  "In Claude Code run `/plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official`",
  "If you get Plugin not found, run `/plugin marketplace update claude-plugins-official` first and try again",
  "Optionally add `/plugin install aws-agents@claude-plugins-official` for Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore agents, or `/plugin install aws-data-analytics@claude-plugins-official` for S3 Tables, AWS Glue and Athena",
  "Ask Claude Code to plan your AWS architecture and watch it use the toolkit's skills"
