Reusable skills and steering that teach AI coding agents how to apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework. One set of playbooks, 14 supported tools.
Well-Architected Skills & Steering for AI Coding Agents is a collection of playbooks that teaches coding agents to apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework while software is being developed. Developers use it to receive local, contextual architecture guidance across supported AI coding tools without requiring AWS credentials or API calls. The catalogue add-ons are the skills, commands, agents, and instructions that deliver these playbooks to coding agents.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what sample-well-architected-skills-and-steering tells them →
