What it does
Resilience Program Design is an agent skill from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Designs a resilience program: how to structure and standardize resilience policies across an organization, team, or portfolio (tiered policy model with availability/RTO/RPO targets and DR approach selection), and how often to run resilience activities (operational cadence). Applies when the user asks how to structure policies org-wide, what tiers/targets to set, which DR approach fits a tier, or how frequently to run assessments, FIS experiments, GameDays, or autoshift practice. Does not apply to creating or…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud. It works with 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
- Asks how to structure policies org-wide
- What tiers/targets to set
- Which DR approach fits a tier
- How frequently to run assessments
Example prompts
- “Use the resilience-program-design skill to design a resilience program: how to structure and standardize resilience policies across an organization…”
- “/resilience-program-design”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bd49cc8. 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 Program Design loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 185 tokens; SKILL.md has 438 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.

Resilience Program Design
Overview
Planning-level guidance for an organization's resilience program: how to structure policies by tier, and how often to run resilience activities.
Structuring resilience policies across an organization
Recommend a tiered policy model (not one policy per service): classify services by business criticality and set policy targets accordingly.
- Availability SLO — higher as criticality rises. The API accepts only a fixed set of SLO
values and rejects out-of-set ones, so confirm the valid values from the API/docs
(e.g.
aws resiliencehubv2 create-policy helpor the Resilience Hub documentation) rather than relying on a hardcoded list — illustratively, values such as99.9/99.95/99.99. - RTO/RPO — tighten as criticality rises (single-digit minutes for critical, hours for low).
- DR approach — match to criticality (more aggressive for more critical), using a value from
the API's DR-approach enum — verify the valid set via the API/docs (e.g.
aws resiliencehubv2 create-policy help); illustrativelyACTIVE_ACTIVE…BACKUP_AND_RESTORE.
Example (illustrative — resolve the actual enum values against the API before recommending): payments/auth → 99.99 + single-digit-minute RTO + ACTIVE_ACTIVE; internal tools →
99.9 + tens-of-minutes RTO + WARM_STANDBY; dev/test → 99.9 + multi-hour RTO + BACKUP_AND_RESTORE.
Warn against contradictory policies (e.g. the maximum SLO 99.99 with BACKUP_AND_RESTORE, or
multi-region RTO shorter than multi-AZ RTO).
How often to run resilience activities (cadence)
Recommend this minimum cadence when asked how often to run resilience activities:
- Continuous: ARC zonal autoshift practice runs (automated)
- Weekly: review the Resilience Hub findings dashboard
- Monthly: run FIS experiments (single-service fault-injection tests)
- Quarterly: cross-service GameDay
- Event-driven: after every production incident and before/after major deployments

Security Considerations
Program-level guidance — bake security into the standards you set:
- Standardize least privilege: require every resilience role (Resilience Hub invoker, FIS execution, ARC operator) in your templates and policies to be least-privilege and resource-scoped, with
aws:SourceArn/aws:SourceAccountcondition keys on their trust policies to prevent confused-deputy access. - Mandate short-lived credentials: require all resilience automation to authenticate as IAM roles with short-lived credentials (role assumption, AWS SSO, instance profiles) — never IAM users with long-lived access keys — as a program standard, since these roles perform privileged and potentially destructive operations.
- Mandate encryption: make SSE-KMS on report/state buckets part of your tier baseline, and enforce encryption in transit (TLS) — e.g. an
aws:SecureTransportdeny-if-false condition on those bucket policies and HTTPS-only API access. - Govern FIS in production: define an authorization / change-management gate for production fault injection as part of the program cadence.
- Limit exposure of resilience outputs: assessment findings, FIS logs, and GameDay reports can contain sensitive architectural detail (resource ARNs, IPs, failure modes) — make restricting their access to authorized personnel part of your program standards.
- Further reading: point teams to the AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar, FIS Security Best Practices, and IAM Best Practices for implementing these standards.
