Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00084 | $0.01611 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00644 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00322 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00161 |
Grade C, and why
aws-cdk scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
| **ConcurrentReadLock / ConcurrentWriteLock** | `rm -rf cdk.out` then re-run. Parallel CI: `--output ./cdk.out.$BUILD_ID`. [Details](references/troubleshooting-synth.md) | This is a copy
98% identical to aws-cdk — 30 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

AWS CDK
Overview
Domain expertise for CDK construct authoring, deployment workflows, compliance, drift, importing resources, safe refactoring, and troubleshooting CDK CLI / CloudFormation errors.
When NOT to use: Raw CloudFormation YAML/JSON. SAM. Terraform/Pulumi. CI/CD beyond CDK Pipelines. Use builtin knowledge or specialized skills for these.
Critical Warnings
Deadly embrace: Removing a cross-stack reference deadlocks deployment (Export ... cannot be deleted as it is in use by ...). Preferred fix: weaken the reference first — CrossStackReferences.of($RESOURCE).produce(ReferenceStrength.BOTH) then WEAK, then remove (three deploys). Legacy fallback: two-deploy this.exportValue() recipe. See troubleshooting-deployment.
Construct ID changes cause replacement: Renaming/moving a construct changes its logical ID → CloudFormation replaces the resource (data loss for stateful resources). Always cdk diff before deploy. See refactor-and-prevent-replacement.
UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED: Stack is stuck. Fix with cdk rollback $STACK or cdk rollback $STACK --orphan <LogicalId>. See troubleshooting-deployment.
Non-empty S3 buckets persist after destroy: You MUST set both removalPolicy: DESTROY and autoDeleteObjects: true. Versioned buckets are worse — delete markers persist even after apparent deletion.
Common Workflows
| Task | Quick Command | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Bootstrap | cdk bootstrap aws://$ACCOUNT/$REGION |
bootstrap-and-project-setup |
| New TS project | cdk init app --language typescript — use tsx, eslint-plugin-awscdk |
bootstrap-and-project-setup |
| New Python project | cdk init app --language python — pin deps, use virtualenv |
bootstrap-and-project-setup |
| Deploy | cdk synth --strict → cdk diff → cdk deploy |
Always diff before deploy to prod |
| cdk-nag | Aspects.of(app).add(new AwsSolutionsChecks()) |
compliance-and-drift |
| Drift | cdk drift $STACK (use --fail in CI) |
compliance-and-drift |
| Import resource | cdk import (interactive or --resource-mapping for CI), cdk deploy --import-existing-resources |
import-and-migrate |
| Refactor safely | cdk refactor --unstable=refactor — no property changes in same deploy |
refactor-and-prevent-replacement |

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.

aws-cdk is a skill published in the GitHub repository XyrusCode/ai-sync (2 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 1,611 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). It is 98% identical to aws-cdk, differing in 30 lines, and is treated as a copy.
