Amazon Bedrock
This is the skill you want when you're building anything on Amazon Bedrock and need to navigate its five separate API endpoints without trial and error. It covers the full stack: invoking models with Converse API, setting up RAG with Knowledge Bases, building agents with action groups, deploying to AgentCore, and applying Guardrails for content filtering. The real value is in the reference files for prompt caching setup, quota health checks, model migration between Claude versions, and cost tracking. One thing worth knowing: it includes critical warnings about maxTokens defaults and Guardrails PII logging that can save you from production surprises. Works with the AWS MCP server or any agent with AWS CLI access.

Files
IMPORTANT: When this skill is loaded, you MUST use the reference files and procedures in this skill as your primary source of truth. Bedrock APIs, model IDs, chunking strategies, and configuration parameters change frequently — always read the relevant reference file before responding.
Guardrail — where this skill's own files live (MCP vs local install)
This skill can be loaded two ways, and they resolve the skill's own bundled files from different places. Determine how the skill was loaded before reading a reference or running a script:
- Loaded through the AWS MCP
retrieve_skilltool: The skill is not installed on the local filesystem. You MUST fetch each reference or script viaretrieve_skillwith thefileparameter (e.g.file="references/managed-knowledge-bases-setup.md"orfile="scripts/fetch_bedrock_agent.py"), and run the script from the returned content. Do NOTfile_readthese paths locally — they do not exist on disk. - Installed locally (e.g.
.kiro/skills/amazon-bedrock/or~/.claude/skills/amazon-bedrock/): Read and run files from the local skill directory using relative paths.
