What is it for?
Use it to look up AWS services, command-line usage, procedures, configuration comparisons, regional availability, quotas, API details, or suggested next topics.
Why use it?
It helps answer AWS questions from the relevant reference material without creating or changing project specification files.

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-kb-navigator 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 12d 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.

When to Use

Apply this skill any time an agent must answer a read-only AWS knowledge question that does not produce SDLC artefacts. Use it when the user asks "what is X", "show me the CLI for X", "compare A vs B", "onboard me to X", "what should I learn next about X", or "is X available in region Y". Do not apply this skill when the prompt names an SDLC artefact (requirements, design, tasks, threat model, ROM); route those to the orchestrator's full-depth path instead.

Trigger conditions:

  • The agent must answer a factual AWS question that maps to a documentation page (service overview, capability, quota, ARN shape, region availability, API verb).
  • The agent must surface an AWS CLI command reference or a recipe-style SOP for a stated task.
  • The agent must compare two AWS services or two configurations of the same service on a stated dimension.
  • The agent must produce an onboarding pointer for a service or a learning track around a topic.
  • The agent must recommend related or next-step topics tied to a previous lookup recorded in the grounding ledger.
  • The previous KB call timed out, returned 5xx, or exhausted the 6-call budget — a degraded-mode decision is required.

Procedure

  1. Classify intent. Read the user prompt and any explicit flag (--cli, --compare, --onboard, --next, --deep). Choose one of the six intents in references/intents.md: lookup, cli, compare, onboard, next, region-q. Default when no flag fires and the prompt is a verb-of-inquiry: lookup.
  2. Pick the narrowest KB tool. Apply the aws-mcp-routing skill against the chosen intent's tool sequence. The intent → tool map is in references/intents.md. Use the short server key kb exclusively; never call other servers from this skill.
  3. Cache pre-check. For every planned kb call, query aws-grounding-cache first. A cached-fresh hit short-circuits the live call and reuses its citation. A cached-stale or missing entry proceeds to the live call.
  4. Issue the call within the per-call timeout declared by kb in .mcp.json. Decrement the per-turn budget on every issued call. The per-turn budget is 6 KB calls. The seventh required call triggers budget-exhausted and returns control to the agent's caller.
  5. Persist to the ledger via aws-grounding-cache. TTL classes by intent: immutable for service-overview and CLI-reference reads, region for list_regions / get_regional_availability, api-shape for SOP retrievals from retrieve_agent_sop. Apply the redaction policy on insert; on a redaction failure abort the write and emit redaction-failed.
  6. Assemble the response under the fixed five-section template enforced by aws-kb-response.instructions.md: a one- or two-sentence Answer, exactly one of (3–7 bullets OR a short code/CLI block), a Citations line carrying the <server>:<short-key> references, an up-to-five-item Related list, and an up-to-three-item Next list. Default ceiling is 250 words; --deep lifts it to 600.
  7. Surface degraded markers when emitted. grounding-deferred, budget-exhausted, and redaction-failed are returned to the agent's caller verbatim and never absorbed.

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.
