Localized reading guide

hf-cloud-aws-context-discoveryPurpose, usage and source

Discover the user's local AWS context (active profile, region, account ID, caller identity) at the start of any AWS task. Use this skill before any other AWS work — deploying to SageMaker, creating resources, calling AWS APIs, or anything that touches an AWS account. Use it especially when the user has not specified a region or profile explicitly, when they say things like "use my AWS account", "deploy to AWS", "use my profile", or when about to make any AWS CLI or SDK call. Never guess the region or account ID — always use this skill to read it from the local configuration first.

What this Skill does

How the upstream workflow works

AWS Context Discovery

Before doing any AWS work, read the user's local AWS config. Don't guess the region, and don't ask the user for things their config already answers.

Upstream passage · L6 ↗

What to discover

Run these at the start of the AWS work and remember the results for the rest of the session.

Upstream passage · L10 ↗

1. Active profile

AWS_PROFILE env var, else default. If the user mentioned a profile in their prompt, that overrides. If the named profile doesn't exist in ~/.aws/config, surface that clearly.

Upstream passage · L14 ↗

Upstream passage · bash ↗

aws sts get-caller-identity --profile <profile> --region <region>

Requirements and setup

No short requirements passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill has no dependencies. Check the repository setup instructions and referenced files.

Limits and quality checks

No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.

Start with a safe trial

Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
