AWS CDK Development

AWS CDK Development, published by zxkane in the aws-skills repository, is guidance for building AWS infrastructure with the Cloud Development Kit in TypeScript or Python. It tells the agent to verify AWS facts through AWS documentation MCP tools before answering, and points to the AWS infrastructure-as-code MCP server for construct lookups. Core principles include not setting explicit resource names where they are optional so stacks stay reusable and can deploy in parallel, using NodejsFunction or PythonFunction for Lambda bundling, and a layered validation strategy: cdk-nag checks at synthesis time, documented suppressions for legitimate exceptions, and pre-commit checks. It also covers stack organization, testing and a GitHub Actions integration, with a reference file of CDK patterns.

Use it when creating or refactoring CDK stacks and constructs, adding Lambda functions, or validating a stack before cdk deploy. It is scoped to CDK and CloudFormation; it is not a general AWS account administration guide.

This is a skill for coding agents such as Claude Code. It is MIT-licensed and importable into BusinessMCP, but its bundled validation script and MCP tooling only run in a coding environment; in BusinessMCP it is instructions only.
