S3, log analysis, audit correlation, or object verification, read [references/observability-storage.md](references/observability-storage.md).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vanducng/skills/aws@sha256:dbd591a13df1c997

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, 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.
