operate-on-aws

Operate a live AWS workload with AWS DevOps Agent — incident investigation, root-cause analysis, and release-readiness review — for startups with no dedicated DevOps or SRE engineer. Use when a live AWS workload is misbehaving (production is down, 5xx errors, latency spike, timeouts, it broke after the last deploy, an alarm fired, a pasted CloudWatch alarm or stack trace, find the root cause, write a postmortem, no one on call), for pre-merge review (is this PR safe to ship, blast radius), or to set up, pause, stop, or check the cost of AWS DevOps Agent. Detects existing setup first and never re-onboards. Asks one explicit Yes/No covering cost (two-month trial, Activate credits) and account access before any setup; code egress stays off unless asked. Do not use for: new architecture (architect-for-startups), scaffolding (start-building-for-startups), migrations (gcp-to-aws, azure-to-aws, heroku-to-aws, llm-to-bedrock), or general Activate and credits questions (knowledge-base-for-startups).

An agent can have at most 8 skills. Custom skills aren't available in tenants that use Microsoft Purview Information Barriers.

Compatible isn't the same as safe. These verdicts only say whether a skill's files follow Microsoft's documented load rules. The checker reads files and never runs them, and it doesn't review what a skill or its scripts actually do. Read a skill's instructions and scripts before you add it to an agent.
