aws-kb

aws-kb is a command for Claude Code from odere-pro/claude-aws-architect. It costs 40 tokens per session (669 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only lookup tool for AWS, Amazon’s cloud-computing platform, using a knowledge base of documentation, command references, procedures, comparisons, and learning guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up AWS concepts or commands, compare AWS options, find onboarding material, ask region-specific questions, or decide what to learn next.
Why use it?
It helps answer AWS questions without changing project files or cloud resources. It also keeps each lookup separate unless an existing feature’s records are being reused.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-kb scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are invoking the claude-aws-architect kb-navigator for a read-only AWS knowledge lookup, CLI reference query, comparison, onboarding pointer, or "what should I learn next" recommendation.

Inputs

  • User query: $ARGUMENTS
  • Per-feature directory (read-only, only if continuing an existing feature for ledger reuse): .claude/specs/<feature>/
  • MCP server used: kb (aws-knowledge), as configured by .mcp.json at the plugin root.

Action

Delegate to the claude-aws-architect-kb-navigator-agent subagent. The subagent owns:

  • Intent classification across lookup, cli, compare, onboard, next, region-q per references/intents.md in the aws-kb-navigator skill.
  • Narrow-tool selection on the kb MCP server via aws-mcp-routing and the per-turn 6-call budget.
  • Cache pre-check and ledger persistence via aws-grounding-cache (durable side effect; no spec-artefact writes).
  • Response assembly under the five-section template enforced by aws-kb-response: Answer → bullets-or-block → Citations → Related → Next.
  • Degraded-marker propagation (grounding-deferred, budget-exhausted, redaction-failed) verbatim to the caller.

Boundaries

  • This command does not bypass the kb-navigator: never call MCP servers or sibling specialists directly from the command body.
  • This command never writes to .claude/specs/<feature>/ other than the grounding-ledger append owned by the cache skill, and never creates a feature directory.
  • This command short-circuits when the query names an SDLC artefact (requirements, design, tasks, runbook, threat-model, ROM) or a verb-of-creation; the kb-navigator will redirect the caller to /aws rather than mixing modes.

Intent flags

  • --cli <service> — AWS CLI reference lookup; surfaces aws <service> <verb> reference and an optional SOP recipe.
  • --compare <a> vs <b> — side-by-side comparison on a stated dimension.
  • --onboard <topic> — onboarding pointer for a service or learning track around a topic.
  • --next — recommendations tied to the most recent grounding-ledger entry.
  • --deep — lift the default 250-word ceiling to 600 words.
  • (no flag) — general lookup intent.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
