How to give Claude Code the official AWS skills with Agent Toolkit for AWS

Install the aws-core plugin so your agent knows service selection, CDK and CloudFormation, serverless and deployment.

Short answer: In Claude Code run /plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official; then 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. All steps.

Credentials. To call AWS APIs the agent needs local AWS credentials, so use a scoped profile and review what it wants to create or delete.

Who it is forA developer asking Claude Code to build on AWS who is tired of outdated or invented AWS advice.

The problemAgents guess at AWS services, IAM and deployment steps from stale training data.

The outcomeClaude Code with the aws-core plugin installed, covering service selection, CDK/CloudFormation, serverless, containers, storage, observability, billing, SDK usage and deployment.

What you need first

  • A supported coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin, Kiro or fx
  • uv installed for the Kiro, fx and other-agent setups
  • An AWS account with credentials configured locally for API calls and script execution (not needed for documentation search or skill discovery)

Steps

  1. In Claude Code run /plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official
  2. If you get Plugin not found, run /plugin marketplace update claude-plugins-official first and try again
  3. 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
  4. Ask Claude Code to plan your AWS architecture and watch it use the toolkit's skills

Prompt for your agent

Install the aws-core plugin with `/plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official`, then use it to recommend the smallest AWS architecture for <app>. List which services you chose, why, and what it would cost me, before you create anything.

Caveat. Plugins are for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor; other agents use the MCP server and skills setup instead.
