wa-builder
"Learn then Build" — help developers understand AWS Well-Architected best practices for their specific workload, then produce actionable visual artifacts (architecture diagrams with WA annotations, decision trees, improvement roadmaps) they can commit and use. Adapts explanations for beginners and generates artifacts faster for experienced builders. Use when the user wants to understand WA for th…

wa-guardrails
Generate preventive Well-Architected guardrails — AWS Config rules, Service Control Policies, permission boundaries, CloudWatch alarms, and IaC policy checks (CDK Aspects, cfn-guard, OPA/Sentinel) — plus an optional governance steering doc, so a workload stays aligned with Well-Architected best practices over time instead of being assessed once. Use when the user wants to enforce best practices i…

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
