BF debugging-lambda-timeouts

Debugs AWS Lambda function timeout failures by systematically analyzing function configuration, CloudWatch logs and metrics, VPC/networking, cold starts, memory constraints, and downstream dependencies to identify root causes with actionable fixes. Use when a Lambda function is timing out or approaching its timeout limit.

How to improve

  1. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: references/lambda-timeout-debugging.md

Process rating: all ten parameters 27/100

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: references/lambda-timeout-debugging.md
  • 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: references/lambda-timeout-debugging.md
  • 0Steps. Prose only: no discrete steps
  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 405 tokens
  • 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
