Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads aws-skills automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
AWS Skill Collection Workflow
When to Use
- You need to choose an AWS architecture or infrastructure workflow for an existing application.
- You want to review an infrastructure plan before any cloud change.
Workflow
- Establish the application requirements, existing AWS services, target account/region, constraints, and required outcome. Read the project's infrastructure definitions before proposing changes.
- Open the upstream AWS skill collection and select the workflow matching the actual services and infrastructure framework. This catalog entry is a routing workflow; it does not bundle every upstream skill.
- Read that workflow's prerequisites and referenced documentation. For an existing deployment, request authorized read-only inventory or use user-provided configuration; do not infer account identity from names.
- Produce an architecture or infrastructure plan with resource boundaries, IAM access, networking, cost assumptions, and a validation/rollback plan. Distinguish observed configuration from proposed changes.
- Review the plan with the user before any operation that creates, modifies, or deletes cloud resources. Follow the selected tool's current documentation and the project's normal review/deployment process.
- Verify the result against the requested requirements and report which checks ran, which were simulated, and which require deployment access.
Example
Review this application's AWS infrastructure and propose a least-privilege change plan. Read configuration first; do not deploy.
Limitations
- The upstream collection is an external prerequisite; report inaccessible guidance instead of inventing its instructions.
- Planning does not prove a deployment works. Never claim account, pricing, permissions, or availability without current evidence.
- Cloud changes require the user's authorized scope and the project's deployment controls.

Debug Azure production issues on Azure using AppLens, Azure Monitor, resource health, and safe triage. WHEN: debug production issues, troubleshoot app service, app service high CPU, app service deployment failure, troubleshoot container apps, container app 503 or target port mismatch, troubleshoot functions, function telemetry missing or stopped after a config/connection-string change, troubleshoot AKS, VM RDP, Linux SSH, VM black screen, can't connect to VM, reset VM password, NSG or firewall blocking, kubectl cannot connect, kube-system/CoreDNS failures, pod pending, crashloop, node not ready, upgrade failures, analyze logs, KQL, insights, image pull failures, cold start issues, health probe failures, resource health, root cause of errors, troubleshoot event hubs, troubleshoot service bus, messaging SDK error, AMQP connection failure, message lock lost, lock renewal during long-running processing, service bus dead letter.
azure-prepare
microsoft/azure-skills
Prepare azd-based Azure projects for deployment: generates azure.yaml, infrastructure (Bicep/Terraform), and Dockerfiles for the Azure Developer CLI (azd) workflow. USE ONLY when the user explicitly wants to use azd as the deployment tool, or the project already has an azure.yaml file. DO NOT USE FOR: non-azd deployments, Python App Service code-only deploys (use python-appservice-deploy), or cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: prepare app for azd, create azure.yaml, set up azd infrastructure, modernize app for Azure with azd, deploy with azd, function app, timer trigger, service bus trigger, event-driven function, managed identity, generate Bicep, generate Terraform, create and deploy to Azure.

azure-deploy
microsoft/azure-skills
Execute Azure deployments for ALREADY-PREPARED applications that have existing .azure/deployment-plan.md and infrastructure files. DO NOT use this skill when the user asks to CREATE a new application — use azure-prepare instead. This skill runs azd up, azd deploy, terraform apply, and az deployment commands with built-in error recovery. Requires .azure/deployment-plan.md from azure-prepare and validated status from azure-validate. WHEN: "run azd up", "run azd deploy", "execute deployment", "push to production", "push to cloud", "go live", "ship it", "bicep deploy", "terraform apply", "publish to Azure", "launch on Azure". DO NOT USE WHEN: "create and deploy", "build and deploy", "create a new app", "set up infrastructure", "create and deploy to Azure using Terraform" — use azure-prepare for these.
azure-validate
microsoft/azure-skills
Pre-deployment validation for Azure readiness. Run deep checks on configuration, infrastructure (Bicep or Terraform), RBAC role assignments, managed identity permissions, and prerequisites before deploying. WHEN: validate my app, check deployment readiness, run preflight checks, verify configuration, check if ready to deploy, validate azure.yaml, validate Bicep, test before deploying, troubleshoot deployment errors, validate Azure Functions, validate function app, validate serverless deployment, verify RBAC roles, check role assignments, review managed identity permissions, what-if analysis, validate Container Apps deployment.
