dynamodb
AWS DynamoDB NoSQL database for scalable data storage. Use when designing table schemas, writing queries, configuring indexes, managing capacity, implementing single-table design, or troubleshooting performance issues.
npx skills add itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills --skill dynamodb --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# AWS DynamoDB Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service providing fast, predictable performance at any scale. It supports key-value and document data structures. ## Table of Contents - [Core Concepts](#core-concepts) - [Common Patterns](#common-patterns) - [CLI Reference](#cli-reference) - [Best Practices](#best-practices) - [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) - [References](#references) ## Core Concepts ### Keys | Key Type | Description | |----------|-------------| | **Partition Key (PK)** | Required.

What does the dynamodb skill do?
AWS DynamoDB NoSQL database for scalable data storage. Use when designing table schemas, writing queries, configuring indexes, managing capacity, implementing single-table design, or troubleshooting performance issues.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills --skill dynamodb --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 itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills, a repository with 1,139 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.
