What it does

Resilience Hub Getting Started is an agent skill from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Sets up AWS Resilience Hub v2 from scratch: creates resilience policies with SLO targets, registers systems and user journeys, onboards services with input sources, and runs a first failure mode assessment. Applies when the user wants to get started with Resilience Hub v2, create a policy, onboard a service, or run an assessment — including creating one concrete policy with specific availability/RTO/RPO targets and a DR approach for a single service (even a tier-1 one). Does not apply to FIS experiments or ARC…

Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/setup-procedure.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Customer journey mapping and Site reliability engineering. It works with Amazon Web Services and Model Context Protocol. 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

  • Wants to get started with Resilience Hub v2
  • Create a policy
  • Onboard a service

Example prompts

  • “/resilience-hub-getting-started”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 188af2f. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • aws

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.aws.amazon.com

    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

Resilience Hub Getting Started loads about 968 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 141 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~141
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~968
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.7k

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.

Getting Started with AWS Resilience Hub v2

Overview

Domain expertise for first-time Resilience Hub v2 setup: policies, systems, user journeys, services, input sources, and failure mode assessments.

The AWS MCP server is recommended for executing this skill's AWS API calls, but it is not required — all operations also work with the AWS CLI directly.

Guardrail — where this skill's own files live (MCP vs local install)

Before reading a reference file, determine how this skill was loaded:

  • Loaded via the AWS MCP retrieve_skill tool: the skill's reference files are not on the local filesystem. Fetch each one through retrieve_skill with the file parameter (e.g. file="references/setup-procedure.md") — do NOT file_read these paths locally or search the filesystem for them.
  • Installed locally (e.g. .kiro/skills/resilience-hub-getting-started/ or ~/.claude/skills/resilience-hub-getting-started/): read reference files from the local skill directory using the relative paths shown here.

This applies only to the skill's own reference files; always read and write user or session data in the working directory, never through retrieve_skill.

Set up Resilience Hub v2

To configure Resilience Hub v2 from scratch, follow the procedure exactly. See references/setup-procedure.md.

Troubleshooting

Assessment stuck in IN_PROGRESS

Poll with aws resiliencehubv2 list-failure-mode-assessments. If stuck >30 min, check the errorCode field — common causes are INVALID_PERMISSIONS or CMK_ACCESS_DENIED on cross-account roles.

Achievability shows NOT_ACHIEVABLE

Your architecture cannot meet the policy targets. Fix infrastructure before running FIS experiments — testing won't help if the architecture is fundamentally insufficient.

No resources discovered

Verify input sources are correct: CFN stack ARN exists, Terraform state file is accessible, EKS cluster is in the specified regions, or resource tags match actual resources.

Security Considerations

  • Least privilege: scope the invoker role to read-only discovery of only the resource types in your input sources; attach the AWS managed AWSResilienceHubAsssessmentExecutionPolicy (AWS spells it with three s's) or a tighter custom policy.
  • Encryption at rest / in transit: recommend S3 buckets for Terraform state and assessment reports use server-side encryption (SSE-KMS) and a bucket policy enforcing TLS via aws:SecureTransport.
  • Condition keys (confused-deputy): add an aws:SourceAccount (and ideally aws:SourceArn scoped to the specific Resilience Hub service ARN) condition to the invoker role's trust policy so only your account's Resilience Hub can assume it.
  • Limit assessment exposure: restrict who can call start-failure-mode-assessment (it reads infrastructure state) and who can read assessment findings and reports — these can contain sensitive architecture detail.
  • Further reading: see Security in AWS Resilience Hub and IAM Best Practices (including cross-service confused-deputy prevention).
