Reviews AWS architectures, IaC, and design docs against the AWS Well-Architected Framework's six pillars, producing a findings report with pillar-mapped risks (High/Medium) and concrete remediation. Loads only the pillars relevant to the change. Use for AWS architecture reviews, not generic code review. Triggers on: "well-architected review", "review this AWS architecture", "WAR review", "check this design against AWS best practices", "review my Terraform/CDK for AWS pitfalls…
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 Well-Architected Review Run a lightweight Well-Architected review on a concrete artifact — an architecture diagram/description, Terraform/CDK/CloudFormation, or a design doc — and report risks the way the official framework does: per pillar, severity-rated, each with a specific remediation. This is an engineering review to catch issues early; it complements (does not replace) a formal Well-Architected Tool review with an AWS SA. ## Pillar Selection Load only what the change touches — typically 2-4 pillars, not all six: | Change involves | Load | |-----------------|------| | IAM, network exposure, data handling, secrets | [references/security.md](references/security.md) | | Availability targets, failover, backups, DR | [references/reliability.md](references/reliability.md) | | Instance/database sizing, scaling, latency paths | [references/performance.md](references/performance.md) | | Spend-relevant choices: sizing, storage classes, data transfer, commitment plans | [references/cost.md](references/cost.md) | | Deployment, observability, runbooks, IaC hygiene | [references/operations.md](references/operations.md) | …

How to install
mdr add timwukp/agent-skills-best-practice/aws-well-architected-review@sha256:aa1f0bf8d6fe73bfThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
