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 | $0.00090 | $0.01284 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00045 | $0.00642 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00257 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00128 |
Grade A, and why
aws-ecs-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 5d 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 — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Amazon ECS questions are easy to answer from stale memory or Kubernetes patterns that do not apply to ECS task definitions and services. Use this skill to ground answers in the official Amazon ECS documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic container orchestration advice.
When to Use
Use this skill when the request is about:
- ECS concepts: clusters, task definitions, tasks, services, and capacity
- Creating clusters, task definitions, and running tasks or services
- Launch types: AWS Fargate, EC2, and ECS Managed Instances
- Networking: awsvpc, bridge, host modes, security groups, and Service Connect
- IAM roles: task execution role, task role, and permissions boundaries
- Container images, ECR integration, and private registry authentication
- Load balancing with ALB/NLB and service discovery (Cloud Map)
- Auto scaling for services and capacity providers
- ECS Exec, logging (awslogs, FireLens), and observability
- ECS Anywhere and external instance registration
- Blue/green and rolling deployments with CodeDeploy
- Troubleshooting task placement, health checks, and stopped tasks
Do not use this skill for:
- Kubernetes or EKS cluster operations. Use
kubernetes-docsoraws-eks-docsinstead. - Docker Engine or Compose without ECS context. Use
docker-docsinstead. - AWS CLI install or global CLI options. Use
aws-cli-docsinstead. - Lambda container image deployment. Use
aws-lambda-docsfor Lambda-specific constraints. - General IAM policy language. Use
aws-iam-docsfor IAM fundamentals.
Workflow
1. Classify the request
Decide which bucket the question belongs to before searching:
- Getting started and core concepts
- Task definitions and container definitions
- Clusters, capacity, and launch types
- Services, deployments, and scheduling
- Networking and Service Connect
- Security, IAM roles, and secrets
- Storage, volumes, and EFS/EBS integration
- Auto scaling and capacity providers
- Logging, monitoring, and ECS Exec
- ECS Anywhere and hybrid capacity
- Troubleshooting stopped tasks and placement failures
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-ecs-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository cookieMonsterDev/agents-skills (4 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 1,284 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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.
