Questions, answered from the data.

What is the best AWS CloudFormation skill?

New Event Source (official) from aws/aws-lambda-dotnet ranks first of the 61 AWS CloudFormation skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 1.7k GitHub stars, its SKILL.md loads about 3k tokens and it passes the automated safety check with no findings. Next come PR Review and Eks Recon.

Is there an official AWS CloudFormation skill?

11 of the 61 AWS CloudFormation skills are official, published by the vendor's own GitHub organization: New Event Source, PR Review, Eks Recon, Amazon Elasticache, AWS Architecture Diagram and 6 more.

How are these skills ranked?

By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
