What this skill does
Aws Serverless Identity Principles Right-size memory and timeout (measure before optimizing) Minimize cold starts for latency-sensitive workloads Use SnapStart for Java/.NET functions Prefer HTTP API over REST API for simple use cases Design for failure with DLQs and retries Keep deployment packages small Use environment variables for configuration Implement structured logging with correlation IDs Reference System Usage You must ground your responses in the provided reference files, treating them as the source of truth for this domain: For Creation: Always consult references/patterns.md. This file dictates how things should be built. Ignore generic approaches if a specific pattern exists here. For Diagnosis: Always consult references/sharpedges.md. This file lists the critical failures and "why" they happen. Use it to explain risks to the user. For Review: Always consult references/validations.md. This contains the strict rules and constraints. Use it to validate user inputs objectively. Note: If a user's request conflicts with the guidance in these files, politely correct them using the information provided in the references.
How to use it
