# AWS agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made AWS playbooks for AI agents: review AWS cost and usage with AI, plan an AWS service setup with AI. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use the AWS MCP Server safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/aws-mcp/skills/essentials.md): 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.
- [Review AWS cost and usage with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/aws-mcp/skills/aws-cost-and-usage-review.md): 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.
- [Plan an AWS service setup with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/aws-mcp/skills/aws-service-setup-guide.md): 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.

### 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.
