aws-recipe-authoring

aws-recipe-authoring is a skill for Claude Code from odere-pro/claude-aws-architect. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,926 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow skill for building, changing, checking, and using AWS recipe bundles stored under recipes/.recipe.json. A recipe bundle is a saved profile that scopes an AWS task to particular tools and instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update workflow recipes, verify their cross-references and schema, run validation gates, and invoke a selected recipe for AWS work.
Why use it?
It helps prevent recipes from referencing missing or outdated tools, skills, commands, or other components.

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-recipe-authoring 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to Use

Apply this skill any time a session touches a recipe bundle — authoring a new one, modifying an existing one, or using one to scope a piece of AWS work. The skill carries the full lifecycle so a single load covers the three workflows: build, update, use.

Trigger conditions:

  • A new workflow profile is needed and no existing recipe covers it (build).
  • An existing recipe references a skill, MCP, hook, or command that just changed (update).
  • A user wants to scope a session to one workflow and is choosing between recipes (use).
  • A reviewer is checking a PR that adds or modifies recipes/*.recipe.json (review-as-update).

Do not apply this skill for general AWS architecture work; use the workflow recipe itself (cdk, cost, security, kb, bedrock-ai) and the /aws orchestrator.

Procedure

Build a new recipe

  1. Scope the bundle. One workflow profile per recipe. Avoid catch-all bundles. Confirm the gap by ls recipes/ — if an existing recipe is close, prefer updating it.
  2. Pre-flight cross-references. Every referenced artefact must already exist. Run the commands in references/build-checklist.md to list available MCPs (from .mcp.json), skills (from skills/), hooks (from hooks/hooks.json), and commands (from commands/). A recipe pointing at unmerged work fails review.
  3. Write the JSON. Use references/recipe-schema.md as the authoritative field-by-field spec. Filename must be claude-aws-architect-<topic>.recipe.json; the inner name field must match the filename stem.
  4. Add substrate defaults. Every recipe should include the substrate skills aws-mcp-routing, aws-spec-grounding, aws-grounding-cache; the substrate hook aws-secret-scanner; and the substrate commands aws, aws-spec. See references/build-checklist.md for when to extend.
  5. Validate locally. Run bash tests/gates/gate-06-recipes.sh for shape. Cross-reference resolution is currently author discipline at v0.1.0; the deeper validation lands when the /aws-recipe command ships.
  6. Document. Add a playbook at docs/playbooks/<topic>-recipe-playbook.md with AWS-200, AWS-300, and AWS-500 scenarios. Add a row to the reference table in docs/recipes-guide.md §6.
  7. Commit. feat(recipes): add claude-aws-architect-<topic> bundle. The PR description must list gate 6.

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.
