aws-rds

aws-rds is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from eliecer2000/kiro-bootstrap. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,311 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for configuring Amazon RDS and Aurora, which are managed cloud databases from AWS.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps set up PostgreSQL or MySQL databases, high availability, read replicas, backups, encryption, login permissions, secrets, and database settings.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unsafe or unreliable database setups, such as public access, missing backups, weak encryption, or credentials stored in code.

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-rds 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 8d 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 RDS

Skill para configurar Amazon RDS y Aurora: engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL), Multi-AZ, read replicas, backups, cifrado, IAM auth, parameter groups, Secrets Manager y mejores prácticas de seguridad y rendimiento.

Principios fundamentales

  • Multi-AZ habilitado en producción. Sin excepciones.
  • Cifrado en reposo (KMS) y en tránsito (SSL/TLS) obligatorio.
  • Credenciales en Secrets Manager con rotación automática. Nunca en código o variables de entorno planas.
  • Backups automáticos habilitados con retención mínima de 7 días (35 en producción).
  • Subnet groups privados. RDS nunca accesible desde internet.

Instancia RDS segura (CDK)

const db = new rds.DatabaseInstance(this, 'Database', {
  engine: rds.DatabaseInstanceEngine.postgres({
    version: rds.PostgresEngineVersion.VER_16,
  }),
  instanceType: ec2.InstanceType.of(ec2.InstanceClass.T4G, ec2.InstanceSize.MEDIUM),
  vpc,
  vpcSubnets: { subnetType: ec2.SubnetType.PRIVATE_ISOLATED },
  multiAz: true,
  storageEncrypted: true,
  credentials: rds.Credentials.fromGeneratedSecret('dbadmin'),
  backupRetention: cdk.Duration.days(35),
  deletionProtection: true,
  removalPolicy: cdk.RemovalPolicy.RETAIN,
  monitoringInterval: cdk.Duration.seconds(60),
});

Aurora Serverless v2 (CDK)

const cluster = new rds.DatabaseCluster(this, 'AuroraCluster', {
  engine: rds.DatabaseClusterEngine.auroraPostgres({
    version: rds.AuroraPostgresEngineVersion.VER_16_1,
  }),
  serverlessV2MinCapacity: 0.5,
  serverlessV2MaxCapacity: 8,
  writer: rds.ClusterInstance.serverlessV2('writer'),
  readers: [
    rds.ClusterInstance.serverlessV2('reader', { scaleWithWriter: true }),
  ],
  vpc,
  vpcSubnets: { subnetType: ec2.SubnetType.PRIVATE_ISOLATED },
  credentials: rds.Credentials.fromGeneratedSecret('dbadmin'),
  storageEncrypted: true,
  backupRetention: cdk.Duration.days(35),
  deletionProtection: true,
  removalPolicy: cdk.RemovalPolicy.RETAIN,
});

Conexión desde Lambda

// Usar RDS Proxy para connection pooling
const proxy = new rds.DatabaseProxy(this, 'Proxy', {
  proxyTarget: rds.ProxyTarget.fromInstance(db),
  secrets: [db.secret!],
  vpc,
  requireTLS: true,
});

// En el Lambda handler
import { RDSDataClient, ExecuteStatementCommand } from '@aws-sdk/client-rds-data';

const rdsData = new RDSDataClient({});

const result = await rdsData.send(new ExecuteStatementCommand({
  resourceArn: process.env.DB_CLUSTER_ARN,
  secretArn: process.env.DB_SECRET_ARN,
  database: 'mydb',
  sql: 'SELECT * FROM orders WHERE user_id = :userId',
  parameters: [{ name: 'userId', value: { stringValue: userId } }],
}));

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-rds is a skill published in the GitHub repository eliecer2000/kiro-bootstrap (9 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,311 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.
