ROSA AWS Context

ROSA AWS Context

Use this skill when:

• Touching pkg/aws/ or AWS-related command flows
• Editing AWS setup, prerequisites, or troubleshooting docs
• Changing wording around HCP, classic, STS, IAM, OIDC, VPC, subnet, quota, or region behavior

Workflow

• Read AGENTS.md and guidelines/aws-guidelines.md, then use the linked external ROSA and AWS references first.
• Determine whether the change is HCP-only, classic-only, or shared.
• Cross-check architecture claims against the ROSA architecture docs before changing code comments, help text, or docs.
• Confirm prerequisite claims against the ROSA setup docs, especially quotas, support plans, SCP constraints, and STS token version notes.
• Validate AWS CLI install, profile, and config guidance against official AWS CLI documentation before editing examples.
• Prefer existing AWS helper functions and client wrappers over ad-hoc SDK usage.
• Do not silently bump AWS SDK or related dependency versions; if a bump is required, call it out explicitly, explain why, and validate downstream impact.
• Do not hardcode credentials or add logging that exposes secret material.
• If code behavior and official docs appear to disagree, surface the mismatch explicitly instead of guessing.

Verification

• Re-read the exact doc section that supports the changed behavior or wording.
• Check user-facing examples for current commands and options.
• Run the relevant local checks from CONTRIBUTING.md and Makefile.
