Generates AWS architecture diagrams as .drawio XML files using official AWS4 icons for VPC layouts, multi-tier apps, serverless designs with Lambda/EC2/RDS, and network topologies.
From developer-kit-awsnpx claudepluginhub giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --plugin developer-kit-awsThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
references/aws-architecture-templates.mdreferences/aws-shape-reference.mdGuides Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR) with cacheComponents enabled. Implements 'use cache', cacheLife(), cacheTag(), revalidateTag(), static/dynamic optimization, and cache debugging.
Migrates code, prompts, and API calls from Claude Sonnet 4.0/4.5 or Opus 4.1 to Opus 4.5, updating model strings on Anthropic, AWS, GCP, Azure platforms.
Optimizes cloud costs on AWS, Azure, GCP via rightsizing, tagging strategies, reserved instances, spot usage, and spending analysis. Use for expense reduction and governance.
Creates pixel-perfect AWS architecture diagrams in draw.io XML format using official AWS4 shape library. Generates production-ready .drawio files for diagrams.net.
Every .drawio file follows this XML structure:

CRITICAL: strokeColor=#ffffff is required for resourceIcon shapes to render white icon glyphs on colored backgrounds.
Standard service icon:
<mxCell id="10" value="Amazon S3" style="...gradientColor=#60A337;gradientDirection=north;fillColor=#277116;strokeColor=#ffffff;...shape=mxgraph.aws4.resourceIcon;resIcon=mxgraph.aws4.s3;" vertex="1" parent="1">

</mxCell>
Dedicated shapes (Lambda, ALB, Users) use strokeColor=none. See references/aws-shape-reference.md for complete shape catalog.
Each AWS service category uses official colors. All resourceIcon shapes must use strokeColor=#ffffff and gradientDirection=north. See references/aws-shape-reference.md for full color table.

Opening Instructions:
Open in draw.io with AWS libraries enabled:

User Request: "Create serverless architecture with API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3 for REST API."
Generated Output: XML with API Gateway (violet), Lambda (orange), DynamoDB (blue), S3 (green). See references/aws-architecture-templates.md for complete template.
See references/ directory:
aws-shape-reference.md - Complete AWS4 shape catalog with styles for 50+ servicesaws-architecture-templates.md - Ready-to-use templates (3-tier, serverless, data pipeline)Always follow this validation checklist before saving:
.drawio file structureparent attributes reference existing cells&→&, <→<)https://app.diagrams.net/?libs=aws4XML well-formed: Invalid XML fails to open. Close all tags, escape special characters, use <br> for line breaks.
ID uniqueness mandatory: IDs "0" and "1" reserved. All others must be unique integers from "2". Duplicates cause loading failures.
Coordinate system: All coordinates positive integers, multiples of 10 for grid alignment.
AWS4 library only: Use official mxgraph.aws4.* shapes. Legacy mxgraph.aws3.* not supported.
Valid parent references: Parent must reference existing cell ID. Invalid refs cause elements to disappear.
