Execution Rule

• Never run raw aws ... shell commands directly.
• Execute all AWS operations through the aws-api skill.
• For AWS tasks not covered by the reference files above, use the aws-api skill directly, e.g. S3, ECR, ECS, SES, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB etc.

Common Preconditions

• AWS operations: AWS credentials configured for aws-api MCP — run the aws-enable-cli action if missing.
• RunPod operations: runpodctl installed and API key configured via runpodctl doctor.

Adding a New Cloud Provider

1. Create references/<provider>-<action>.md with the provider's workflow.
2. Add a new section to the Action Index table above.
