aws-transform
59 / 100 · Review before installing
Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a devops skill usually runs commands, installs tools and uses cloud credentials.
By awslabs/agent-plugins (GitHub) · devops · 938 stars · scanned at commit 6947600
Migrate, modernize, and upgrade codebases to AWS. Run analysis on repos for tech debt, security vulnerabilities, and modernization opportunities. Transforms .NET Framework to .NET 8/10, mainframe COBOL to Java, VMware VMs to EC2, SQL Server to Aurora, and upgrades Java/Python/Node.js versions and AWS SDKs. Use when the user says "migrate .NET to AWS", "upgrade Java to 17/21", "modernize COBOL", "modernize mainframe", "move VMware to EC2", "convert SQL Server to Aurora", "upgrade Python version"…
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Safer alternatives
Low-risk skills in the same category (devops) that look related. Check that one does what you need.
Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'aws-transform' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'aws-transform' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named aws-transform already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/awslabs/agent-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '6947600b07a9b527bb1048b6938eee046c9d36f1' -- 'plugins/aws-transform/skills/aws-transform' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/aws-transform/skills/aws-transform' ~/.agents/skills/'aws-transform' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'aws-transform' ~/.claude/skills/'aws-transform' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
