ElastiCache

A modular ElastiCache toolkit organized as a registry of sub-skills. Each sub-skill handles one domain of ElastiCache work. The router below matches user intent to the right sub-skill, then loads only the references needed for that sub-skill.

How this skill works

Match the user's request against the semantic categories in the registry below. Match on meaning, not exact wording ("help me figure out which data structures to use" matches data-modeling even without the word "pattern").

Disambiguation: If the user's intent matches multiple sub-skills, apply these rules in order:

If .elasticache/requirements.json exists with infrastructure.endpoint set, prefer monitoring or data-modeling (the user has an existing cache).

If no cache exists (no requirements.json or no endpoint), prefer requirements.

If still ambiguous, ask one clarifying question: "Are you looking to set up something new, or troubleshoot something existing?"

Check the Guardrails section before recommending an engine or deployment model.

Read references/{sub-skill-id}/instructions.md for the matched sub-skill. If the file is not found at a relative path, check your prompt or environment for the skill directory absolute path and retry with {skill-directory}/references/{sub-skill-id}/instructions.md.

If the request spans multiple sub-skills, execute them in pipeline order.

If a sub-skill requires upstream context (engine, deployment model, endpoint) not yet in session memory, route to the upstream sub-skill first.

If no sub-skill matches, activate requirements first.

If a script or CLI call fails, show the error to the user and suggest a specific fix before retrying.
