agents-deploy
An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: automation, cloud, debugging, deployment, devops.
What it does
Use when deploying your agent to AWS, or when a deploy has failed. Handles pre-flight validation, CDK/IAM/quota error diagnosis, version management, rollback, and canary deployments. Triggers on: "deploy my agent", "agentcore deploy", "deploy failed", "CDK error", "rollback", "canary deploy", "pin version", "redeploy", "deploy stuck". Not for production hardening — use agents-harden. Not for adding capabilities before deploy — use agents-build or agents-connect. Not for VPC configuration errors — use agents-build.
Install
With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:
npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill agents-deploy
Or copy the skill folder into Claude Code's skills directory by hand (~/.claude/skills for every project, or .claude/skills inside one):
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws
cp -r agent-toolkit-for-aws/plugins/aws-agents/skills/agents-deploy ~/.claude/skills/agents-deploy
