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 | $0.00100 | $0.01212 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00040 | $0.00485 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00242 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00121 |
Grade A, and why
aws-cli-docs 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 1mo 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AWS CLI questions are easy to answer from stale memory or v1 syntax. Use this skill to ground answers in the official AWS CLI documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of guessing service-specific console steps.
When to Use
Use this skill when the request is about:
- Installing, upgrading, or uninstalling AWS CLI version 2
- Configuring credentials, profiles, regions, and output formats
- Authentication with access keys, IAM roles, SSO, or external credential processes
- Command structure, parameters, pagination, filtering, and output control
- JMESPath
--query,--output, and return codes - Interactive features: command prompts, wizards, and aliases
- Retries, proxies, endpoints, and environment variables
- Shell completion and scripting patterns
- Migrating scripts from AWS CLI v1 to v2
- Troubleshooting install, configure, or runtime errors
- Service-specific CLI command syntax (via the command reference)
Do not use this skill for:
- AWS SDK application code unless the question is specifically about shared AWS CLI/SDK configuration or credentials.
- AWS Management Console UI walkthroughs when the user needs CLI commands instead.
- Infrastructure-as-code tools (CloudFormation, CDK, Terraform) unless the question is about invoking AWS via the CLI.
- Non-AWS command-line tools such as
kubectl,docker, orredis-cli.
Workflow
1. Classify the request
Decide which bucket the question belongs to before searching:
- Getting started and installation
- Configuration, credentials, and profiles
- Command usage, parameters, and structure
- Output formatting, filtering, and pagination
- Authentication (SSO, roles, external processes)
- Interactive features and scripting helpers
- Migration from CLI v1 to v2
- Troubleshooting and return codes
- Service-specific command reference
If you need a quick starting point, load references/topic-map.md and jump to the closest section.
2. Search official AWS CLI docs first
- Treat
docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latestas the source of truth for AWS CLI. - Prefer the user guide at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/ for concepts and workflows.
- Prefer the command reference at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ for service operation syntax.
- Search with the user's exact terms plus focused CLI phrases such as
--profile,--query,aws configure sso,credential_process, or--no-cli-pager. - When multiple pages are plausible, compare 2-3 candidate pages and pick the one that most directly answers the user's question.
- For v1-to-v2 migration questions, check the migration guide before answering from v1 behavior.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-cli-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository cookieMonsterDev/agents-skills (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 1,212 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
