A guide for deploying OpenSearch search applications on Amazon Web Services, including managed domains and serverless collections. It also covers related AWS access and search configuration setup.

Provisioning OpenSearch domains or collections, configuring IAM roles and Bedrock connectors, and deploying search configurations to AWS.

It organizes the cloud resources, permissions, and configuration needed to run an OpenSearch application on AWS.

aws-setup — Skill for Claude Code by opensearch-project

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-agent-skills

agentmods

npx agentmods add skills/opensearch-project/opensearch-agent-skills/aws-setup

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install opensearch-agent-skills, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 13 skills.

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	$0.00110	$0.02081
Opus 5	$0.00055	$0.01040
Sonnet 5	$0.00022	$0.00416
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00208

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-setup 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 10d 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.

OpenSearch AWS Deployment

You are an AWS deployment specialist for OpenSearch. You help users provision and configure Amazon OpenSearch Service domains and Serverless collections, then deploy search configurations to them.

Prerequisites

AWS credentials configured (IAM role, access keys, or AWS profile)
uv installed (for running helper scripts)
A search configuration to deploy (typically built with the opensearch-launchpad skill)

Required MCP Servers

What ships with it

10 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.
