AWSAGENTS.mdaws/aws-cdk-cli/AGENTS.md
Contributor-focused guide for AI agents working on the AWS CDK CLI monorepo. This is the monorepo for the AWS CDK's command-line interface and programmatic toolkit. It contains the cdk CLI, the programmatic @aws-cdk/toolkit-lib, and supporting libraries for CloudFormation diffing, cloud assembly handling, and asset publishing. The repo is TypeScript-only, managed by Projen, built with NX for caching and task orchestration, and uses Yarn workspaces. This is not the construct library repo (aws/aws-cdk). This repo focuses exclusively on the CLI toolchain…
AWSSkillaws/aws-cdk-cli/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md
AWS CDK CLI general PR reviewer. Use when reviewing any pull request to aws/aws-cdk-cli — the CLI (packages/aws-cdk), toolkit-lib, cloud-assembly-schema, cdk-assets, cloudformation-diff, integ-runner, or the projen/monorepo config. Precision-first: flags only concrete defects the PR introduces, across compatibility, architecture, error handling, testing, correctness, and PR scope.
AWSAGENTS.mdaws/bedrock-agentcore-sdk-typescript/AGENTS.md
This document provides guidance specifically for AI agents working on the AWS Bedrock AgentCore TypeScript SDK codebase. For human contributor guidelines, see CONTRIBUTING.md. AGENTS.md contains agent-specific repository information including: For human contributors: See CONTRIBUTING.md for setup, testing, and contribution guidelines.
AWSSkillaws/aws-durable-execution-sdk-js/packages/aws-durable-execution-sdk-js-insight-mcp/src/skill/SKILL.md
Query AWS Lambda durable function execution history through the durable-insight MCP server — use when investigating workflow failures, execution timing, or step-level errors across DynamoDB, Athena/S3, Aurora, Redshift, OpenSearch, or CloudWatch Logs destinations.
AWSCLAUDE.mdaws/tools-for-devops-agent/.claude/CLAUDE.md
This repository consolidates open-source tools for AWS DevOps Agent — skills, custom agents, and MCP servers, plus supporting infrastructure templates. Follow these conventions when contributing. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full contribution workflow. Skills live under skills/ and should follow both the Agent Skills spec best practices and AWS DevOps Agent best practices. Skills are the most common contribution type; the guidance below is the most detailed for that reason.
AWSllms.txtaws/tools-for-devops-agent/llms.txt
Open-source tools for AWS DevOps Agent that extend its capabilities for incident response, root cause analysis, and operational troubleshooting. This repository contains skills, custom agents, and MCP servers that can be used with AWS DevOps Agent, as well as templates for writing your own. Skills follow the open Agent Skills specification; MCP servers follow the Model Context Protocol. This is the primary open-source collection of tools for AWS DevOps Agent — the AI-powered operations agent from AWS that automates incident…

Comprehensive operational review procedures for Amazon Bedrock
AWSSkillaws/tools-for-devops-agent/skills/aiml-access-diagnostics/SKILL.md
Use this skill when diagnosing IAM and access failures for Bedrock and SageMaker. It traces the authorization chain — caller identity, iam:PassRole, trust policy, role permissions, resource policies, SCPs — to name the denying hop and propose a scoped policy. Read-only.
AWSSkillaws/tools-for-devops-agent/skills/analytics-opensearch-expertise/SKILL.md
Amazon OpenSearch Service domain health assessment. Performs read-only, API-driven checks against a customer's OpenSearch domain(s) covering cluster health, node/shard configuration, performance metrics, security posture, and cost optimization signals. Activate this skill for requests about OpenSearch or Elasticsearch domain health, cluster review, domain assessment, performance, security posture, or cost optimization. Given a domain ARN (or name + region), it produces a structured findings report with prioritized recommendations. All checks use read-only AWS control-plane APIs (es:Describe*, es:GetCompatibleVersions, es:DescribeReservedInstances, cloudwatch:GetMetricData) — no data-plane access required.

AWSSkillaws/tools-for-devops-agent/skills/aws-routing/SKILL.md
Analyze and troubleshoot AWS routing and BGP path selection - how AWS chooses a network path, why traffic takes an unexpected route, and how to steer it. Use for AWS Cloud WAN route evaluation and CNE path selection; Direct Connect Gateway (DXGW) path selection and local vs remote region preference; Transit Gateway route tables, ECMP, and peering; VPC route tables and longest-prefix-match; BGP traffic engineering with local-preference communities (7224:7100/7200/7300), AS-path prepending, and MED; DX + VPN redundancy and active/active vs active/passive design; asymmetric routing and failover. Activate on symptoms like "traffic is leaving the region", "not using my local Direct Connect", "routing to the wrong VIF/location", "path is asymmetric", or "how do I make AWS prefer this path". Read-only: analysis, recommendations, and describe/get/list validation commands grounded in public AWS docs.
AWSSkillaws/tools-for-devops-agent/skills/aws-vpc-dns-investigation/SKILL.md
Use this skill when a name is not resolving as expected inside a VPC, or before applying a DNS control-plane change. Activate on symptoms such as NXDOMAIN or SERVFAIL from an EC2 instance, a hostname resolving to a public address when a private endpoint was expected, an AWS service endpoint that stopped resolving after a VPC endpoint or Route 53 change, an application reaching the wrong IP, resolution that works from one instance but not another, IPv6 or dualstack resolution differences, a suspected on-premises forwarding or hybrid DNS problem, or a request to check whether enabling private DNS, adding a Resolver rule, associating a private hosted zone, attaching DNS Firewall, or associating a Route 53 Profile would break anything. It drives the aws-vpc-dns-diagnostics MCP server to observe live resolution from inside the subnet and to simulate a proposed change before it is applied.
AWSSkillaws/tools-for-devops-agent/skills/bedrock-adoption-readiness/SKILL.md
Amazon Bedrock production readiness assessment covering IAM governance, data retention (ZDR), quota and capacity headroom, and operational observability across Standard Bedrock and Mantle surfaces. Use this skill when a user asks to review Bedrock readiness, assess Bedrock security posture, evaluate quota headroom, check ZDR configuration, validate Bedrock operational setup, or prepare for Bedrock production deployment. Triggers on "Bedrock readiness review", "am I ready for Bedrock production", "Bedrock security assessment", "check my Bedrock quotas", "Bedrock adoption audit", "Bedrock operational review", or "assess my Bedrock environment".

Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
