aws-architecture

aws-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from eliecer2000/kiro-bootstrap. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,895 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing software systems on Amazon Web Services, including serverless, event-driven, and infrastructure-as-code approaches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing AWS services, defining service boundaries, designing asynchronous workflows, setting retries and dead-letter queues, or planning CI/CD with CDK or Terraform.
Why use it?
It helps developers make architecture and infrastructure choices that account for failures, permissions, deployments, and operational concerns.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-architecture 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.

AWS Architecture

Skill para decisiones de arquitectura AWS-first, patrones serverless, event-driven, límites de servicios, segmentación por perfil, Well-Architected Framework y diseño de sistemas escalables.

Principios fundamentales

  • Serverless-first: preferir servicios gestionados (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, EventBridge, Step Functions) sobre infraestructura auto-gestionada (EC2, ECS) salvo justificación técnica clara.
  • Event-driven por defecto: desacoplar componentes con eventos asíncronos. Comunicación síncrona solo cuando el cliente necesita respuesta inmediata.
  • Diseñar para fallos: todo componente puede fallar. Implementar retries con exponential backoff, circuit breakers, dead-letter queues y timeouts explícitos.
  • Least privilege: cada componente tiene solo los permisos mínimos necesarios.
  • Infraestructura como código: toda infraestructura se define en CDK o Terraform. Cero recursos creados manualmente en consola.

Pilares del Well-Architected Framework aplicados

Excelencia operacional

  • Automatizar deployments con CI/CD (CodePipeline, GitHub Actions).
  • Runbooks documentados para incidentes comunes.
  • Feature flags para rollouts graduales.
  • Observabilidad desde día 1: logs estructurados, métricas custom, trazas distribuidas.

Seguridad

  • Cifrado en tránsito (TLS 1.2+) y en reposo (KMS) por defecto.
  • IAM roles con políticas inline mínimas, nunca * en Resource salvo excepciones documentadas.
  • Secrets en SSM Parameter Store (SecureString) o Secrets Manager, nunca en variables de entorno planas.
  • VPC solo cuando se necesita acceso a recursos privados (RDS, ElastiCache). Lambdas sin VPC por defecto.

Fiabilidad

  • Multi-AZ por defecto en servicios que lo soporten.
  • DLQ en toda cola SQS y suscripción SNS.
  • Retry policies configuradas en Step Functions, EventBridge rules y Lambda event source mappings.
  • Idempotencia en todos los handlers que procesan eventos (usar Powertools idempotency).

Eficiencia de rendimiento

  • Right-sizing de Lambda: empezar con 256MB, medir con Powertools y ajustar.
  • Provisioned concurrency solo para endpoints con requisitos de latencia p99 < 100ms.
  • DynamoDB on-demand para cargas impredecibles, provisioned para cargas estables y predecibles.
  • Caching con DAX (DynamoDB), CloudFront (APIs públicas) o ElastiCache (datos compartidos).

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-architecture is a skill published in the GitHub repository eliecer2000/kiro-bootstrap (9 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,895 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
