  • 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.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by automateyournetwork on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

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

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/automateyournetwork/netclaw/tree/main/workspace/skills/aws-network-ops
  4. 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/automateyournetwork/netclaw.git /tmp/netclaw
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/netclaw/workspace/skills/aws-network-ops .claude/skills/aws-network-ops
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aws Network Ops 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 Network Ops 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 Network Ops 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.

Workflow: VPC Network Audit

When a user asks "show me our AWS network" or "audit the VPCs":

  1. List VPCs: list_vpcs to see all VPCs in the region
  2. For each VPC: get_vpc_network_details — subnets, route tables, gateways, NACLs
  3. Check TGW: list_transit_gateways to see cross-VPC connectivity
  4. Check VPN: list_vpn_connections for hybrid connectivity
  5. Check firewalls: list_network_firewalls for security posture
  6. Report: Formatted summary of the cloud network architecture

Workflow: Troubleshoot Connectivity

When a user asks "why can't EC2 instance X reach Y?":

  1. Find the IPs: find_ip_address for both source and destination
  2. Get ENI details: get_eni_details to check security groups, subnet, routes
  3. Check route tables: get_vpc_network_details to see routing
  4. Check flow logs: get_vpc_flow_logs to see if traffic is being dropped
  5. Check firewalls: get_firewall_rules if traffic crosses a Network Firewall
  6. Check TGW: get_tgw_routes if traffic crosses Transit Gateway
  7. Report: Root cause analysis with fix recommendation

Workflow: Transit Gateway Health

When checking multi-VPC connectivity:

  1. List TGWs: list_transit_gateways
  2. Get details: get_tgw_details for attachments and route tables
  3. Check routes: get_all_tgw_routes for route table completeness
  4. Check peerings: list_tgw_peerings for cross-region/cross-account
  5. Check inspection: detect_tgw_inspection for security posture
  6. Flow logs: get_tgw_flow_logs for traffic analysis

Workflow: VPN Tunnel Monitoring

When checking hybrid connectivity:

  1. List VPNs: list_vpn_connections
  2. Check tunnel status: Up/Down for each tunnel (redundancy check)
  3. Check routes: TGW or VGW routes for the VPN prefixes
  4. Flow logs: VPC flow logs for traffic across VPN
  5. Report: VPN health summary with any down tunnels flagged

Important Rules

  • Read-only — this MCP cannot create, modify, or delete any AWS resources
  • Region-specific — results are scoped to the configured AWS_REGION
  • IAM permissions required — EC2 Describe, Network Manager, Network Firewall Describe, CloudWatch Logs
  • Record in GAIT — log all AWS network investigations for audit trail

Environment Variables

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID — AWS access key
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY — AWS secret key
  • AWS_REGION — AWS region (e.g., us-east-1)
  • Or AWS_PROFILE — Named AWS CLI profile

Failure Behavior

  • On a tool error (timeout, unreachable host, malformed response), report the failure and its error message directly to the user rather than fabricating or guessing at results.
  • For a confirmed read-only call, check connectivity and retry once if appropriate. For any call that changes state or sends a message, a timeout does not prove the action failed: inspect current state or delivery status before retrying, preserve the required approval/change gates, and do not repeat an action whose outcome is unknown.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aws Network Ops AI skill do?

AWS cloud networking — VPC, Transit Gateway, Cloud WAN, VPN, Network Firewall, ENI, flow logs. Use when auditing AWS VPCs, troubleshooting connectivity between EC2 instances, checking Transit Gateway routes, or investigating VPN tunnel status.

Why use Aws Network Ops on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aws Network Ops 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 Network Ops in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/automateyournetwork/netclaw/tree/main/workspace/skills/aws-network-ops. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aws Network Ops?

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 Network Ops?

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

Is the Aws Network Ops AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by automateyournetwork under the Apache-2.0 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.
