Guide your startup's AWS journey from day-one setup through production: get stage-appropriate architecture, cost, and security advice, access Activate credits and offers, and run GCP/AI workload migrations with automated artifact generation.
Interactive discovery + implementation workflow that gathers requirements through picker-based questions (intent, scope, constraints, preferences), scans the codebase for what it can already infer, then writes an AWS architectural scaffold and implementation directly into the project. Use when the user wants to build a new app, scaffold a project, or expand/refactor an existing one on AWS — anything that calls for a structured discovery flow followed by code changes, not a one-off lookup. Do not use for: factual lookups about AWS Activate / programs / credits, requests for a single copy-paste prompt, or non-AWS architectural work.
AWS architecture advisor tailored specifically for startups. Alters AWS architecture recommendations based on startup stage (pre-revenue through Series B+), team size, runway, and credits. ALWAYS use when asked about building on AWS, choosing services, planning infrastructure, managing costs with credits, or preparing architecture for fundraising.
AWS Startups reference content — Activate FAQ, credits guide, programs, partner offers, sample architectures, and hundreds of learn articles spanning generative AI, cloud architecture, cost optimization, security, fundraising, go-to-market, and real-world startup case studies. Use when the user asks factual questions about AWS Activate (eligibility, credits, programs, providers), wants a sample architecture or solution guide, or needs an AWS-curated learn article on a specific startup topic. For copy-paste AI prompts (RAG chatbot, MVP scaffold, security baseline, GPU quota, etc.), see the prompt-library-for-startups skill. Do not use for: account-specific lookups (credits balance, Activate membership status, application status), real-time event listings beyond the events stub, or content not present in the bundled `references/` tree.
Migrate workloads from Google Cloud Platform to AWS — including AI and agentic workloads regardless of cloud provider. Triggers on: migrate from GCP, GCP to AWS, move off Google Cloud, migrate Terraform to AWS, migrate Cloud SQL to RDS, migrate GKE to EKS, migrate Cloud Run to Fargate, Google Cloud migration, migrate from OpenAI to Bedrock, move off OpenAI, switch from ChatGPT API to AWS, migrate from Gemini to Bedrock, migrate LangChain to Bedrock, migrate LangGraph to AWS, migrate agentic workloads to AWS, move AI workloads to AWS, migrate my AI app to AWS. Runs a 6-phase process: discover GCP resources from Terraform files, app code, or billing exports, clarify migration requirements, design AWS architecture, estimate costs, generate migration artifacts, and collect optional feedback. Clarify must finish before Design, Estimate, or Generate. Includes AI provider migration guidance (for example, OpenAI to Amazon Bedrock) by selecting closest-fit Bedrock model families for required modality, latency/quality targets, context windows, and cost constraints. Model mapping is compatibility-guided, not 1:1 parity; validate prompts, tool-calling behavior, and eval metrics before cutover. Do not use for: Azure or on-premises migrations to AWS, AWS-to-GCP reverse migration, general AWS architecture advice without migration intent, GCP-to-GCP refactoring, or multi-cloud deployments that do not involve migrating off GCP.
AWS-curated copy-paste prompts for AI coding agents (MVP scaffolding, RAG chatbot with Claude on Bedrock, security baseline evaluation, cost anomaly detection, GPU quota requests, EKS deployment, Well-Architected review, etc.) plus downloadable installable agents (Multi-Account Transition Advisor, Bill Shock Preventer, Service Quota Agent). Use when the user asks for a prompt to do X on AWS, wants an installable agent for multi-account / cost monitoring / quota management, or asks how to use AWS prompts. For migration intent (GCP to AWS, OpenAI/Gemini to Bedrock), route to the migration-to-aws skill. Do not use for: factual AWS Activate / programs / credits questions, learn articles, sample architectures, or for prompts that are not in the bundled `references/prompt-library/` tree.
