aws-serverless

aws-serverless is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building AWS serverless systems, where services such as Lambda run code in response to requests or events without developers managing servers directly.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for designing Lambda handlers, EventBridge and SQS flows, Step Functions, retry and dead-letter settings, idempotent processing, and resource limits.
Why use it?
It addresses retries, duplicate processing, throttling, cold starts, and partial failures that can make event-driven systems unreliable or expensive. It also helps determine when serverless is not a good fit.

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-serverless 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 Serverless

Purpose

Build serverless systems that handle retries and partial failure correctly. The platform will retry your function; whether that is harmless is entirely your design decision.

When to Use

  • Building event-driven or API workloads on Lambda.
  • Designing an event flow with EventBridge, SQS, or Step Functions.
  • Diagnosing duplicate processing, throttling, or cold-start latency.
  • Deciding whether serverless is the right model at all.

Capabilities

  • Lambda design: handler structure, concurrency, memory tuning, cold starts.
  • Event sources: API Gateway, EventBridge, SQS, S3, DynamoDB Streams.
  • Idempotency and partial-batch failure handling.
  • Orchestration with Step Functions.
  • Cost and limit awareness.

Inputs

  • The workload shape: request/response, event-driven, or batch.
  • Volume, burstiness, and latency requirements.
  • Whether the operation is naturally idempotent.

Outputs

  • Handlers that are safe under at-least-once delivery.
  • Explicit DLQs and retry configuration on every asynchronous source.
  • A concurrency and memory configuration chosen by measurement.

Workflow

  1. Assume the function will run twice — SQS is at-least-once. EventBridge is at-least-once. Asynchronous Lambda invocations retry twice by default. Idempotency is not optional.
  2. Report partial batch failures — With SQS batches, a single failed message re-delivers the entire batch unless you return batchItemFailures. That is how one poison message causes ten thousand duplicate side effects.
  3. Keep the handler thin — Parse the event, call a plain function, map the result. The business logic should be testable without a Lambda context.
  4. Initialize outside the handler — Database clients, SDK clients, and config are reused across warm invocations. Creating them per invocation is a per-request cost you pay forever.
  5. Tune memory by measurement — Memory determines CPU. A function at 1024 MB often finishes in a third of the time of one at 256 MB, for the same or lower total cost.
  6. Set the DLQ and the alarm — An asynchronous function without a DLQ silently discards events after its retries. You will not know.

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-serverless is a skill published in the GitHub repository nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection (26 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,234 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 2026-09-03.
