Build, deploy, and operate AI agents on AWS with guided workflows for every stage of the developer journey. This plugin covers the full agent lifecycle using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore as the primary runtime.

Overview

This plugin provides 7 skills covering the full agent lifecycle — from scaffolding a new project to production hardening. Skills use progressive disclosure to load detailed reference material on demand, keeping context lean while providing deep expertise when needed.

Routing guide

When in doubt about which skill to reach for:

Starting from nothing? → agents-get-started
Environment/CLI broken? → agents-debug (loads references/doctor.md)
Adding new capabilities to a working project? → agents-build
Connecting to external tools/APIs or restricting access? → agents-connect
Ready to ship? → agents-deploy
Agent is broken? → agents-debug
Measuring quality, observability, or cost? → agents-optimize
Going to production? → agents-harden
