aws-blocks

An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: architecture, automation, cloud, local-workflow, web.

What it does

Guides building full-stack applications with AWS Blocks — an Infrastructure-from-Code framework. Applies when creating APIs, selecting Building Blocks (KVStore, DistributedTable, Database, AuthBasic, AuthCognito, Realtime, AsyncJob, FileBucket, etc.), running local development, or deploying AWS Blocks applications. Also covers AWS Blocks topics with validated, version-specific patterns that prevent common mistakes. Triggers when user mentions AWS Blocks; project has aws-blocks/ directory; code imports @aws-blocks packages.

Install
