aws-cloudformation-cloudwatch SKILL.md skillA
aws-cloudformation-cloudwatch from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit/aws-cloudformation-cloudwatch@git:20260324.a02e282Pins git:20260324.a02e282 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Provides AWS CloudFormation patterns for CloudWatch monitoring, metrics, alarms, dashboards, logs, and observability. Use when creating CloudWatch metrics, alarms, dashboards, log groups, log subscriptions, anomaly detection, synthesized canaries, Application Signals, and implementing template structure with Parameters, Outputs, Mappings, Conditions, cross-stack references, and CloudWatch best practices for monitoring production infrastructure.
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 CloudFormation CloudWatch Monitoring
## Overview
Creates CloudWatch monitoring infrastructure using CloudFormation templates: metrics, alarms, dashboards, log groups, anomaly detection, synthesized canaries, and Application Signals.
## When to Use
- Creating CloudWatch metrics and alarms for production infrastructure
- Building CloudWatch dashboards for multi-region visualization
- Implementing log groups with retention, encryption, and metric filters
- Configuring anomaly detection and composite alarms
- Setting up cross-stack references with Parameters and Outputs
- Validating and deploying monitoring stacks with CloudFormation
## Instructions
Follow these steps to create CloudWatch monitoring infrastructure with CloudFormation:
### 1. Define Alarm Parameters
Specify metric namespaces, dimensions, and threshold values:
```yaml
Parameters:
ErrorRateThreshold:
Type: Number
Default: 5
Description: Error rate threshold for alarms (percentage)
LatencyThreshold:
Type: Number
Default: 1000
Description: Latency threshold in milliseconds
CpuUtilizationThreshold:
Type: Number
Default: 80

How to install
mdr add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit/aws-cloudformation-cloudwatch@sha256:40412322797ecbbdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260324.a02e282, 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.
