Dsql
This gives Claude direct access to Aurora DSQL through MCP tools, so it can execute queries, manage schemas, and handle migrations without writing throwaway scripts. The skill knows DSQL's quirks: no foreign keys (you handle integrity in app code), 3,000 row transaction limits, and table recreation patterns for column drops. It covers IAM auth setup, multi-tenant isolation, and includes a MySQL migration path with type mappings. The query plan explainability workflow is unusually thorough, walking through EXPLAIN ANALYZE output with catalog queries and GUC experiments. Useful if you're building on a distributed SQL database that behaves like Postgres but has its own constraints.

Aurora DSQL Skill Moved
This standalone skill is deprecated. The canonical DSQL skill is now:
plugins/databases-on-aws/skills/dsql/SKILL.md in
awslabs/agent-plugins.
Redirect
- Check whether the canonical
dsqlskill is already available. - If it is available, read and follow its
SKILL.md, then read only the references that canonical skill routes to. - Do not combine canonical guidance with content from this deprecated standalone skill.
- If the canonical skill is unavailable, explain that the DSQL skill moved
to
awslabs/agent-plugins. - Get explicit user approval before installing anything or changing user configuration.
Repository-reading tools may read the canonical skill to provide advisory guidance. Reading its repository does not install the plugin, hooks, scripts, or MCP servers.
For Claude Code, the verified installation commands are:
/plugin marketplace add awslabs/agent-plugins
/plugin install databases-on-aws@agent-plugins-for-aws
For Codex and Cursor, use the current canonical installation instructions.
