setup · aws — Claude Code skill: connect AWS agents

Q: How do I install setup in Claude?

Run `npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill setup -a claude-code`. The skill file appears at `~/.claude/skills/setup/SKILL.md`.

Q: What does the setup skill do?

It invokes `setup-devops-agent` for the DevOps Agent MCP connection and `setup-security-agent` for the Security Agent workspace. If you need one agent, only that step runs.

This skill kicks off the connection setup for AWS DevOps Agent and AWS Security Agent. Reach for it when MCP tools go missing or you are wiring the toolkit up for the first time.

What setup does

The skill is an entry point. It invokes setup-devops-agent to configure the DevOps Agent MCP connection, then setup-security-agent to set up the Security Agent workspace — agent space, IAM role, S3 bucket. Need only one agent? Only that step runs.

Install it in Claude with npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill setup -a claude-code. The file lands at ~/.claude/skills/setup/SKILL.md. Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and OpenCode use the same command with a different agent flag; GitHub Copilot goes through gh skill install aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws setup.

The skill configures nothing by itself. It only chains two other skills from the same repository, so it breaks if those are absent — check that setup-devops-agent and setup-security-agent are available before you run it.

What it helps with

connect the AWS DevOps Agent MCP tools
stand up a Security Agent workspace with IAM role and S3 bucket
recover when MCP tools disappear from the agent
configure just one of the two agents
get started with the AWS toolkit without reading the docs first

Example prompts for the agent

set up the AWS DevOps Agent connection
configure the Security Agent workspace with an IAM role and S3 bucket
MCP tools are missing, run setup

# Setup

Run these skills in order:

1. Invoke the `setup-devops-agent` skill to configure the DevOps Agent MCP connection.
2. Invoke the `setup-security-agent` skill to configure the Security Agent workspace (agent space, IAM role, S3 bucket).

If the user only needs one agent, run only the relevant skill.
