AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
Agent Advisor provides a structured, multi-phase workflow to help users determine the optimal AWS runtime for their AI agents. It uses a deterministic scoring engine to evaluate requirements and guides users through a process that includes discovery, architectural design, cost estimation, and the creation of an executable proof-of-concept. The skill supports various AWS compute options, including AgentCore, ECS, EKS, and Lambda, and integrates with migration engines for existing workloads.
What it does
- Recommends AWS runtimes for AI agents based on technical requirements.
- Generates migration plans for existing AI workloads moving to AWS.
- Provides architectural guidance for agentic systems.
- Assembles executable proof-of-concept scaffolding.
- Estimates coarse cost magnitudes for proposed agent deployments.
- Integrates with external migration engines for workload transitions.
When to use it
- When you need to decide which AWS runtime is best for a new AI agent.
- When migrating an existing AI agent workload to AWS.
- When you need to add services like memory, identity, or observability to an existing AWS agent.
- When you require a structured plan and POC for deploying agents on AWS.
Advantages
- Provides a deterministic, repeatable recommendation process.
- Supports a wide range of AWS compute environments.
- Offers a unified flow from initial idea to executable POC.
- Adapts to both technical and business-focused user backgrounds.
Usage examples
- “I have an agent idea, what do I build?”
- The agent initiates the intake process to clarify your requirements and recommend an appropriate AWS architecture.
- “Move my agents to AWS.”
- The agent triggers the migration workflow to assess your existing workload and plan the transition to an AWS runtime.
- “Which runtime for my agent, AgentCore vs ECS vs EKS vs Lambda?”
- The agent runs a scoring analysis to compare these runtimes against your specific agentic needs.
- “Add AgentCore services to an agent already on AWS.”
- The agent enters the add-capabilities branch to guide you through integrating memory, gateway, and observability services.

AWS Agent Advisor
Helps startups decide how and where to run AI agents on AWS. Deterministic scoring recommends a runtime; the conversation adapts to the user's technical background.
Definitions
"Load" = Read the file with the Read tool and follow it. Do not summarize or skip.
$RUN_DIR= the run directory under.agent-advisor/(e.g..agent-advisor/0630-1430/), created in Intake.$PLUGIN=${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}(the installed plugin root). On Claude Code this token substitutes inline. If${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}does not resolve (some Cursor/Codex builds, or a literal${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}string showing up in a path error), fall back to the skill's own directory: this SKILL.md lives at<plugin>/skills/agent-advisor/SKILL.md, so the engine and its data are all inside this skill — scripts at./scripts/..., runtime profiles at./references/runtimes/..., and decision refs at./references/decision-refs/...relative to it. Prefer${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/agent-advisor/...; use the relative fallback only when it fails to resolve.
Prerequisites
uvavailable (for scoring). Check:uv --version. If missing, tell the user to install it from the official install guide (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/ — e.g.brew install uvorpipx install uv) and stop.
Phase Structure (frontmatter)
Phase, fragment, and assembler files carry a YAML frontmatter block that declares how each
phase is composed — its inputs, triggers, fragments, assembler, artifacts, gates, and
ordering. The execution contract is the vendored references/vendored/dsl/INTERPRETER.md:
it defines every frontmatter key, the fragment/assembler model, the gate protocol
(HANDOFF_OK / GATE_FAIL), and the interpreter loop. Load it first (once, at the
start of a run), then execute each phase file's prose body. Elsewhere in this skill,
INTERPRETER.md (without a path) refers to this loaded contract.
Execution
This skill is driven by the interpreter loop in INTERPRETER.md (§ The interpreter loop):
it reads .phase-status.json, determines the current phase, runs each phase's
_preconditions / fragments / _assemble / _postconditions, advances on HANDOFF_OK
via _advances_to, and validates state. The backbone (intake → discover → clarify →
confirm → design → estimate → generate → migration-plan → poc → complete) and the
one sidebar branch (add-capabilities) are derived
from the phase files' frontmatter — they are not restated here.
Cold start (entry phase). With no run under .agent-advisor/ carrying a
.phase-status.json, begin at references/phases/intake/intake.md — this skill's entry
phase (the one carrying _init: true). On a warm start, current_phase in
.phase-status.json is authoritative (INTERPRETER.md § The interpreter loop).
