fix(aws-startup-advisor): recommend AgentCore over classic Bedrock Agents (#340) Ported from awslabs/startups#263. The architect-for-startups Strands decision guide still recommended classic Bedrock Agents for managed multi-agent orchestration; that service entered maintenance mode and closed to new customers on 2026-07-30. Point the guide at Strands multi-agent primitives on AgentCore Runtime instead, and replace the outdated TypeScript container-only claim with the direct-code vs container deployment choice.

feat(aws-startup-advisor): add AWS Startup Advisor plugin (#329) * feat(aws-startup-advisor): add AWS Startup Advisor plugin Ports the AWS Startup Advisor plugin from its upstream source repository into this repo as a native, first-class plugin at plugins/aws-startup-advisor. Contents (893 new files): - 10 skills: agent-advisor, architect-for-startups, contextual-offers-for-startups, gcp-to-aws, heroku-to-aws, llm-to-bedrock, knowledge-base-for-startups, prompt-library, start-building-for-startups, startup-advisor - 7 agents, 4 scripts, 126 fixture files - Multi-host manifests: .claude-plugin/, .codex-plugin/, .cursor-plugin/ - Plugin README Re-homed to destination conventions: - Declares exactly one MCP server (the unified AWS MCP server); prose describing capabilities outside that server's 10 aws___* tools was brought in line with what it can actually do. - whitelist -> allowlist across 10 files, matching repo house style. - Stale cross-plugin path references rewritten to resolve at the new location. Schema $id URNs that use "migration-to-aws" as a stable namespace identity are deliberately unchanged. Repo-level registration: - Registered in .claude-plugin/, .agents/plugins/, and .cursor-plugin/ marketplace.json, and listed in README.md. Shared-config fix (.markdownlint-cli2.yaml): - The frontMatter regex "^---\s*$[\s\S]*?^---\s*$" never matched, because \s consumes newlines so \s*$ runs past the line end and the closing fence anchor never lands. markdownlint therefore linted YAML frontmatter as body content. Anchored it on explicit newlines instead. Without the fix the repo reports 549 errors across 442 locations, all inside frontmatter; with it, 0. The 1619 pre-existing files lint at 0 errors under both the old and new regex, so this is not a behavior change for existing content. * ci: exempt typing-extensions from the licence allowlist The dependency-review gate fails on plugins/aws-startup-advisor because typing-extensions 4.15.0 publishes the composite licence expression "Python-2.0 AND GPL-1.0-or-later AND Python-2.0 AND BSD-3-Clause AND Python-2.0 AND BSD-3-Clause AND 0BSD". The shared Amazon OSPO config is an allowlist, and every term in a composite expression must match, so the single unlisted GPL-1.0-or-later term fails the whole package. That term is an artifact of the historical Python licence text bundled in the package's LICENSE file, not an actual GPL grant -- typing-extensions is PSF-licensed. The package reaches this repo only transitively: jsonschema -> referencing, openai -> pydantic/anyio, and exceptiongroup. Scoped as narrowly as the action allows: - Licence-only. Vulnerability checks still apply to this package. - One named package, by purl. - Applied as an inline input, which the action merges per key over the config file, so the shared allow-licenses list is untouched and the config-file SHA pin is unchanged. The alternative was dropping the two uv.lock files that surface the transitive closure, which would have cost 918 pinned file hashes across the two script environments to work around a metadata false positive. * fix(aws-startup-advisor): drop unsupported "agents" key from plugin.json Claude Code 2.1.278 rejects `"agents": "./agents/"` in .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and an unknown key invalidates the whole manifest, so the plugin fails to load entirely. The key was introduced during the port and is not present anywhere else: not in the upstream manifest, and not in this plugin's .codex-plugin or .cursor-plugin manifests. No sibling plugin in this repo declares it either -- aws-agents uses `skills`/`mcpServers`, aws-core uses `hooks`. Nothing is lost by removing it: Claude Code auto-discovers the default agents/ directory, and all 7 agent files remain in place. Reported by Gen Li during migration testing. Note for follow-up: `mise run validate` passes both with and without this key -- lint:manifests and lint:spec (Agent Plugins v1.0.0) both accept a key that Claude Code rejects, so the loading failure was invisible to the repo's own gates. * feat(aws-startup-advisor): port upstream azure-to-aws skill and cache-only pricing Brings the plugin up to date with upstream changes that postdate the original port snapshot. New capability: - azure-to-aws (skill #4) — seven-phase Microsoft Azure to AWS migration over canonical Microsoft.