SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It brings AWS connectivity, session management, and safe resource handling into VS Code so you can work with AWS services directly from chat without juggling multiple consoles or remembering CLI commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session management lets you view, switch, or refresh profiles, regions, and endpoints while staying in the editor.
  • Operational tools cover local file operations, service exploration, and test connection calls as you iterate on infrastructure tasks.
  • Cross-service discovery explains relationships like which Lambda functions write to CloudWatch logs or how CloudFormation ties resources together.
  • Use case: Quickly confirm which profile is active, test an STS connection, and then ask CloudWatch tools to surface recent logs without leaving VS Code.

Quick Start

Ask Awsclaw to list available profiles and test your AWS connection to ensure the session is ready for other tool calls.

Do I need the AWS CLI installed to control AWS from VS Code chat?

You need the awsclaw extension installed in VS Code or a compatible editor. The skill uses local credential provider chains to authenticate, eliminating the need to manually remember CLI commands.

How does cross-service discovery work for AWS resources like Lambda and CloudFormation?

Cross-service discovery explains resource relationships, such as which Lambda functions write to CloudWatch logs or how CloudFormation ties resources together, directly within your VS Code chat workflow.

Are there safety confirmations for mutating AWS API calls made through VS Code?

Yes, the skill applies safety confirmations for mutating API calls to ensure safe resource handling. This prevents unintended infrastructure changes when you execute operations from the chat interface.
