What it does

AWS SDK Net Maintainer is an agent skill from aws/aws-sdk-net, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when working on the AWS SDK for .NET source code itself, including Core runtime changes, service client implementations, generator or model changes, repo-specific build and validation flows, and V3/V4 branch-targeting decisions.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/build-and-validate.md`, `references/code-structure.md` and `references/dual-support.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with Amazon Web Services, .NET and Amazon DynamoDB. The repository describes itself as: The official AWS SDK for .NET. For more information on the AWS SDK for .NET, see our web site:. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Working on the AWS SDK for .NET source code itself
  • Including Core runtime changes
  • Service client implementations
  • Repo-specific build and validation flows

Example prompts

  • “/aws-sdk-net-maintainer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f36df89. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

AWS SDK Net Maintainer loads about 503 tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~503
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