* ARM resource types, with an opt-in generate gate and a what-if repricing workshop. Includes the azure-iac-terraform fixture corpus and its five deterministic asserters (Discover, Design, Clarify x2, Estimate). - skills/shared/ai/ and skills/shared/clarify/ canonical fragments (AI migration guardrails, design-ref harness, clarify assembly), mirrored byte-identical into each consuming skill's references/vendored/ tree. - heroku-to-aws/scripts/ — the Heroku report validator moves in beside the skill that uses it, out of the plugin-level scripts/ directory. - tf-best-practices — three ElastiCache policy fixtures plus the matching validator and security-posture rules. Cache-only pricing, applied consistently across every skill: - Documentation and regional-availability lookups go through the unified AWS MCP Server (aws___* tools). The plugin still declares exactly one MCP server. - No live pricing lookup. A service absent from the pricing cache resolves to "estimated" (a formula constant carrying a published rate, stated verbatim) or "unavailable" (excluded from totals with a warning) — never a guess. - No AWS Pricing Calculator integration; calculator_url is always null. The upstream azure-to-aws skill was authored on a branch predating the cache-only consolidation and merged after it, so it arrived still referencing the removed pricing and knowledge MCP servers. Every substitution here follows upstream's own gcp-to-aws conversion rather than a local invention; the three azure-only files with no gcp counterpart got the same mapping by hand. Two cross-references that the mismatch had left dangling are removed: the workshop calculator-link procedure and an MCP retry ladder that no longer exists. Registration and docs: - Azure added to the plugin README skill table and prose, the root README, and the Claude/Cursor marketplace descriptions and keyword lists (75 keywords, consistent across all four plugin manifests). - Skill descriptions re-trimmed under the 1024-character limit (azure-to-aws 1020, gcp-to-aws 989, heroku-to-aws 1000). Verified: mise run validate (manifests, skill parity, Agent Plugins v1.0.0) — pass; mise run lint:md over 2385 files — clean; gitleaks over both history and the working tree — no leaks; all five azure fixture asserters — pass; 44 vendored files byte-identical to their canonical sources. * feat(aws-startup-advisor): add report cost-figure crosscheck and harden prompt library Ports two upstream changes into the vendored plugin. Cost-figure crosscheck: the report validator now verifies that the dollar figures rendered in a migration or decision report match the estimate they came from, via data-cost-key HTML anchors. Adds the anchor spec to the gcp-to-aws and heroku-to-aws report templates, tags the golden fixtures, and makes the gcp decision-gate asserter pass --estimation-infra so the gate is actually exercised rather than skipped. Prompt library hardening: scopes servicequotas:RequestServiceQuotaIncrease to EC2 and SageMaker quota ARNs instead of "*", drops "curl -k" in favour of a verified TLS call, and reframes the security baseline kit as a starting point that needs review before production. Also extends the anchor requirement to azure-to-aws, which invokes the same shared validator but shipped no anchor guidance. Azure records current spend under current_costs.azure_monthly, which the validator does not map, so only the aws_monthly_balanced anchor applies there. * docs(aws-startup-advisor): tighten AWS terminology in reference content Ports the upstream terminology pass over the knowledge-base and architect reference material. Replaces collective descriptions of AWS ("the AWS ecosystem", "the AWS platform") with what is actually meant -- AWS services, the AWS community, the AWS Partner