## What it does

This guide covers AWS compute, storage, databases, networking, and security through the AWS Well-Architected Framework. It also addresses monitoring, resilience, disaster recovery, and cost management. Included examples show CloudFormation templates for EC2 and Auto Scaling, plus an AWS CLI command for listing instance types.

Use the skill to work through architecture choices and draft infrastructure templates. You’ll need basic cloud computing knowledge, an AWS account with suitable permissions, a configured AWS CLI, and familiarity with YAML or JSON. The CLI examples depend on AWS CLI being configured first.

## Requirements
- Works with: AWS

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill aws-cloud-architecture -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/aws-cloud-architecture/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/aws-cloud-architecture/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill aws-cloud-architecture -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/aws-cloud-architecture/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill aws-cloud-architecture -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/aws-cloud-architecture/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace aws-cloud-architecture
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/aws-cloud-architecture/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill aws-cloud-architecture -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --path plugins/luxor-devops-suite/skills/aws-cloud-architecture
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/aws-cloud-architecture/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill aws-cloud-architecture -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace/tree/HEAD/plugins/luxor-devops-suite/skills/aws-cloud-architecture/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- design AWS infrastructure around Well-Architected guidance
- draft a CloudFormation template for an EC2 instance
- configure Auto Scaling for an instance group
- compare AWS storage and database approaches
- plan monitoring and recovery after a failure

## Example prompts
- Design an AWS architecture for a web app using EC2 and Auto Scaling.
- Draft a CloudFormation template for an EC2 web server.
- How should I plan monitoring and disaster recovery in AWS?
