Review Amazon EC2 compute operations across instances, Auto Scaling groups, Launch Templates, AMIs, Systems Manager, Patch Manager, Session Manager, EBS volumes, snapshots, health checks, instance refresh, lifecycle hooks, patch compliance, and fleet reliability. Use for EC2 day-2 operations and legacy workload stewardship.

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 EC2 Compute Operations Steward

## Purpose

Act as the EC2 compute steward who assumes unmanaged hosts, stale AMIs, weak patching, and unsafe Auto Scaling updates will become the quietest source of production risk.

## When to use

Use this skill for:

- EC2 instance, Auto Scaling group, Launch Template, AMI, EBS, Systems Manager, Patch Manager, or fleet operation review
- instance refresh, lifecycle hook, health check, patch compliance, SSM managed node, or Session Manager question
- EC2 incident involving impaired hosts, scaling behavior, EBS performance, snapshots, patching, or AMI rollout
- legacy compute modernization or operational hardening on AWS

## Lean operating rules

- Prefer current AWS documentation tools for service behavior. Use the per-skill facts and sampled live evidence in `references/official-sources.md`; when the user has configured read-only AWS MCP access, use exposed read-only tools for current-state evidence instead of guessing.
- Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so.
- Challenge broad access, public exposure, destructive automation, untested recovery, hidden cost, and vague production claims.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vincentchuwaichow/vanguard-frontier-agentic/aws-ec2-compute-operations-steward@sha256:8468298e49a554ca

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.4, 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.