Network, or a specific named service -- and softens overclaimed outcomes ("ensures" -> "helps" / "is designed to", "guaranteed response times" -> "target response times"). Where the original wording sat inside a direct quotation, the quote is left intact and the surrounding sentence is reshaped instead, so no one is quoted saying something they did not say. Third-party product names, the startup ecosystem, and partner ecosystems are unchanged. Also switches the heroku-live-capture fixtures to RFC 2606 reserved example addresses. Heading markers differ from upstream in 14 of these files: this repo enforces markdownlint MD036, so emphasis-as-heading lines are real headings here. Prose content is identical to upstream. * docs(aws-startup-advisor): sync upstream docs refresh through 604df6f Ports five upstream source-repository PRs that landed after the previous sync at cd8fc31: - #301 advisor docs refresh: azure-to-aws corrects its phase count to 6 and states that Bicep, ARM, live `az` capture, and RDfA are planned follow-ups rather than supported today. - #333 uses an RFC 2606 reserved domain in the Provider invitation example instead of a live one. - #334 adds template-verification guidance before the CloudFormation Launch Stack shortcuts in the budgets article. - #335 replaces a named third party's personal email address with the Merge offer page and Help Center. - #336 adds a safety note to the AI-analytics article: credit and lending model output must support a qualified human reviewer and cannot be the sole basis for approval or denial. Upstream's `setup.md`, `advisor/README.md`, and `advisor/AGENTS.md` changes are out of scope for this port. Three files could not be taken byte-verbatim: this repo enforces markdownlint MD059 (descriptive link text) and MD036 (no emphasis as heading), which upstream does not, and faq.md documents installation from this repo rather than from the upstream source. Upstream's changed lines were applied into them individually; the residual divergence is unchanged at 26 lines, all of it those two lint rules plus that one re-homing. * fix(aws-startup-advisor): stop instructing a pricing-calculator link that is never produced Under cache-only pricing there is no AWS Pricing Calculator integration and `estimation_summary.calculator_url` is always `null`. Two files in each of gcp-to-aws and azure-to-aws still told the agent to render a link "per non-null calculator_url" and justified it with "AWS computes regional prices server-side there", which contradicts cache-only pricing outright: - references/phases/workshop/workshop-compare.md - references/shared/report-decision-core.md The non-null condition means a literal reading already emits nothing, so output is unaffected. The risk is the standing suggestion that a shareable calculator estimate exists and is expected here, which invites a fabricated calculator.aws URL or a claim that prices were computed server-side when they came from the bundled cache. Both now state that the field is always `null` and that no link is rendered, matching heroku-to-aws, which was already correct. This diverges from upstream deliberately. * docs: point AWS Startup Advisor install instructions at this repository Addresses both review comments on #329. The `aws-startup-advisor` entry in `claude-plugins-official` is a git-subdir source pinned to a different repository and subdirectory, so `/plugin install aws-startup-advisor@claude-plugins-official` installs that distribution rather than this one. Merging this PR updates this repository's marketplace but cannot change that external entry. The root README now gives this repository's marketplace route and notes what the official-marketplace name currently resolves to; the same correction is applied to the FAQ reference the skill serves to users. The plugin README previously deferred all installation to the root README's Quick start, whose standalone-skills command targets `aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/skills`. None of these 11 skills live in that tree, so Kiro and fx users following it got no Startup Advisor. It now carries a plugin-specific command, verified to resolve all 11 skills and 852 files: npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/plugins/aws-startup-advisor/skills --skill '*' It also notes that the