aws-serverlessSpecialized skill for building production-ready serverless applications on AWS.
AWS Serverless is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Specialized skill for building production-ready serverless applications on AWS. Covers Lambda functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS event-driven patterns, SAM/CDK deployment, and cold start optimization.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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 Backend & APIs, covering Serverless, NoSQL databases and Event-driven systems. It works with Amazon Web Services, Amazon DynamoDB and AWS Lambda. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c82aba. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and javascript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
AWS Serverless loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 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.
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.
The full file from davila7/claude-code-templates at commit 4c82aba, republished under its MIT licence (© davila7). 185 words, ~1,965 tokens.

Why bad: Increases deployment package size. Slows down cold starts significantly. Most of SDK/library may be unused.

Specialized skill for building production-ready serverless applications on AWS. AWS Serverless is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Specialized skill for building production-ready serverless applications on AWS.
AWS Serverless fits situations like: tasks that involve Serverless; tasks that involve NoSQL databases; tasks that involve Event-driven systems.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill aws-serverless -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/development/aws-serverless in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .claude/skills/aws-serverless in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill aws-serverless -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/development/aws-serverless in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .agents/skills/aws-serverless in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill aws-serverless -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/aws-serverless, .gemini/skills/aws-serverless, .github/skills/aws-serverless and .opencode/skills/aws-serverless in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: AWS Serverless is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
AWS Serverless is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with AWS Serverless: AWS Serverless Eda (zxkane/aws-skills, 367 stars), AWS Lambda (awslabs/agent-plugins, 912 stars), AWS Serverless (aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, 2.8k stars) and AWS Lambda Managed Instances (aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, 2.8k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
