AWS agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

3 ready-made playbooks that teach an AI agent how to do real AWS work: which tools to call, what to check first, and when to stop and ask you.

Download RevampKey, free I have it: connect AWS

Connect AWS once and all 3 skills install themselves and stay up to date. Mac, Windows and Linux.

All 3 AWS skills

Each skill is one job. You ask in plain words and the agent loads the skill that matches, then follows its steps.

Use the AWS MCP Server safely

Sets up safe, efficient use of the AWS MCP Server by confirming identity, account and region first, choosing the lightest tool for each question, and asking before any change to AWS resources.

Use it when

You want the agent to look something up in your AWS account without touching anything
You are not sure whether a question needs documentation, an account read or a script
A request was refused with an access or region error and you need to know why

Tools it uses

aws___list_regions
aws___search_documentation
aws___read_documentation
aws___get_regional_availability
aws___retrieve_skill
aws___call_aws
aws___run_script
aws___get_presigned_url
aws___get_tasks

Example

Check which of my EC2 instances in eu-west-1 are stopped, and tell me which account you are looking at first.

Using identity dev-readonly in account 111122223333, region eu-west-1. Of 14 instances listed (filtered to EC2 in that region), 3 are stopped: web-staging-2, batch-old-1 and bastion-test. I have not changed anything. Stopping or deleting any of them would need your explicit yes.

Read-only2 AWS tools

Review AWS cost and usage with AI

Reviews AWS spend for a chosen period, breaking cost down by service, region and linked account, spotting anomalies and idle capacity, and ranking savings opportunities with evidence. It is read-only and changes nothing in your account.

Use it when

Your AWS bill went up this month and you want to know why
You want a ranked list of where AWS waste and savings are
You need a cost review for a specific account, team tag or period

Tools it uses

aws___call_aws
aws___get_regional_availability

Example

Why did our AWS bill go up this month compared with last month? Show me the top drivers and any savings we could make.

Your month-to-date spend is 18,240 USD against 14,900 USD for the same period last month, an increase of 3,340 USD. Most of it comes from data transfer in eu-west-1, which rose by about 2,100 USD after a new service started sending logs across regions. I also found three m5.4xlarge instances averaging under 8% CPU for 30 days, worth roughly 900 to 1,100 USD a month if right-sized. Figures are unblended and nothing has been changed.

Plan an AWS service setup with AI

Turns a request to build or configure an AWS service into a step-by-step plan grounded in current official documentation, regional availability and IAM prerequisites. It executes nothing and asks for approval before any change.

Use it when

You want to set up a new AWS service or feature and need the correct order of steps.
You need to confirm a feature is available in your target region before you build.
You want the IAM permissions and cost implications spelled out before you deploy.

Tools it uses

aws___search_documentation
aws___read_documentation
aws___get_regional_availability
aws___list_regions
aws___retrieve_skill
aws___call_aws
aws___get_tasks
aws___run_script

Example

How do I set up an encrypted S3 bucket with access logging in eu-west-2 for a static site?

Here is the plan. Availability: S3 is offered in eu-west-2 (London). Step 1, create a log bucket with default encryption; the docs confirm this is required before access logging can target it. Step 2, create the site bucket with default encryption and block public access on. Step 3, enable server access logging to the log bucket. Cost: storage and request charges only, no fixed fee. Nothing has been created yet; reply yes to proceed with steps 1 to 3.

How AWS skills work

Connect AWS
The AWS MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Why did our AWS bill go up this month compared with last month? Show me the top drivers and any savings we could make.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install AWS skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect AWS. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the AWS MCP server connected there.

About 1 minute · nothing to copy

Download RevampKey for Mac, Windows or Linux and sign in.
Open Connectors and connect AWS. All 3 skills come with it and stay up to date; they go away when you remove the connector.
Ask in plain language, for example “Why did our AWS bill go up this month compared with last month? Show me the top drivers and any savings we could make.”

AWS skills FAQ

What is a AWS agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each AWS skill describes one job, which AWS tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the AWS skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in AWS.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect AWS; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the AWS MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the AWS MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The AWS MCP setup guide covers every client.
