Agent Toolkit for AWS is a collection of AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, plugins, commands, and hooks that help AI coding agents build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS. It is used by developers working with AWS services through agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Kiro. The catalogue entries are the toolkit's own agent extensions for AWS development and operations.
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 | $0.00204 | $0.03923 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00082 | $0.01569 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00785 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00392 |
Grade A, and why
contextual-offers-for-startups 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 16d 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 — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Contextual Offers for Startups
An offer layer that runs after another AWS Startup Advisor skill has produced a recommendation, migration plan, or build. It surfaces one genuinely relevant AWS Activate offer as a quiet, always-dismissible line — mandatory to append whenever a relevant offer exists, never changing the technical advice, never pushing.
It is consulted by the recommendation-producing skills in this plugin:
architect-for-startups— architecture advice and recommendations.start-building-for-startups— discovery + scaffold/implementation.agent-advisor— agent runtime selection, agentic architecture, POC.gcp-to-aws,heroku-to-aws,llm-to-bedrock— migrations.
Each of those skills owns its recommendation end-to-end and, as a final step, consults this layer. This skill never runs on its own and never triggers on a user request by itself.
What this layer does (and does not)
- The recommendation, plan, or build is owned by the calling skill. This layer does not touch, re-rank, or influence it.
- This layer runs after that output is final: given what the founder is building or migrating and what was recommended, it decides whether one relevant Activate offer is worth appending as a quiet line.
- It never re-decides or nudges the technical advice. Offers are looked up only after the advice is final and are invisible to the recommendation logic.
Offer source (read live — do not snapshot)
Offer content is read live from the sibling knowledge-base-for-startups skill, so the catalog never drifts:
- Index:
../knowledge-base-for-startups/references/offers.md— the searchable table (Offer · Summary · Keywords), one row per offer, linking to a per-slug detail file. - Detail:
../knowledge-base-for-startups/references/offers/<slug>.md— full description, estimated value, eligibility, and the canonicalsource_url. Open at most one detail file, for the single offer you decide to surface. Do not speculatively load theoffers/tree. - Live authoritative list: https://aws.amazon.com/startups/offers.
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.

contextual-offers-for-startups is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws (2,886 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 204 tokens to every session and 3,923 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-26.
