Fast infrastructure mutations without guardrails are not a strength.</li>\n<li>Never print secrets, decrypted parameters, or hidden environment values. Summarize sanitized evidence only.</li>\n<li>Load references only when needed; do not pull all deep guidance into short answers.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<p>Load these only when needed:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/workflow-and-output.md\">Workflow and output contract</a> — use when executing the guarded workflow or formatting the final answer.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/safety-checklist.md\">Safety checklist</a> — use before any live AWS mutation recommendation or approval checkpoint.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/approval-and-target-checklist.md\">Approval and target checklist</a> — use when the environment, identity, blast radius, or approval state must be made explicit.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/official-sources.md\">Official sources</a> — use when grounding AWS service behavior or checking the detailed source list.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Response minimum</h2>\n<p>Return, at minimum:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>confirmed stack or workload target plus account and region</li>\n<li>preview evidence such as change set, diff, plan, or drift status</li>\n<li>stack policy or rollback trigger posture</li>\n<li>approval status for execute</li>\n<li>post-execution verification and rollback notes or refusal reason</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"metadata.json","sizeBytes":1276,"isText":true},{"path":"references/approval-and-target-checklist.md","sizeBytes":796,"isText":true},{"path":"references/official-sources.md","sizeBytes":1894,"isText":true},{"path":"references/safety-checklist.md","sizeBytes":752,"isText":true},{"path":"references/workflow-and-output.md","sizeBytes":998,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":2971,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
