s3AWS S3 object storage for bucket management, object operations, and access control.
S3 is an agent skill from itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills. AWS S3 object storage for bucket management, object operations, and access control. Use when creating buckets, uploading files, configuring lifecycle policies, setting up static websites, managing permissions, or implementing cross-region replication.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `security.md`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering File uploads and storage and Authorization and RBAC. It works with Amazon S3 and Amazon Web Services. The repository describes itself as: AWS Skills for Agents. The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e786d25. 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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
awsFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.aws.amazon.comboto3.amazonaws.comFrom 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.
S3 loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 494 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.

This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) provides scalable object storage with industry-leading durability (99.999999999%). S3 is fundamental to AWS—used for data lakes, backups, static websites, and as storage for many other AWS services.
Containers for objects. Bucket names are globally unique across all AWS accounts.
Files stored in S3, consisting of data, metadata, and a unique key (path). Maximum size: 5 TB.

Keeps multiple versions of an object. Essential for data protection and recovery.

AWS S3 object storage for bucket management, object operations, and access control. S3 is an agent skill from itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills. AWS S3 object storage for bucket management, object operations, and access control.
S3 fits situations like: creating buckets; uploading files; configuring lifecycle policies; setting up static websites.
Run `npx skills add itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills --skill s3 -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/s3 in itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills) into .claude/skills/s3 in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills --skill s3 -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/s3 in itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills) into .agents/skills/s3 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 itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills --skill s3 -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/s3, .gemini/skills/s3, .github/skills/s3 and .opencode/skills/s3 in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, S3 needs the command-line tools its instructions call (aws). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: docs.aws.amazon.com and boto3.amazonaws.com. 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.
S3 is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.3k 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 S3: Creating Data Lake Table (aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, 2.8k stars), AWS Essentials (ericrisco/rsc-harness, 167 stars), Processing S3 Uploads With Step Functions (aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, 2.8k stars) and Django Storages for S3 (Jeffallan/claude-skills, 12k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
