description: Recognize AWS queries and delegate to specialized sub-agent to avoid context pollution
keywords: aws, ec2, s3, iam, ecs, lambda, cloudwatch, rds, cloud, infrastructure, deployment, bucket, instance
when_to_use: When user mentions AWS services, EC2 instances, S3 buckets, ECS deployments, IAM users/keys, or cloud infrastructure. ALWAYS delegate to sub-agent.

Delegating to AWS Agent

Core Principle

Never handle AWS operations directly. Always delegate to a specialized sub-agent to keep your context clean and costs low.

Recognition Patterns

Delegate when user says:

  • •"list ec2 instances"
  • •"show s3 buckets"
  • •"what access keys does user X have?"
  • •"deploy SERVICE to production"
  • •"show running instances"
  • •"what's in bucket X?"
  • •Any mention of: aws, ec2, s3, iam, ecs, lambda, cloudwatch, rds, bucket, instance

How to Delegate

Use the Task tool with a specialized prompt:

code
Task(
  subagent_type: "general-purpose",
  description: "Query AWS infrastructure",
  prompt: "<full agent instructions from AGENT-INSTRUCTIONS.md>"
)

Agent Prompt Template

When delegating, include:

  1. •The complete agent instructions (see AGENT-INSTRUCTIONS.md)
  2. •The user's specific request
  3. •Clear output format requirements

Example:

code
You are an AWS infrastructure specialist. Your job is to query AWS using shell wrappers and return clean results.

<AGENT INSTRUCTIONS HERE>

USER REQUEST: List all running EC2 instances

Return a clean summary with:
- Instance IDs
- Names
- States
- Instance types
- IP addresses

After Agent Returns

  1. •Present results cleanly to user
  2. •Offer follow-up if relevant (e.g., "Would you like details on instance i-abc123?")
  3. •Don't expose mechanics (aws commands, authentication, profiles) to user

Benefits

  • •✅ Main context stays clean
  • •✅ Cheaper queries (sub-agent uses less expensive model)
  • •✅ Specialized knowledge isolated
  • •✅ Scalable pattern for other services

Example Flow

code
User: "list running ec2 instances"

Main Assistant: [Recognizes AWS query]
              → Invokes Task tool with agent instructions
              → Agent runs cloud-ec2-list --state running
              → Agent returns formatted results

Main Assistant: "Found 22 running instances:
                - i-0abc123 (production-web) [running] t3.medium
                - i-0def456 (staging-api) [running] t3.small
                ..."

Red Flags

DON'T:

  • •❌ Try to run cloud-* scripts yourself
  • •❌ Construct aws CLI commands in main session
  • •❌ Load detailed AWS API knowledge
  • •❌ Handle authentication/profiles directly

DO:

  • •✅ Immediately delegate on AWS keywords
  • •✅ Trust the sub-agent's results
  • •✅ Present clean summaries to user
