Sample Agent Skills for Builders is a collection of reusable skills that extend AI coding agents with AWS, CDK, security, testing, and engineering workflows. Developers can install the skills for practical AWS development tasks or use the repository as a model for creating their own agent skills. The catalogue entries are skills and instructions from this collection.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00127 | $0.02193 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00063 | $0.01097 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00439 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00219 |
Grade A, and why
aws-agentic-ai 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 9d 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-agentic-ai — 0 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 — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AWS Bedrock AgentCore
AWS Bedrock AgentCore provides a complete platform for deploying and scaling AI agents with nine core services. This skill covers service selection, deployment patterns, and integration workflows using AWS CLI.
How to use this skill: Identify the service(s) the user needs from the table below, then read the corresponding service README before responding. For cross-service patterns (credentials, security, registry integration), check the Cross-Service Resources section. Verify AWS-specific details using the MCP documentation tools.
AWS Documentation Requirement
Always verify AWS facts using MCP tools before answering. Two documentation sources are available:
- AgentCore-specific docs (
mcp__acdocs__*) — bundled with this plugin, providessearch_agentcore_docsandfetch_agentcore_docfor AgentCore documentation - General AWS docs (
mcp__aws-mcp__*ormcp__*awsdocs*__*) — loaded via theaws-mcp-setupdependency for broader AWS documentation
Prefer the AgentCore docs MCP for AgentCore-specific questions. If MCP tools are unavailable, guide the user through the aws-mcp-setup skill's setup flow.

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-agentic-ai is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws-samples/sample-agent-skills-for-builders (47 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 127 tokens to every session and 2,193 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to aws-agentic-ai, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
