SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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failed" error when launching Cline with Bedrock, this skill pinpoints whether the issue is a missing profile name, outdated CLI version, or invalid credential_process configuration and gives the exact commands to fix it.

FAQPage Schema
Why does my AWS Bedrock authentication fail with an AWS credential provider error in the Cline CLI?

The skill validates your Cline provider configuration, AWS environment variables, and local config files to identify the exact credential chain failure point. It checks STS identity resolution and local auth state to determine if the problem is missing profile names, expired SSO tokens, or invalid credential_process settings.

How do I fix AWS Bedrock region configuration errors when running Cline?

To fix AWS Bedrock region errors, you must validate that the region is explicitly set in your Cline provider configuration and matches an active Bedrock region. This skill checks your local AWS environment variables and config files to detect missing region settings and provides exact commands to resolve the mismatch.

How do I troubleshoot AWS SSO login issues affecting Bedrock model access?

Troubleshoot AWS SSO issues by validating STS identity resolution and checking for expired SSO tokens within your local AWS configuration. This skill examines your SSO authentication state and Cline provider settings to generate actionable remediation steps for resolving AccessDenied errors without modifying system files.

Does this diagnostic tool support all AWS Bedrock authentication methods?

Yes, this diagnostic tool supports all common Bedrock authentication methods including direct IAM keys, named AWS profiles, default credential chains, SSO, credential_process, assume role, and web identity. It safely validates these configurations to identify failures across multi-scheme auth setups.

What should I do when I get an AccessDenied error for a Bedrock model in Cline?

When you get an AccessDenied error for a Bedrock model, you need to verify Bedrock model availability and your IAM permissions in that specific region. This skill validates your STS identity resolution and model access configuration to provide clear, user-executable steps to request model access or fix permission policies.
