What programming languages does this skill support?

The skill primarily focuses on TypeScript and Python, offering specialized guidance for constructs like NodejsFunction and PythonFunction.

Can I use this for existing AWS CDK projects?

Absolutely. The skill is optimized for both creating new stacks from scratch and refactoring or validating existing infrastructure.

How does this skill handle AWS security best practices?

It integrates cdk-nag for synthesis-time validation and emphasizes account-level isolation and automated resource naming to prevent conflicts.

Does this skill require specific MCP servers?

Yes, it is designed to work with AWS MCP tools for real-time documentation and the CDK MCP server for construct-specific utilities.

Why does the skill discourage explicit resource naming?

Letting CDK generate names automatically enables parallel deployments, prevents collisions, and makes your infrastructure code more reusable across environments.

Cloud Infrastructure

Builds, validates, and deploys scalable AWS cloud infrastructure using the Cloud Development Kit with TypeScript and Python.

About

This skill provides specialized expertise for architecting and implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). It integrates real-time AWS documentation and CDK-specific MCP servers to ensure your stacks follow current best practices, including automated resource naming, secure Lambda development, and multi-layer validation with cdk-nag. Whether you are refactoring existing constructs or designing complex serverless architectures, this skill streamlines the development workflow from initial design to production deployment.

Key Features

Optimized Lambda function patterns for TypeScript and Python
Comprehensive AWS documentation access via integrated MCP servers
1 GitHub stars
Multi-layered pre-deployment safety checks using cdk-nag
Standardized infrastructure naming and security boundary enforcement
Automated CDK construct recommendations and best practice validation

Use Cases

Implementing organizational security standards through cdk-nag Aspects
Scaling cloud infrastructure using nested stacks and reusable construct libraries
Designing and deploying serverless applications with Lambda and API Gateway
