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, EKS & ECS Guidance

- For EKS, ECS or APEX skill requests (including one that names a single
  skill), load the skill named exactly `apex` first if it is installed: it
  routes to the matching skill and holds the shared APEX rules. The
  `/apex:*` commands of a v1 install, such as `apex:eks`, are not it. If it
  is not installed, use the matching skill directly; the router's extra
  rules are then not loaded, but the rules in this file still apply.
- Before any task, check for a relevant AWS or APEX skill.
  APEX skills are installed at `~/.claude/skills/` (Claude Code),
  `~/.kiro/skills/` (Kiro) or `~/.agents/skills/` (Codex, by a manual copy),
  or under `.claude/skills/` or `.kiro/skills/` in the project for an
  `npx apex-skills@1.3.0 --project` install. Prefer skill
  guidance over general knowledge.
- Prefer the AWS MCP Server for AWS interactions: it provides scoped
  IAM access and CloudTrail-compatible audit logging. If unavailable,
  use the AWS CLI directly.
- Prefer the EKS MCP Server for live cluster interactions: it provides
  Kubernetes API access (the self-hosted server is read-only unless run

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aws-samples/sample-apex-skills/rules/AGENTS.md@sha256:93ed1a70045d9c20

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.4542c5b, 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.
