investigating-incidents-with-aws-devops-agent

An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: analysis, cloud, incident-response, logs, troubleshooting.

What it does

Run a deep root-cause investigation on the AWS DevOps Agent. Use when the user describes an incident, alarm, outage, or unexplained behavior — keywords like "5xx", "503", "OOM", "latency spike", "deployment failure", "rollback", "sev1", "investigate", "root cause", "debug", "alarm fired", "service down". Polls and streams progress, then surfaces recommendations.

Install

With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:

npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill investigating-incidents-with-aws-devops-agent

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-for-devsecops/skills/investigating-incidents-with-aws-devops-agent ~/.claude/skills/investigating-incidents-with-aws-devops-agent
