What problem does it solve?

Manually discovering all deployed AWS resources in an Amplify sandbox (DynamoDB tables, Lambda functions, etc.) can be time-consuming and requires navigating the AWS console. This Skill automates the discovery process, providing a quick, comprehensive inventory of your sandbox resources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Resource Discovery: Reads amplify_outputs.json and queries the AppSync API to list all deployed DynamoDB tables, Lambda functions, data models, and authentication configurations.
  • Physical Name Visibility: Presents physical AWS names and ARNs, making it easy to use with AWS CLI for further interaction and debugging.
  • Quick Health Check: Helps verify that all expected resources were created correctly after running npx ampx sandbox, ensuring your deployment is sound.
