20 AWS CDK alternatives

AWS CDK: Official AWS skill for authoring, deploying and debugging CDK stacks — construct patterns, bootstrap, drift, resource import and the CloudFormation errors that trap people. 20 agent skills do similar work, most sharing Python, DevOps and TypeScript, ranked by how much they have in common with AWS CDK.

Back to AWS CDK

  1. by AWS Labs

    Build multi-step Lambda workflows that survive interruption and run for up to a year — the replay model, step operations, wait/callback patterns, saga-style compensation and local testing.

    Also: AWS, IaC, TypeScript

  2. by HashiCorp

    HashiCorp's official Packer skill for building Amazon Machine Images with the amazon-ebs builder, covering template structure, plugin pinning and the cost and timing caveats.

    Also: AWS, DevOps

  3. by HashiCorp

    HashiCorp's official skill for writing Terraform that matches the published style guide — file layout, naming, variable validation and secure-by-default resources.

    Also: DevOps, IaC

  4. by OpenAI

    OpenAI's skill for language- and framework-specific secure coding: detect the stack, load the matching reference guidance, then write secure-by-default code, flag critical issues passively, or produce a prioritised vulnerability report with fixes.

    Also: Python, TypeScript

  5. by Agnost AI

    Walks a coding agent through wiring Agnost AI conversation analytics into a Python or TypeScript app — inspecting existing OpenTelemetry first and only adding an SDK when the traces are not usable.

    Also: Python, TypeScript

  6. by Anthropic

    Anthropic's guide for building high-quality MCP servers end to end — research, tool design, implementation in TypeScript or Python, testing, and a 10-question evaluation suite.

    Also: Python, TypeScript

  7. by AWS Labs

    Read-only diagnostics for cluster-wide SageMaker HyperPod failures on EKS or Slurm — CloudFormation errors, EFA health checks, lifecycle scripts, capacity, dangling nodes and autoscaler conflicts.

    Also: AWS

  8. by Pulumi

    Pulumi's official migration skill for moving Terraform or OpenTofu projects to Pulumi — translating HCL and importing tfstate without recreating live infrastructure.

    Also: IaC

  9. by Railway

    Railway's official agent skill: create projects, provision databases and buckets, deploy, manage variables and domains, and read build failures back — from the CLI, API or MCP server.

    Also: DevOps

  10. by Google Cloud

    Google's official skill for driving the gcloud CLI safely from an agent: validate every command against its own help text, cap the output, and refuse the operations that should never run unattended.

    Also: DevOps

  11. by mikehasa

    Open-source agent skill that takes an AI-built app live on your own accounts: hosting, database, domain, email and payments, with a plan-and-approve workflow.

    Also: DevOps

  12. by Microsoft

    Microsoft's official AKS planning skill: separates the Day-0 decisions you cannot undo (networking, API server) from the Day-1 features you can switch on later.

    Also: DevOps

  13. by PlanetScale

    PlanetScale's approval contract for agents: five operation classes that decide what a database agent may do freely, what needs a named approval, and what it must never do alone.

    Also: DevOps

  14. by Hugging Face

    Deploy and maintain applications on Hugging Face Spaces — SDK choice, GPU hardware, model loading, and debugging.

    Also: Python

  15. by Oldcircle

    Find where a photo was taken: EXIF, OCR, OpenStreetMap, skyline and satellite matching, with coordinates, error radius and evidence images.

    Also: Python

  16. by NVIDIA

    Diagnoses wrong gradients in differentiable NVIDIA Warp programs by measuring first — comparing autodiff against finite differences on a shrunk reproduction before proposing any fix.

    Also: Python

  17. by Hugging Face

    Build Gradio web UIs and ML demos in Python with the current API — components, layouts, events, and chat interfaces.

    Also: Python

  18. by Hugging Face

    Read-only recipes for the Hugging Face Dataset Viewer API — resolve splits, paginate rows, run text search and row filters, and pull parquet URLs and column statistics.

    Also: Python

  19. by Hugging Face

    Train bi-encoders, rerankers, SPLADE sparse encoders and ColBERT multi-vector models with the loss, evaluator and template each type actually needs.

    Also: Python

  20. by Hugging Face

    Fine-tune object detection, image classification and SAM/SAM2 segmentation models on Hugging Face Jobs cloud GPUs, with dataset validation before you spend GPU minutes.

    Also: Python
