What it does
Creating Amazon Aurora DB Cluster With Instances is an agent skill from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Creates a complete Amazon Aurora database cluster with instances, handling cluster creation, instance provisioning, and Secrets Manager password management in the proper sequence. Use when setting up new Aurora MySQL or PostgreSQL clusters with production-ready configuration.
Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/create-amazon-aurora-db-cluster-with-instances.md`).
It sits in Databases. It works with MySQL, PostgreSQL and Amazon Web Services. The repository describes itself as: Official, AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, and plugins to help AI agents build on AWS. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Setting up new Aurora MySQL
- PostgreSQL clusters with production-ready configuration
Example prompts
- “Use the creating-amazon-aurora-db-cluster-with-instances skill to create a complete Amazon Aurora database cluster with instances, handling cluster…”
- “/creating-amazon-aurora-db-cluster-with-instances”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2cb0fa1. 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
Creating Amazon Aurora DB Cluster With Instances loads about 403 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 163 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Creating Amazon Aurora DB Cluster with Instances
Overview
Domain expertise for creating complete Amazon Aurora database setups including cluster creation, instance provisioning, and managed password configuration via AWS Secrets Manager. Supports both Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL engines.
Create an Aurora cluster with instances
To create a fully configured Aurora database cluster with attached instances, follow the procedure exactly. See Aurora cluster creation procedure.
The procedure creates an empty Aurora cluster first, then adds a database instance to make it queryable. It uses AWS Secrets Manager for password management and includes proper status monitoring with retry logic.
Troubleshooting
Cluster creation fails
Verify the engine version is supported in your region and that you have sufficient permissions for RDS and Secrets Manager operations.
Instance creation fails
Check that the instance class is compatible with the Aurora engine and available in your region's availability zones.
Long creation times
Aurora cluster and instance creation can take 10-20 minutes. Extended wait times are normal for Aurora resources.
