What problem does it solve?
This skill resolves frustrating, hard-to-debug AWS Bedrock authentication and region configuration errors that occur when using the Cline CLI, eliminating guesswork for users facing credential, profile, SSO, or model access failures.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-scheme auth diagnosis: Identifies issues across all common Bedrock auth methods including API keys, direct IAM keys, named AWS profiles, default credential chains, SSO, credential_process, assume role, and web identity.
- Safe config validation: Checks Cline provider settings, AWS environment variables, and local AWS config/credentials files without exposing sensitive data.
- Actionable fix guidance: Provides clear, user-executable steps to resolve issues like missing regions, expired SSO tokens, failed credential processes, or missing Bedrock model access. For example, if a user receives an "AWS credential provider failed" error when launching Cline with Bedrock, this skill pinpoints whether the issue is a missing profile name, outdated CLI version, or invalid credential_process configuration and gives the exact commands to fix it.