skills must be installed together, since `agent-advisor` delegates to `gcp-to-aws`, and that a standalone install does not configure the `aws-mcp` server from `.mcp.json`. * fix(aws-startup-advisor): stop naming the wrong skills in the generic phase workers Both generic phase workers opened by scoping themselves to "a DSL-driven migration skill (`gcp-to-aws` or `heroku-to-aws`)". That list is wrong in both directions: `gcp-to-aws` ships no `references/vendored/dsl/INTERPRETER.md` and never dispatches these workers, while `agent-advisor` and `azure-to-aws` do and went unnamed. The list was introduced by this port. Upstream reads "(migration-to-aws)" — the old plugin name — and re-homing it to this repo's skill names picked the wrong two. Dropping the list entirely rather than correcting it: the very next line says the worker is phase-agnostic and takes its phase from the dispatch context, so enumerating callers in the prompt is both inaccurate and pointless. --------- Co-authored-by: Bear Zietz

fix(eventbridge): rename the new-bus CLI command to aws eventsv2 (#336) * fix(eventbridge): rename the new-bus CLI command to aws eventsv2 The CLI command for the new custom event buses is aws eventsv2. The skill wrote aws eventbridgev2 in every CLI example and in the prose that states the service's names, so an agent following it would run a command that does not exist. Renames all 25 CLI invocations and updates the naming prose: the CLI command and the endpoint host are eventsv2, the SDK clients remain eventbridgev2, and the IAM namespace remains events. The wrong-namespace warnings now name eventsv2: as the likelier mistake, since a reader copies it from the command they just ran. Also drops events:SystemMetadata/EventGroupId from the condition-key table in references/authorization.md. The service does not populate it, and a documented key that is never populated fails closed without a signal: a StringEquals Allow can never be satisfied and a StringNotEquals Deny always fires, neither raising an error. * bump event bus skill to version 3 * Updating skill version to 2

docs(payments): Coinbase Marketplace subscription, connector statuses, and authorizationUrl open guidance (#320) - Marketplace subscription (Coinbase-wide): why it's required, the consolidated-billing + SubscriptionRequiredException (403) statement, and the subscribe steps (logged-in AWS Console -> View purchase options -> review terms -> Subscribe). - Step 4 recovery for a SubscriptionRequiredException at deploy: the CLI provisions manager+connector in one CloudFormation stack, so the failure rolls back and deletes the PaymentManager; recheck via GetPaymentManager and, if ResourceNotFoundException, restart from Step 3a -> 3b -> deploy. - Connector status handling: add PROVISIONING (transient) and AWS_MARKETPLACE_SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED (terminal -> subscribe then recreate) to the poll loop and the debugging entry, alongside READY / AUTHENTICATION_EXPIRED / AUTHENTICATION_FAILED. - authorizationUrl handling: correct that the AgentCore CLI does NOT auto-open the URL today. The agent drives it: on the developer's machine open via the OS opener (open/xdg-open/start = navigate, not a fetch); headless/remote/CI -> print the URL for the developer. Never curl/HEAD/WebFetch/preview it (open != fetch). Co-authored-by: Khusbu Mishra

feat(aws-core): add aws-well-architected-review skill (#319) Adds a Well-Architected Framework review skill under skills/core-skills/ and bundles it with the aws-core plugin. The skill reviews a workload across all six pillars. It discovers the framework question and best-practice inventory from the live AWS documentation rather than embedding a snapshot, then analyzes code, IaC, and configuration to produce evidence-backed findings with best-practice ID citations and Eisenhower-prioritized remediation. It supports full, quick, pillar-scoped, score, and lens-specific review modes. - Add the skill under skills/core-skills/aws-well-architected-review/ (9 files, text-only) and a byte-identical bundled copy under plugins/aws-core/skills/. - Add a row to the aws-core plugin README skills table. - Expand the aws-core description and keywords in the four plugin manifests and the two marketplace indexes so Well-Architected queries surface the plugin.

