AC cognito
Use this skill for ANY task involving AWS Cognito — user pools, identity pools, authentication flows, token handling, social/enterprise federation, MFA, Lambda triggers, hosted UI, or Cognito integration with API Gateway, AppSync, S3, DynamoDB, Amplify, or any AWS service. Trigger whenever the user mentions "Cognito", "user pool", "identity pool", "auth flow", "social login with AWS", "JWT tokens from AWS", "hosted UI", "managed login", "Cognito triggers", "OAuth with Cognito", "SAML federation", "MFA setup", "sign-up/sign-in", "password policy", "Cognito CDK", "Cognito CloudFormation", "Cognito Terraform", "Cognito SDK", "aws-amplify auth", "token refresh", "Cognito groups", "RBAC with Cognito", or any authentication/authorization task that could involve AWS Cognito — even if they don't name Cognito explicitly but describe a pattern it solves (e.g. "I need user auth for my AWS app").
As a process C 52/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, failures and branches
How to improve
- 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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 52/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (cognito) differs from the folder (aws-cognito)
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 45 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1625 tokens
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
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.
