Setup

Set up the AWS DevOps Agent and AWS Security Agent connections. Use when the user says “set up”, “configure”, “connect”, or when MCP tools are missing.

1 minute · 45 words

Run these skills in order:

Invoke the setup-devops-agent skill to configure the DevOps Agent MCP connection.
Invoke the setup-security-agent skill to configure the Security Agent workspace (agent space, IAM role, S3 bucket).

If the user only needs one agent, run only the relevant skill.

Install this repository

$ npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws

Skills install per repository, not per chapter — the CLI has no documented per-skill form, so we do not print one.

How this issue was made

Source

github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, branch main, last pushed 10 August 2026.

Licence

Apache-2.0 — the text of every chapter is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.

Discovery

120 chapters found by walking the repository tree for SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. 17 distinct layouts observed: plugins/aws-agents-for-devsecops/skills/*/SKILL.md, plugins/aws-agents/skills/*/SKILL.md, plugins/aws-core/skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/core-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/analytics-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/database-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/ec2-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/messaging-and-streaming-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/migration-and-modernization-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/networking-and-content-delivery-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/operations-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/resilience-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/security-and-identity-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/serverless-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/storage-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/system-table-skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/specialized-skills/web-and-mobile-development/*/SKILL.md.

Duplicates collapsed

28 mirror copies folded into their canonical chapter — republished for Alternate. Copies match on content hash and on position once a leading per-agent prefix is stripped, because the same skill is routinely shipped under a dozen agent directories with a dozen different hashes.

Issue colours

Resolved from a curated brand profile — hue 65°, chroma 0.174. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.

Heading repairs

1 repair applied to this chapter so the document has one h1 and no skipped levels:

Removed “Setup”, a leading h1 that duplicated the chapter title.

Spec compliance

Every chapter satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.

Images

Images inside a chapter come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.

Marketplace

A plugin manifest is published at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json by Amazon Web Services, declaring 4 plugins. It is read for editorial metadata only — never as the skill index, which is always the repository tree.

Signal

Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.

Agent surfaces

The whole issue is available as one markdown document at /aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws.md, and each chapter at its own .md URL.

Publication

Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
