aws-sdk-swift-usage
An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: api, cloud, sdk, swift, validation.
What it does
AWS SDK for Swift development patterns. Use when writing Swift code that uses AWS services via aws-sdk-swift package.
Install
With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:
npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-sdk-swift-usageOr 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-core/skills/aws-sdk-swift-usage ~/.claude/skills/aws-sdk-swift-usageSafety box score
Grade A, minimal risk: 9 of 100 risk points, rated 2026-10-15. The grade rates what the skill and its scripts can reach on the machine of whoever installs it, across eight categories from shell execution to secrets access. How the score works.
This skill is a reference guide for writing Swift code against AWS SDK for Swift; it does not ship any executable scripts. The main risks are that copied examples can embed AWS credentials in source and can direct SDK traffic to custom endpoints or presigned URLs.
| Category | Level | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Code & shell execution | 0 (none) | No shell commands, scripts, or code execution primitives are shipped; the file is documentation only. |
| Network access | 1 (low) | It teaches generating code that makes AWS requests and even supports arbitrary endpoints via `endpoint: "https://s3.custom-endpoint.com"`. |
| Filesystem reach | 0 (none) | No reads, writes, or deletes outside the project are described in the skill. |
| Secrets & credentials | 1 (low) | The examples include inline credential material, e.g. `AWSCredentialIdentity(accessKey: "AKIA...", secret: "...")`, which can lead to hard-coded secrets if copied. |
| Privilege & persistence | 0 (none) | No sudo, service registration, shell/profile modification, or other privilege-changing actions are present. |
| Instruction hijack surface | 0 (none) | There are no instructions to ignore safeguards, hide behavior, or follow remotely fetched instructions. |
| Irreversible actions | 0 (none) | The skill does not send messages, deploy, publish, pay, or take other autonomous external actions. |
| Transparency | 0 (none) | The only file is readable markdown; there are no binaries, blobs, or decoded-at-runtime contents. |
Before installing
- Review any generated Swift for hard-coded AWS keys or secrets before committing.
- Try the examples in a sandbox AWS account with non-production credentials.
- Check whether any generated client config sets a custom `endpoint` or presigned URL flow.
