What is aws-sam-bootstrap?

A setup guide for AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM), a toolkit for defining and deploying serverless applications such as Lambda functions.

Use it to start a SAM project, migrate Lambda or CloudFormation code, create SAM templates, or test Lambda functions locally.

It provides the configuration files and checks needed to build, test, package, and deploy SAM projects without assembling the workflow from scratch.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00094	$0.00858
Opus 5.5	$0.00038	$0.00343

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-sam-bootstrap 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.

AWS SAM Bootstrap

Overview

Generates SAM project artifacts for greenfield and migration scenarios. Creates the minimum required files (template.yaml, samconfig.toml, events/), validates with sam build, and configures sam deploy workflows following AWS SAM conventions.

When to Use

User needs to start a new AWS SAM project (sam init, sam deploy)
User wants to migrate existing Lambda functions or CloudFormation resources to SAM templates
User asks about SAM CLI commands (sam init, sam build, sam local invoke, sam deploy)
User needs to create or update template.yaml or samconfig.toml for serverless deployments
User wants to configure local testing with sam local invoke for Lambda functions

Instructions

1) Classify Scenario

New project: no Lambda structure exists. Run sam init to scaffold.
Existing project migration: Lambda/CloudFormation resources exist. Create template.yaml manually.

2) Select Runtime and Package Type

Use current non-deprecated runtimes. Package type: Zip (default) or Image (container/native deps).

3) Bootstrap New Projects

sam init
sam build
sam local invoke <LogicalFunctionId> -e events/event.json
sam deploy --guided

4) Bootstrap Existing Projects

Inspect current Lambda handlers, runtime, and dependency layout
Create template.yaml with Transform: AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31
Map existing resources to AWS::Serverless::Function and related SAM resources
Create samconfig.toml with deploy defaults and environment overrides
Add events/event.json payload samples for local invocation
Validate with sam validate and sam build before deploy

5) Required Artifacts

.
├── template.yaml
├── samconfig.toml
└── events/
    └── event.json

See reference templates: examples.md, migration-checklist.md

6) Validation Checklist

sam validate succeeds
sam build succeeds
template.yaml has correct logical IDs and handlers
samconfig.toml contains deploy parameters for target environments

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.

Changes

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.