feat(aws-ai-ml): add inference optimization to model-deployment (#315) * feat(aws-ai-ml): add inference optimization to model-deployment Adds a new capability to the aws-ai-ml skill and brings the rest of its reference content up to date, applied identically to both copies. ## Inference optimization model-deployment could generate deployment code but had nothing to say about what to deploy onto. The agent either asked the user for an instance type or picked one from its own priors, with no way to check the choice against measured behaviour. A new optimization reference covers three workflows: benchmark measure latency and throughput on an existing endpoint, including replaying captured production traffic rather than synthetic load recommend run a recommendation job and read back the published hosting configurations, instead of naming an instance type from memory compare put candidate configurations side by side on the same workload references/model-deployment/references/optimization/benchmark-workflow.md references/model-deployment/references/optimization/benchmarking-guidance.md references/model-deployment/references/optimization/recommendation-workflow.md references/model-deployment/references/optimization/recommendation-options.md references/model-deployment/references/optimization/recommendation-deploy.md references/model-deployment/references/optimization/interpreting-results.md references/model-deployment/references/optimization/huggingface-to-s3.md with three matching notebook templates: references/model-deployment/code_templates/optimize-benchmark.py references/model-deployment/code_templates/optimize-recommendation.py references/model-deployment/code_templates/optimize-huggingface-to-s3.py The templates comment out their `%pip install` setup line and carry it as `# NOTEBOOK_ONLY`, matching the five existing deploy-*.py templates. A bare cell magic is not valid Python, so an uncommented one cannot be parsed by any tool that reads the template as source; the marker is what carries the notebook-only meaning, per code_output_guide.md. ## Region availability references/planning/references/region-availability.md is new. Serverless model customization and inference optimization are not available in every region, and planning previously discovered that only by failing partway through. The reference lets planning fast-fail on an unsupported region before any resource is created. ## Reference content sync The remaining files are accumulated updates to existing references — model-selection determinism (deterministic ordering of model lists, and a soft-term to exact-value mapping so "small" resolves predictably), a finetuning region gate, and updated deployment guidance. No workflow was removed. metadata.version is bumped to "4" to cover the content changes. Text-only content plus notebook templates; no new executable scripts are added.

fix(aws-agents-for-devsecops): missing S3 bucket ownership verification (#305) * Merge commit from fork The Security Agent skills derive a deterministic scan bucket name (security-agent-scans--) from the non-secret caller account ID. Because S3's namespace is global, a third party can pre-register the predictable name; the skills validated the bucket by existence only, so source archives (containing .env, *.pem, terraform.tfstate) could be uploaded into an attacker-owned bucket. - setup-security-agent: head-bucket now asserts --expected-bucket-owner and a 403 on a foreign-owned bucket is fatal; create-bucket treats BucketAlreadyExists as fatal (distinct from BucketAlreadyOwnedByYou) and re-asserts ownership after creation before any use. - scanning / diff-scanning / threat-modeling: every 'aws s3 cp' upload now passes --expected-bucket-owner so writes fail closed if the bucket is not owned by the caller. - Added ownership Rules and troubleshooting notes.