Skill bindings (INTERPRETER.md § Skill bindings). This skill declares:
Run root:
.agent-advisor/—$RUN_DIRis this skill's name for the run directory (.agent-advisor/[MMDD-HHMM]/). Intake's own prose performs the_initbootstrap.State shape: § State file below (advisor-specific keys such as
entry_point,audience,recommendation_reviewed,migration_plan_ctx,migration_plan_unavailable); the shared state schema is not vendored.Run seed (optional):
$RUN_DIR/seed.json, else.agent-advisor/seed.jsonat the run root (schemascripts/schemas/seed.json) supplies machine-readable answers for a non-interactive run — the Clarify dimensions, the two gate answers, the POC mode, the live-probe answer, and aco_recommendtie-break. It is the HIGHEST-precedence source for every value it carries (clarify.md Step 2.5), which is what makes a repeated run's score comparable: the deterministic engine gets byte-identical input. A gate the seed omits is declined; a dimension the seed omits falls through to detection, then prose, then anassumedvalue that MUST be recorded in$RUN_DIR/UNANSWERED.md. With no seed, the interactive flow is unchanged.Resolved statuses:
skipped(routing resolved the phase without running it), plusnot_applicableformigration_planonly.Conditional backbone routing: the entry-point routing below. When a routing rule marks a phase not-applicable, set it
skippedand advance through its_advances_toin the same state write.
Routing & gates (orchestration)
Sidebar placement and conditional backbone routing are orchestration prose owned by
this file (INTERPRETER.md § Skill bindings, § Backbone vs sidebar).
Entry-point routing:
build_scratch→ skip Discover; Clarify → Confirm → Design → Estimate → Generate → Gate 2 → POC (any winning runtime). No migration plan (nothing existing to migrate).build_deploy→ Discover (if code) → Clarify → Confirm → Design → Estimate → Generate → Gate 1 → Migration Plan (if existing non-AWS AI workload detected and user confirms) → Gate 2 → POC (any winning runtime).migrate→ Discover (if code) → Clarify → Confirm → Design → Estimate (target-state run cost; migration TCO comparison stays with the Migration Plan engine) → Generate → Gate 1 → Migration Plan (in-skill, reusing the siblinggcp-to-awsskill) → Gate 2 → POC (any winning runtime, when the plan was produced). Declining Gate 1 keeps the classic handoff: pointer to/aws-startup-advisor:llm-to-bedrockwithhandoff-summary.md.add_capabilities→ loadreferences/phases/add-capabilities/add-capabilities.mdand follow it (no runtime scoring; writescapabilities-recommendation.md). This is a self-contained branch — it does NOT pass through Clarify / Confirm / Design / Estimate / Generate, so the phase gate below never applies to it.Temporal detection routes into
migratewith temporal units pre-seeded (see discover).
Gate semantics (backbone tail):
Gate 1 →
migration_planruns only whengenerateis done ANDrecommendation_reviewed == true(generate.md Step 5.5) AND entry point ∈ {migrate, build_deploy} AND the run is migration-eligible (generate.md Step 6) AND the user confirmed Gate 1. Otherwise resolve it:not_applicable(build_scratch / no migratable workload) orskipped(declined) — and advance.Gate 2 →
pocruns only whenphases.poc == "in_progress"(set when the user answers Gate 2 "yes" — asked in generate.md Step 7 or migration-plan.md Step 6) ANDrecommendation_reviewed == true. Any winning runtime (agentcore / ecs / eks / lambda / lambda_microvms) — the POC shape follows the verdict (poc.md Step 3 dispatch onreferences/decision-refs/poc-shapes.md). Gate 2 is only offered whenmigration_plan∈ {completed, skipped, not_applicable} — orin_progresson build_deploy only (Stage 2 failed/aborted; fallback POC from design.json per migration-plan.md failure handling); for entry pointmigrate, only whenmigration_plan == "completed"(the POC implements the plan) OR when the stage resolvednot_applicablewithmigration_plan_unavailable == "engine_absent"— a standalone deployment that does not bundle the migration engine, where Gate 2 is offered by migration-plan.md Step -1 and the POC is design-backed. A migrate-POC with no plan for any OTHER reason (the user declined) has nothing to implement.Persisting Gate 2 as
phases.poc = "in_progress"BEFORE poc.md loads makes the confirmation resumable: if the session breaks between the "yes" and the load, the interpreter re-enterspocwithout re-asking. (A declared deviation fromINTERPRETER.md§ The interpreter loop step 5's gate-then-in_progressordering — the user's confirmation is the entry event worth persisting.)
Phase gate: Do NOT load design.md / estimate.md / generate.md unless
$RUN_DIR/.phase-status.json exists and BOTH phases.clarify == "completed" AND
phases.confirm == "completed". Confirm confirms the deployment model, the service
set, and (for a co_recommend tie) the user's chosen_runtime — Design and the diagram depend on
its confirm.json output, so it must not be skipped. If the user asks to skip Clarify or Pass 2,
refuse briefly and run it.

