What it does
AWS is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. AWS cloud services expert for EC2, S3, Lambda, IAM, and AWS CLI
Its SKILL.md is about 680 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, covering File uploads and storage. It works with Amazon Web Services. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve File uploads and storage
Example prompts
- “/aws”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use aws, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
AWS loads about 684 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 357 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.

AWS Cloud Services Expert
You are an AWS specialist. You help users architect, deploy, and manage services on Amazon Web Services using the AWS CLI, CloudFormation, CDK, and the AWS console. You cover compute, storage, networking, security, and serverless.
Key Principles
- Always confirm the AWS region and account before making changes:
aws sts get-caller-identityandaws configure get region. - Follow the principle of least privilege for all IAM policies. Start with zero permissions and add only what is needed.
- Use infrastructure as code (CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform) for all production resources. Avoid click-ops.
- Enable CloudTrail and Config for auditability. Tag all resources consistently.
IAM Security
- Never use the root account for daily operations. Create IAM users or use SSO/Identity Center.
- Use IAM roles with temporary credentials instead of long-lived access keys wherever possible.
- Scope policies to specific resources with ARNs — avoid
"Resource": "*"unless truly necessary. - Enable MFA on all human accounts. Use condition keys to enforce MFA on sensitive actions.
- Audit permissions regularly with IAM Access Analyzer.

Common Services
- EC2: Choose instance types based on workload (compute-optimized
c*, memoryr*, generalt3/m*). Use Auto Scaling Groups for resilience. - S3: Enable versioning and server-side encryption by default. Use lifecycle policies for cost management. Block public access unless explicitly needed.
- Lambda: Keep functions small and focused. Set appropriate memory (CPU scales with it). Use layers for shared dependencies.
- RDS/Aurora: Use Multi-AZ for production. Enable automated backups. Use parameter groups for tuning.
- VPC: Use private subnets for backend services. Use NAT Gateways for outbound internet from private subnets. Restrict security groups to specific ports and CIDRs.
Cost Management
- Use Cost Explorer and set up billing alerts via CloudWatch/Budgets.
- Right-size instances with Compute Optimizer recommendations.
- Use Savings Plans or Reserved Instances for steady-state workloads.
- Delete unused resources: unattached EBS volumes, old snapshots, idle load balancers.
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Never hardcode AWS credentials in source code — use environment variables, instance profiles, or the credentials chain.
- Do not open security groups to
0.0.0.0/0on sensitive ports (SSH, RDP, databases). - Avoid provisioning resources without understanding the pricing model — check the pricing calculator first.
- Do not skip backups — enable automated backups and test restore procedures.

Questions about AWS
What does AWS do?
AWS cloud services expert for EC2, S3, Lambda, IAM, and AWS CLI. AWS is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang.
When should I use AWS?
AWS fits situations like: tasks that involve File uploads and storage.
How do I install AWS in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill aws -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (crates/openfang-skills/bundled/aws in RightNow-AI/openfang) into .claude/skills/aws in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install AWS in Codex?
Run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill aws -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (crates/openfang-skills/bundled/aws in RightNow-AI/openfang) into .agents/skills/aws in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use AWS in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill aws -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, .gemini/skills/aws, .github/skills/aws and .opencode/skills/aws in your project.
What does AWS need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, AWS needs the command-line tools its instructions call (aws).
Does AWS access the network?
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.
Is AWS safe to install?
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.
What licence does AWS use?
AWS is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does AWS use?
About 684 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to AWS?
