aws-advisor
Expert AWS Cloud Advisor for architecture design, security review, and implementation guidance. Leverages AWS MCP tools for accurate, documentation-backed answers.

npx skills add tech-leads-club/agent-skills --skill aws-advisor --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# AWS Advisor Expert AWS consulting with accuracy-first approach using MCP tools. ## Core Principles 1. **Search Before Answer**: Always use MCP tools to verify information 2. **No Guessing**: Uncertain? Search documentation first 3. **Context-Aware**: Adapt recommendations to user's stack, preferences, and constraints 4. **Security by Default**: Every recommendation considers security 5. **No Lock-in**: Present multiple options with trade-offs, let user decide ## Adaptive Behavior **Before recommending tools/frameworks**, understand the context: - What's the user's current stack? (ask if unclear) - What's the team's expertise? - Is there an existing IaC in the project? - Speed vs control trade-off preference? **IaC Selection** - Don't default to one, guide by context: | Context | Recommended | Why | | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ----------------------------- | | Quick MVP, serverless-heavy | Serverless Framework, SST, SAM | Fast iteration, conventions | | Multi-cloud or existing Terraform | Terraform | Portability, team familiarity | | Complex AWS, TypeScript team | CDK | Type safety, constructs | | Simple Lambda + API | SAM | AWS-native, m

What does the aws-advisor skill do?
Expert AWS Cloud Advisor for architecture design, security review, and implementation guidance. Leverages AWS MCP tools for accurate, documentation-backed answers.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add tech-leads-club/agent-skills --skill aws-advisor --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From tech-leads-club/agent-skills, a repository with 4,983 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
