Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
5 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by aj-geddes on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Aws Ec2 Setup AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts.git /tmp/useful-ai-prompts
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/useful-ai-prompts/skills/aws-ec2-setup .claude/skills/aws-ec2-setup

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aws Ec2 Setup in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Aws Ec2 Setup on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Aws Ec2 Setup is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Overview

Amazon EC2 provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. Launch and configure virtual servers with complete control over networking, storage, and security settings. Scale automatically based on demand.

When to Use

Web application servers
Application backends and APIs
Batch processing and compute jobs
Development and testing environments
Containerized applications (ECS)
Kubernetes clusters (EKS)
Database servers
VPN and proxy servers

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

bash
# Create security group
aws ec2 create-security-group \
  --group-name web-server-sg \
  --description "Web server security group" \
  --vpc-id vpc-12345678

# Add ingress rules
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id sg-0123456789abcdef0 \
  --protocol tcp \
  --port 80 \
  --cidr 0.0.0.0/0

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id sg-0123456789abcdef0 \
  --protocol tcp \
  --port 443 \
  --cidr 0.0.0.0/0

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id sg-0123456789abcdef0 \
  --protocol tcp \
  --port 22 \
  --cidr YOUR_IP/32

Best Practices

✅ DO

Use security groups for network control
Attach IAM roles for AWS access
Enable CloudWatch monitoring
Use AMI for consistent deployments
Implement auto-scaling for variable load
Use EBS for persistent storage
Enable termination protection for production
Keep systems patched and updated

❌ DON'T

Use overly permissive security groups
Store credentials in user data
Ignore CloudWatch metrics
Use outdated AMIs
Create hardcoded configurations
Forget to monitor costs

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aws Ec2 Setup AI skill do?

Launch and configure EC2 instances with security groups, IAM roles, key pairs, AMIs, and auto-scaling. Use for virtual servers and managed infrastructure.

Why use Aws Ec2 Setup on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aws Ec2 Setup is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Aws Ec2 Setup in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts/tree/main/skills/aws-ec2-setup. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aws Ec2 Setup?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Aws Ec2 Setup?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Aws Ec2 Setup with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Aws Ec2 Setup AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by aj-geddes under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
