Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00069 | $0.02236 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.01118 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00447 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00224 |
Grade A, and why
aws-cdk-development 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 6d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to aws-cdk-development — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 276 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AWS CDK Development
This skill provides comprehensive guidance for developing AWS infrastructure using the Cloud Development Kit (CDK), with integrated MCP servers for accessing latest AWS knowledge and CDK utilities.
AWS Documentation Requirement
Always verify AWS facts using MCP tools (mcp__aws-mcp__* or mcp__*awsdocs*__*) before answering. The aws-mcp-setup dependency is auto-loaded — if MCP tools are unavailable, guide the user through that skill's setup flow.
CDK-Specific MCP Guidance
AWS Labs replaced the dedicated CDK MCP server (awslabs.cdk-mcp-server) with the broader awslabs.aws-iac-mcp-server, which covers CDK alongside CloudFormation and other AWS infrastructure-as-code workflows.
For CDK construct lookups, best-practice recommendations, and pattern guidance, install awslabs.aws-iac-mcp-server. It ships in the deploy-on-aws plugin from awslabs/agent-plugins, or can be registered directly with claude mcp add aws-iac uvx awslabs.aws-iac-mcp-server@latest.
When to reach for it:
- CDK construct recommendations and API lookups
- CDK and CloudFormation best-practice patterns
- Validation of synthesized templates
- Cross-resource configuration guidance
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Creating new CDK stacks or constructs
- Refactoring existing CDK infrastructure
- Implementing Lambda functions within CDK
- Following AWS CDK best practices
- Validating CDK stack configurations before deployment
- Verifying AWS service capabilities and regional availability
Core CDK Principles
Resource Naming
CRITICAL: Do NOT explicitly specify resource names when they are optional in CDK constructs.
Why: CDK-generated names enable:
- Reusable patterns: Deploy the same construct/pattern multiple times without conflicts
- Parallel deployments: Multiple stacks can deploy simultaneously in the same region
- Cleaner shared logic: Patterns and shared code can be initialized multiple times without name collision
- Stack isolation: Each stack gets uniquely identified resources automatically
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

aws-cdk-development is a skill published in the GitHub repository 26BB/agentic-awesome-skills-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 2,236 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to aws-cdk-development, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