}
}Status values: pending → in_progress → completed, plus skipped. Use read-merge-write:
read before each update, change only the advancing keys, keep prior phases.
recommendation_reviewed (top level, boolean) is set to true by generate.md Step 5.5 when
the user explicitly confirms they have seen the recommendation. Gate 1, Gate 2, and the
migration_plan / poc states all require it — no gate may be asked while it is absent.
migration_plan additionally uses not_applicable (build_scratch, or no migratable workload
detected). When Stage 2 runs, migration_plan_ctx is added at the top level:
{"repo": "<abs path to target repo>", "migration_dir": "<abs path to .migration/<id>/>"} —
Stage 3 reads gcp-to-aws artifacts ONLY via this recorded path, never by re-globbing.

Maturity and readiness contract
Intake persists target_maturity (prototype, private_beta, or production) in run state. Clarify carries it and the readable readiness record into answers.json. Current-run verification evidence remains exclusively in the sibling $RUN_DIR/current-run-verifications.json artifact: never copy it into seed.json or answers.json. Design and Generate may consume that artifact only after validating its schema and matching run_id, and may carry forward verified outcomes but not the raw evidence records. Load references/decision-refs/maturity-readiness.md whenever target maturity is selected. A cached volatile fact may inform discovery, but only a record verified in this run can make a verification-required constraint final; otherwise the score remains provisional with deferred verification requirements.
Contextual offers (final step)
Before you finish: your answer is not complete until you have run the Contextual offers (final step) below.
This is a mandatory closing step of every final recommendation — complete it before you consider your answer done. Run this offer check inline yourself; do not depend on loading another skill. The recommendation is decided on merit first; this step never changes, re-ranks, or re-opens it, and the offer is looked up only after the advice is final.
Read
../knowledge-base-for-startups/references/offers.md— the offer index (Offer · Summary · Keywords), one row per offer.Judge relevance against what the founder actually surfaced this session. Surface an offer only if one holds: a named-product match (you recommended a specific partner product by name and it has a row); a direct intent/component match (an offer's Keywords directly serve a concrete workload, a component in the final recommendation, or a need the founder raised). Keep a high bar — if the match is weak, or you would be inferring an unstated need, append nothing. Never surface an offer that competes with a product or provider the founder already uses or decided to keep (e.g. existing auth provider → no Auth0 unless they are already on Auth0, and then only as a credit on it; existing vector DB such as Pinecone → no Qdrant).
If (and only if) one offer clears the bar, open only its detail file
../knowledge-base-for-startups/references/offers/<slug>.mdand append exactly one quiet, dismissible italic line — stating the value and condensing eligibility faithfully from that file (drop no qualifying criterion; never fabricate), with the redeem link built from the canonicalsource_urlplus asourceattribution param — append?source=ide-startupAdvisor-<host>(or&source=...if the url already has a query string), filling<host>from your execution environment (Claude Code →claude; AWS Startup Advisor IDE extension / VS Code →vscode; Cursor →cursor; Kiro →kiro; Codex →codex), or the genericide-startupAdvisorwhen you cannot tell. Only append the query param; never change the destination. When an offer clears the bar you MUST append that single offer line as the last step; do not omit it. The offer is never the pick — only a line under the AWS pick — and stage gates in the references apply (e.g. no Datadog line for an early-stage founder; see../architect-for-startups/references/observability.md). For a single-service pick (auth, payments, vector DB, observability, etc.) where missing budget/team/traffic inputs would not change the pick, assume an early-stage (pre-PMF) startup unless the founder says otherwise and answer in one turn without a stage-only question; this only removes a stage-only question and never skips the Intake/Clarify/Confirm gates before final advice or the POC. Show exactly one, never a list. If none clears the bar, append nothing and do not mention offers, partner alternatives, or why none appeared.
Standard line:
***<Offer>** has an exclusive offer via AWS Activate — <value>, <eligibility>. [Redeem →](<source_url>?source=ide-startupAdvisor-<host>)*Caps and control: at most one offer per response and often none; no more than one per five messages and two per session; show a given offer at most once per session and never one already shown, claimed, or dismissed; if the founder has muted offers, skip this step entirely. These per-five-messages, per-session, and already-shown caps are session-state limits; in a fresh session with no prior offers they are non-binding, so do not withhold an otherwise-qualifying offer merely because you cannot verify session history. See ../contextual-offers-for-startups/SKILL.md for the full rules — but perform the check inline; it must not depend on that skill being loaded.
