setup-security-agent
This skill configures AWS Security Agent for the current workspace before any scan or penetration test.
What the skill teaches
This skill configures AWS Security Agent for the current workspace before any scan or penetration test. It creates, or reuses, the agent space, the IAM role for the service and an S3 bucket, and follows a local state convention so later skills can derive the values they need without asking again. It describes the workflow, rules the agent follows and troubleshooting for common setup problems, and can also answer whether the workspace is already configured. It belongs to the aws-agents-for-devsecops plugin from AWS's agent toolkit, next to the diff scan, pentest, threat model and remediation skills.
Capabilities
- Create or reuse a Security Agent agent space
- Provision the IAM service role and S3 bucket
- Check whether Security Agent is configured for a workspace