docs(setup-instructions): split troubleshooting from onboarding runbook and streamline (#301) * docs(setup-instructions): split troubleshooting from onboarding runbook and streamline Behavior-preserving refactor of the agent onboarding runbook. No install or configuration command changes; same steps, order, and end state. - Move per-step error tables into a new setup-troubleshooting.md, linked from each step in setup.md. - Consolidate Parameters and Dependencies into a single 'Before you start' block and add a 'How to run this file' note stating one autonomy mode (gather inputs up front, then run; pause only for the browser aws login and the interactive aws configure agent-toolkit wizard). - Add a note that the piped AWS CLI installer can be downloaded and inspected first, linking the official install page. - De-duplicate the generated aws-mcp MCP entry: describe the env/profile edit the agent must add (AWS_MCP_PROXY_PROFILES) instead of restating the full JSON the wizard writes, reducing drift. setup.md 305 -> 222 lines; error content preserved in setup-troubleshooting.md. * docs(setup-instructions): add back-links from troubleshooting to each step Add a 'Back to Step N' link at the top of each troubleshooting section (and General error handling) pointing to the corresponding step in setup.md, so navigating between a failed step and its resolution is a near-zero-cost round trip. Addresses the one dimension where the single -file layout was easier (0-hop inline lookup). No error content changed. * fix(setup-instructions): stop Step 7 from overwriting project rules files Fixes #282. Step 7 previously told the agent to save the AWS rules to CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md (and .cursor/rules, .kiro/steering), which overwrites the project's own agent instructions — a quiet, sometimes unrecoverable data loss. Step 7 now creates the file only if absent, otherwise appends the rules under idempotent markers (replacing only the marked block on re-run), and asks the user when it cannot tell whether appending is safe. Also adds a precedence note to rules/aws-agent-rules.md and rules/aws-starter-rules.md: project instructions take precedence where they conflict with the AWS rules. --------- Co-authored-by: Devanshu Bhimwal

fix(aws-core): make secret-safety hook interpreter cross-platform (#207) (#284) The PreToolUse hook hardcoded `python3`, which on Windows resolves to the Microsoft Store app-execution-alias stub (python.org installs only `python.exe`). The stub exits non-zero on every Bash call, producing a noisy hook-error banner and — worse — causing the secret-safety guard to silently fail open so plaintext secret fetches are no longer blocked. Replace the hardcoded interpreter in both hook entries with a POSIX fallback chain that tries `python3`, then `python`, then `py -3`, keeping the single-command-string form required for Codex compatibility (#98). stderr on the first two attempts is suppressed so the Store-stub message is not surfaced when a working interpreter is found. Verified locally: guard deny/allow matrix unchanged (9/9), and a stubbed `python3` exiting non-zero now falls through to `python` and still denies. Known limitation: the `sh -c` chain does not cover Windows without Git Bash (PowerShell); the silent fail-open warning is left as a follow-up.

fix(asm-exec): resolve secrets via run_script (fixes #293) (#296) * fix(asm-exec): resolve secrets via run_script aws___call_aws was removed on 2026-08-31, so asm-exec resolved no secrets: _resolve_via_mcp called a tool that no longer exists. Port the MCP path to aws___run_script, which runs a short server-side script calling call_boto3('secretsmanager', 'GetSecretValue', ...) and returns the response as the script's return_value. Also fix two defects that made the failure impossible to diagnose: - The transport timeout was hardcoded to 10s, but the run_script boto3 round trip measures ~13s, so every attempt timed out. Default it to 30s and make it configurable via ASM_EXEC_MCP_TIMEOUT. - _resolve_via_mcp collapsed every exception into one "Failed to resolve" string. Report the specific cause (removed/renamed tool, timeout, unreachable endpoint, denied permission, missing secret) on stderr, without ever including the secret value. _extract_secret_string now also traverses the run_script envelope's return_value key (legacy result/output keys kept for back-compat). Embed call_boto3 arguments with repr so secret ids and version stages cannot break out of the generated script. Update SKILL.md to match. Fixes #293 * refactor(asm-exec): drop unused _mcp_post timeout parameter Address review feedback on #296: no caller passes a timeout, so the parameter was dead. _mcp_post reads the module-level MCP_TIMEOUT directly, keeping the timeout configurable via ASM_EXEC_MCP_TIMEOUT. --------- Co-authored-by: Bidesh Thapaliya

feat: 90-minute async/ESM timeout guidance for aws-lambda-managed-instances (#300) Documents the 90-minute (5400s) Lambda function timeout for asynchronous and event-source-mapping (SQS, Kinesis, DynamoDB Streams) invocations on Managed Instances: Quick Decision duration signal, Configuration/Limits/Operations updates, long-duration invocation caveats, and a long-running-networking section. Updates the sqs-processor example to illustrate the Timeout and SQS visibility-timeout coupling.
