The Agent Skills Directory

Command Execution: The skill leverages the AWS CLI to automate the discovery and creation of cloud resources. It utilizes commands such as aws ec2 run-instances and aws iam create-role to provision and configure infrastructure. These actions are consistent with the skill's primary purpose of cloud management.
File Management: The skill manages local files for security artifacts and reporting. It generates an SSH private key file and a launch report. It adheres to security standards by applying restrictive permissions (chmod 400) to the key file and explicitly instructing the user to keep the key private and not share it with the AI agent.
Indirect Prompt Injection Surface: The skill processes user-provided parameters to configure the EC2 instance. Ingestion points: Parameters like workload_type, region, and instance_name are collected in references/launch-ec2-instance-with-best-practices.md. Boundary markers: The skill uses a structured step-by-step procedure with confirmation checkpoints, which helps ensure that user inputs are processed as intended. Capability inventory: The skill has the ability to execute AWS CLI commands and perform local file writes through standard shell operations. Sanitization: The procedure incorporates validation logic, such as checking for valid CIDR blocks and verifying AMI compatibility, to help prevent misconfiguration or unintended behavior from user inputs.
