AWS Sam Bootstrap Agent Skill

Provides AWS SAM bootstrap patterns: generates `template.yaml` and `samconfig.toml` for new projects via `sam init`, creates SAM templates for existing Lambda/CloudFormation code migration, validates build/package/deploy workflows, and configures local testing with `sam local invoke`. Use when the user asks about SAM projects, `sam init`, `sam deploy`, serverless deployments, or needs to bootstrap/migrate Lambda functions with SAM templates.

AWS SAM Bootstrap

Overview

Generates SAM project artifacts for greenfield and migration scenarios. Creates the minimum required files (template.yaml, samconfig.toml, events/), validates with sam build, and configures sam deploy workflows following AWS SAM conventions.

When to Use

User needs to start a new AWS SAM project (sam init, sam deploy)
User wants to migrate existing Lambda functions or CloudFormation resources to SAM templates
User asks about SAM CLI commands (sam init, sam build, sam local invoke, sam deploy)
User needs to create or update template.yaml or samconfig.toml for serverless deployments
User wants to configure local testing with sam local invoke for Lambda functions

Instructions

1) Classify Scenario

New project: no Lambda structure exists. Run sam init to scaffold.
Existing project migration: Lambda/CloudFormation resources exist. Create template.yaml manually.

2) Select Runtime and Package Type

Use current non-deprecated runtimes. Package type: Zip (default) or Image (container/native deps).

3) Bootstrap New Projects

sam init
sam build
sam local invoke <LogicalFunctionId> -e events/event.json
sam deploy --guided

4) Bootstrap Existing Projects

Inspect current Lambda handlers, runtime, and dependency layout
Create template.yaml with Transform: AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31
Map existing resources to AWS::Serverless::Function and related SAM resources
Create samconfig.toml with deploy defaults and environment overrides
Add events/event.json payload samples for local invocation
Validate with sam validate and sam build before deploy

5) Required Artifacts

.
├── template.yaml
├── samconfig.toml
└── events/
    └── event.json

See reference templates: examples.md, migration-checklist.md

6) Validation Checklist

sam validate succeeds
sam build succeeds
template.yaml has correct logical IDs and handlers
samconfig.toml contains deploy parameters for target environments

Examples

New SAM Project

sam init  # Interactive scaffold
sam build
sam local invoke HelloFunction -e events/event.json
sam deploy --guided

Migrate Existing Lambda

Detect handler/runtime → create template.yaml with SAM transform
Add samconfig.toml with stack_name, capabilities, resolve_s3
Add events/event.json → validate with sam build

Full templates in references/examples.md.

Best Practices

One deployable function first, then expand; keep migration-first PRs minimal
Keep samconfig.toml committed for deterministic deployments
Use environment-specific sections ([default], [prod]) instead of CLI flags
Map existing handler paths to SAM conventions during migration

Constraints and Warnings

SAM CLI must be installed locally for command execution
CAPABILITY_IAM is required when IAM resources are created
Container image packaging requires Docker availability
Existing projects may require refactoring handler paths to match SAM conventions
sam deploy --guided writes local configuration; review before committing

Azure Kubernetes Automatic Readiness

by microsoft

vendor ×3

Assess Kubernetes workloads and cluster configuration for AKS Automatic compatibility. Identifies incompatibilities, generates fixes, and guides migration from AKS Standard to AKS Automatic. WHEN: migrate to AKS Automatic, check AKS Automatic readiness, validate manifests for Automatic, assess cluster for Automatic compatibility, fix deployment for Automatic compatibility, identify AKS Automatic migration blockers, is my cluster ready for AKS Automatic.

Discovers available Azure OpenAI model capacity across regions and projects. Analyzes quota limits, compares availability, and recommends optimal deployment locations based on capacity requirements. USE FOR: find capacity, check quota, where can I deploy, capacity discovery, best region for capacity, multi-project capacity search, quota analysis, model availability, region comparison, check TPM availability. DO NOT USE FOR: actual deployment (hand off to preset or customize after discovery), quota increase requests (direct user to Azure Portal), listing existing deployments.

Interactive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control. Step-by-step selection of model version, SKU (GlobalStandard/Standard/ProvisionedManaged), capacity, RAI policy (content filter), and advanced options (dynamic quota, priority processing, spillover). USE FOR: custom deployment, customize model deployment, choose version, select SKU, set capacity, configure content filter, RAI policy, deployment options, detailed deployment, advanced deployment, PTU deployment, provisioned throughput. DO NOT USE FOR: quick deployment to optimal region (use preset).

Unified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing. Handles quick preset deployments, fully customized deployments (version/SKU/capacity/RAI policy), and capacity discovery across regions and projects. USE FOR: deploy model, deploy gpt, create deployment, model deployment, deploy openai model, set up model, provision model, find capacity, check model availability, where can I deploy, best region for model, capacity analysis. DO NOT USE FOR: listing existing deployments (use foundry_models_deployments_list MCP tool), deleting deployments, agent creation (use agent/create), project creation (use project/create).

Intelligently deploys Azure OpenAI models to optimal regions by analyzing capacity across all available regions. Automatically checks current region first and shows alternatives if needed. USE FOR: quick deployment, optimal region, best region, automatic region selection, fast setup, multi-region capacity check, high availability deployment, deploy to best location. DO NOT USE FOR: custom SKU selection (use customize), specific version selection (use customize), custom capacity configuration (use customize), PTU deployments (use customize).

This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.

Latch platform for bioinformatics workflows. Build pipelines with Latch SDK, @workflow/@task decorators, deploy serverless workflows, LatchFile/LatchDir, Nextflow/Snakemake integration.

Run Python code in the cloud with serverless containers, GPUs, and autoscaling. Use when deploying ML models, running batch processing jobs, scheduling compute-intensive tasks, or serving APIs that require GPU acceleration or dynamic scaling.
