How does it help with security validation?

The skill implements a multi-layer validation strategy, primarily using cdk-nag at synthesis time to catch security vulnerabilities and policy violations before deployment.

Does this skill support multiple programming languages?

Yes, it provides specialized guidance and implementation patterns for both TypeScript/JavaScript and Python CDK projects.

Can it check for AWS service availability?

Yes, the integrated AWS Documentation MCP server allows the skill to verify real-time service features, regional availability, and account quotas.

Why does the skill recommend avoiding explicit resource names?

Allowing CDK to generate unique names automatically prevents naming collisions, supports parallel stack deployments in the same account, and ensures code remains reusable across environments.
