# AWS CLI Skills for Claude Code
An installable [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) plugin providing comprehensive AWS CLI v2 command references — flags, types, defaults, and JSON output schemas — for 190 AWS services, sourced from official AWS documentation.
A lean **router skill** carries the CLI conventions and routes to one **sub-skill per service**, so Claude loads only the service you ask about instead of a 190-service catalog.
## Installation
### Claude Code (via plugin marketplace)
Register the marketplace, then install the plugin:
```
/plugin marketplace add chrishuffman5/awscliskills
/plugin install aws-cli@chrishuffman5
```
### Claude Code (manual)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/chrishuffman5/awscliskills.git .claude/plugins/aws-cli/
```
Auto-discovers the skill via `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`. Just describe what you need — no configuration required.
### Use the skill without installing the plugin
Claude Code also loads skills from a `skills/` directory in your project root. Copy the single `aws-cli` skill directory in:
```bash
# From your project root
cp -r /path/to/awscliskills/skills/aws-cli skills/
```
That's it — one directory gives you all 190 services. Or track it with git subtree so it stays synced with updates:
```bash
git subtree add --prefix=skills/aws-cli https://github.com/chrishuffman5/awscliskills.git main --squash
```
### Other platforms
```bash
# GitHub Copilot CLI
copilot plugin install chrishuffman5/awscliskills
# OpenAI Codex CLI
git clone https://github.com/chrishuffman5/awscliskills.git ~/.codex/skills/aws-cli/
# Gemini CLI (extension support still maturing)
gemini extensions install https://github.com/chrishuffman5/awscliskills
```
### Verify
Start a new session and ask something AWS-specific:
```
> How do I create an S3 bucket with a lifecycle policy via the CLI?
> List my ECS services and their running task counts.
> Which AWS service should I use for a CDN?
```
## How it works
- **Router** — `skills/aws-cli/SKILL.md` is the only skill registered with Claude. It holds the CLI conventions (output formats, `--query`, pagination, waiters, ARNs, env vars) plus a routing protocol, and is the only thing loaded into context at session start.
- **Per-service sub-skills** — each service is a bundled sub-skill at `skills/aws-cli/<aws-command>/SKILL.md` (e.g. `s3/`, `ec2/`, `dynamodb/`). The router reads only the one you need; the full catalog never loads up front.
- **Command groups** — within a service, files alongside `SKILL.md` (e.g. `instances.md`, `vpc.md`) hold the full per-command flags, types, defaults, and JSON output schemas.
- **Full lookup** — `skills/aws-cli/service-index.md` maps every friendly name to its sub-skill path, read only when the CLI service name isn't already known.

## Skill File Format
```
skills/aws-cli/
SKILL.md # Router: CLI conventions + routing protocol (the only registered skill)
service-index.md # Full friendly-name -> sub-skill lookup (read on demand)
ec2/ # One sub-skill directory per service (named after the `aws` command)
SKILL.md # Service overview + workflows + command-group index (+ YAML frontmatter)
index.md # Quick reference table + global options
instances.md # Per-command-group reference files
vpc.md
...
s3/
dynamodb/
... (190 service directories)
```
**SKILL.md (router)** contains:
- YAML frontmatter with `name` and `description` (used by Claude Code for skill matching)
- General CLI conventions (output formats, `--query`, pagination, waiters, ARNs, env vars)
- A routing protocol: derive `<service>/SKILL.md` from the `aws` command, or consult `service-index.md`
**\<service\>/SKILL.md** contains:
- YAML frontmatter (`name: aws-<service>`, `description`)
- Service overview and common workflow examples
- Covered command groups, and a command reference table mapping each group to its file
**\<service\>/index.md** contains:
- Quick reference table of all subcommands
- Global options reference
**\<service\>/\<group\>.md** files each contain:
- All commands in that group with description, required/optional parameter tables, and JSON output schema
Progressive disclosure — router -> `<service>/SKILL.md` -> group files — means Claude loads only the specific command groups needed for a task, instead of a monolithic reference.
