What problem does it solve?
Managing Amazon SQS queues and messages manually is time-consuming and error-prone when creating, inspecting, and operating queues across AWS environments.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Queue Lifecycle: Create, configure, tag, and delete queues while tuning attributes and permissions in a single workflow.
- Message Handling & Visibility: Send, receive, delete, purge, and change the visibility of messages, with support for FIFO deduplication and batching.
- Monitoring & Dead Letter Insight: Inspect queue attributes, dead letter relationships, and related services such as Lambda, SNS, CloudWatch, Step Functions, and S3 triggering to keep messaging infrastructures healthy.
- Use Case: When a production FIFO queue needs updated visibility timeouts, permissions, and dead letter visibility before batch processing, use this skill to make the changes and verify the queue state.
Quick Start
Ask awsclaw-sqs to list all prod- prefixed queues and return their URLs along with approximate message counts.
