Aws Serverless Eda

This one's a solid foundation for building AWS serverless apps the right way, grounded in Well-Architected principles. It covers the full stack: Lambda with TypeScript or Python, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions, EventBridge, SQS, and SNS. What I like is it pushes you toward proper patterns from the start. Single-purpose functions, event-driven flows over function chaining, idempotency, Step Functions for orchestration. It integrates with AWS MCP servers for docs and CDK tooling, plus direct CLI access for deployments. Reach for this when you're building serverless APIs, microservices, or async workflows and want guardrails that keep you from shooting yourself in the foot with common anti-patterns.

AWS Serverless & Event-Driven Architecture

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for building serverless applications and event-driven architectures on AWS based on Well-Architected Framework principles.

AWS Documentation Requirement

Always verify AWS facts using MCP tools (mcp__aws-mcp__* or mcp__*awsdocs*__*) before answering. The aws-mcp-setup dependency is auto-loaded — if MCP tools are unavailable, guide the user through that skill's setup flow.

Serverless MCP Servers

This skill leverages the CDK MCP server (provided via aws-cdk-development dependency) and AWS Documentation MCP for serverless guidance.

Note: The following AWS MCP servers are available separately via the Full AWS MCP Server (see aws-mcp-setup skill) and are not bundled with this plugin:

AWS Serverless MCP — SAM CLI lifecycle (init, deploy, local test)

AWS Lambda Tool MCP — Direct Lambda invocation

AWS Step Functions MCP — Workflow orchestration

Amazon SNS/SQS MCP — Messaging and queue management
