What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns vague workload ideas into an AWS architecture that includes service selection, a diagram, IaC scaffolding, a cost estimate, and a risk/alternatives review.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Well-Architected-driven design: Chooses AWS services mapped to the six Well-Architected pillars and records the rationale and alternatives.
• Clear architecture artifacts: Produces a diagram (Mermaid) plus a structured architecture document covering requirements, components, security, reliability, performance, cost, and operations.
• Actionable next steps: Generates IaC scaffolding skeletons and ensures mandatory cost estimation and ADRs for structural decisions.
• Use Case: You’re planning a new refund or events-driven feature and need a production-ready AWS blueprint for compute, data, integrations, and scaling with budget guardrails.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to design an AWS architecture for "a new feature processing refund events" with your expected traffic, SLA targets, compliance constraints, and monthly budget so it can produce the diagram, cost estimate, and IaC scaffolding.
