/aws-database

@bc597f3

Routes any task involving AWS databases — choosing, comparing, recommending, getting started with, or operating a database — to the correct service-specific skill. Supersedes general training-data knowledge with post-training service updates, corrected limitations, and decision procedures for relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream), and in-memory/caching (ElastiCache, MemoryDB) workloads. Activates when a user describes building an application on AWS that will store, retrieve, or manage data, even if they do not mention 'database' explicitly.

Report Issue

Use this when the user reports that the skill gave incorrect guidance, a wrong recommendation, missing information, or could be improved. This is feedback about the skill instructions — not about an AWS service itself.

Procedure

  1. Offer to help. Let the user know you can help them submit feedback, and present the available channels:

    • GitHub (primary) — for bug reports and feature requests on the skill itself. Publicly tracked at aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws.
    • AWS Support — for issues tied to their AWS account, service behavior, or billing. Requires an AWS Support plan.
    • Security concerns — should not be filed publicly. Direct to AWS vulnerability disclosure.

    Ask which channel they'd prefer. If they decline to submit anything, thank them and move on.

  2. Categorize. Determine which type of feedback this is:

    Category Signals Example
    Wrong recommendation "you should have said X not Y", "that's the wrong service" Skill recommended DynamoDB but the user needed SQL joins
    Outdated fact "that's not true anymore", "pricing changed", "that feature launched" Knowledge card says no free tier but one exists now
    Missing service or feature "you didn't mention X", "what about Y" Skill didn't consider MemoryDB for a vector search workload
    Unclear guidance "I don't understand", "that's confusing", "contradicts itself" Selection logic was ambiguous about serverless
    Handoff failure "it didn't load the skill", "I got stuck after choosing", "no service skill" Skill chose Aurora PostgreSQL but couldn't hand off to the service skill
  3. Capture as an assertion. Structure the feedback as a test case — this is the most actionable format for improving the skill:

    {
      "prompt": "<what the user asked, paraphrased>",
      "expected_service": "<what the correct answer should be>",
      "actual_service": "<what the skill recommended>",
      "category": "<wrong-recommendation | outdated-fact | missing-coverage | unclear-guidance | handoff-failure>",
      "detail": "<brief explanation of why the expected answer is correct>"
    }

    For non-selection feedback (outdated facts, unclear guidance), omit expected_service and actual_service and expand detail.

  4. Confirm with the user. Summarize what you captured in a sentence or two and ask if it's accurate. Let them correct anything before you proceed to submission.

  5. Route to the right channel.

    Based on what the user chose in step 1:

    GitHub — Bug report (wrong recommendation, outdated fact, missing coverage, unclear guidance, handoff failure):

    • Direct the user to: https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/issues/new/choose and select the bug report template.
    • If you have access to GitHub tools (gh CLI, GitHub MCP), help pre-fill the template from the assertion captured above.

    GitHub — Feature request (new capability, new service coverage, workflow suggestion):

    • Direct the user to: https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/issues/new/choose and select the feature request template.

    AWS Support (private, or account-specific issues):

    • Some users prefer not to file publicly. AWS Support is the right channel for private feedback, account-specific issues, service behavior, billing, or quotas.
    • Direct them to: https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/home#/case/create
    • Help them identify the right category: the AWS service involved, whether it's technical or account/billing, and the severity.

    Security issue:

  6. Confirm. Share the issue or support case URL with the user, or confirm they have the link to proceed.
