aws-cdk-development

aws-cdk-development is a skill for Claude Code from saajunaid/caddis-plugin. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,166 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of aws-cdk-development, MIT.

A guide to AWS CDK, a tool for defining AWS cloud infrastructure in TypeScript or Python instead of configuring every resource by hand. CDK can generate CloudFormation templates, which AWS uses to create those resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create CDK stacks and reusable constructs, define AWS resources as code, and run tasks such as synthesising or deploying infrastructure.
Why use it?
It helps turn infrastructure changes into source code that can be reviewed, repeated, and deployed consistently.

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-cdk-development 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 26d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-stack.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 CDK Development

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for developing AWS infrastructure using the Cloud Development Kit (CDK), with integrated MCP servers for accessing latest AWS knowledge and CDK utilities.

AWS Documentation Requirement

CRITICAL: This skill requires AWS MCP tools for accurate, up-to-date AWS information.

Before Answering AWS Questions

  1. Always verify using AWS MCP tools (if available):

    • mcp__aws-mcp__aws___search_documentation or mcp__*awsdocs*__aws___search_documentation - Search AWS docs
    • mcp__aws-mcp__aws___read_documentation or mcp__*awsdocs*__aws___read_documentation - Read specific pages
    • mcp__aws-mcp__aws___get_regional_availability - Check service availability
  2. If AWS MCP tools are unavailable:

    • Guide user to configure AWS MCP: See AWS MCP Setup Guide
    • Help determine which option fits their environment:
      • Has uvx + AWS credentials → Full AWS MCP Server
      • No Python/credentials → AWS Documentation MCP (no auth)
    • If cannot determine → Ask user which option to use

Integrated MCP Servers

This skill includes the CDK MCP server automatically configured with the plugin:

AWS CDK MCP Server

When to use: For CDK-specific guidance and utilities

  • Get CDK construct recommendations
  • Retrieve CDK best practices
  • Access CDK pattern suggestions
  • Validate CDK configurations
  • Get help with CDK-specific APIs

Important: Leverage this server for CDK construct guidance and advanced CDK operations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Creating new CDK stacks or constructs
  • Refactoring existing CDK infrastructure
  • Implementing Lambda functions within CDK
  • Following AWS CDK best practices
  • Validating CDK stack configurations before deployment
  • Verifying AWS service capabilities and regional availability

Core CDK Principles

Resource Naming

CRITICAL: Do NOT explicitly specify resource names when they are optional in CDK constructs.

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.
