What problem does it solve? Developers often hit missing or expired AWS credentials when running CLI or SDK operations locally, and long-term access keys create security risks. This Skill guides the AI through authenticating to AWS with aws login, which provides short-term, auto-rotating credentials valid for up to 12 hours. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided aws login flow: Checks the AWS CLI version (2.32.0+ required), inspects current credentials with aws sts get-caller-identity, asks for confirmation, then runs aws login and verifies the result. - Error handling: Covers missing or outdated CLI, browsers that fail to open (aws login --remote), permission errors requiring the SignInLocalDevelopmentAccess managed policy, and GovCloud/China region limitations. - Workflow boundaries: Respects existing aws sso login setups, only offers aws configure as a fallback, and redirects CI/CD credential needs to IAM roles or OIDC federation. - Use Case: A developer runs an AWS CLI command and gets an AccessDeniedException with no configured credentials. The Skill checks their CLI version, confirms no valid session exists, and walks them through aws login to get working credentials. ## Quick Start Set up my AWS credentials for local development using aws login.
