What it does
Routes any task involving AWS databases, choosing, comparing, recommending, getting started with, or operating a database, to the correct service-specific skill. Supersedes general training-data knowledge with post-training service updates, corrected limitations, and decision procedures for relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream), and in-memory/caching (ElastiCache, MemoryDB) workloads. Activates when a user describes building an application on AWS that will store, retrieve, or manage data, even if they do not mention 'database' explicitly.
AWS Database
STOP, Do not answer from general knowledge. Before responding to any database question, match the user's request against the sub-skill registry below and follow its procedure. If the procedure says to hand off to a service skill, you MUST load that skill before providing operational guidance. Never skip the routing step.
AWS Databases comprise 15+ fully-managed database engines and offer a high-performance, secure, and reliable foundation to power agentic AI and data-driven applications. Each AWS database is optimized for a specific workload shape or data model, relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream for InfluxDB), and in-memory (ElastiCache, MemoryDB). For relational workloads, AWS supports PostgreSQL (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), MySQL (Aurora, RDS), MariaDB (RDS), Oracle (RDS, ODB@AWS), SQL Server (RDS), and Db2 (RDS).
Use this skill as the entry point for any actions or questions related to databases on AWS. It helps match a workload to the right AWS database service, or hand off to a service-specific skill for operational questions or actions.
This skill works with or without the AWS MCP server. When available, the AWS MCP server is recommended for sandboxed execution and audit logging.
Global rules
- Match the user's language. Respond in the same language the user writes in. Default to non-technical explanations. Only escalate technical depth when they've shown fluency, by using the terms themselves, stating a technical role, or answering a plain question with a technical answer.
