What the skill teaches
This aws-core skill adds user sign-in to web or mobile applications with Amazon Cognito, using Amplify's client-side auth libraries. It starts by helping choose between a user pool and an identity pool, then covers sign-up and sign-in flows and the managed login page, MFA and password rules, OAuth 2.0 and OIDC flows with PKCE or client credentials, social and SAML federation, token handling, Cognito Lambda triggers, temporary AWS credentials from identity pools, and protecting API Gateway or ALB routes with Cognito or JWT authorizers. It also helps debug redirect URI, token, MFA, CORS and federation errors.
