What this skill does
AWS SSO Login A skill to authenticate to AWS using Single Sign-On (SSO) for a specified profile. Purpose Perform SSO authentication before executing AWS CLI operations. SSO sessions typically expire after 8-12 hours, requiring re-authentication. Input Parameters profile: AWS CLI profile name configured for SSO (default: defined by project, e.g., web-hosting) If the profile name is not known/available from project docs or prior context, ask the user which AWS CLI profile to use before running this skill. Execution Steps 1. Execute aws sso login command with the specified profile 2. Open browser automatically (or provide a URL to open manually) 3. Complete authentication in the browser 4. Confirm successful authentication Command Example Project Configuration Document the default profile name (e.g., web-hosting) in a separate project guide such as .github/skills/README.md or a skill configuration file. Refer to that document when invoking this Skill so the same definition can be reused across repositories without editing the Skill itself. Output After successful authentication: SSO session is established and cached locally AWS CLI commands can be executed using the specified profile Session remains valid for the configured duration (typically 8-12 hours) Usage Examples After executing this skill, AWS CLI commands with the profile become available: Prerequisites AWS CLI v2 installed (SSO support requires v2 or later) SSO configuration set up in ~/.aws/config for the specified profile Web browser available for authentication Network access to the SSO authentication endpoint Notes SSO sessions expire after a configured duration (typically 8-12 hours) When the session expires, re-execute this skill to re-authenticate Browser-based authentication is required; this cannot be fully automated For headless environments, consider using --no-browser flag and manually opening the provided URL This skill should be executed before the assume-cloudformation-role skill if role assump …
