AWS Resilience Lifecycle

Overview

Domain expertise for the integrated resilience lifecycle across three AWS services:
Define (Resilience Hub v2 — also called NGRH, New Generation Resilience Hub) → Test (FIS) → Operate (ARC).

Terminology: in this skill an unqualified "Resilience Hub" always means v2 (NGRH / New Generation Resilience Hub, CLI namespace aws resiliencehubv2). v1 (aws resiliencehub) is referenced only explicitly, and only for migration.

The AWS MCP server is recommended for executing this skill's AWS API calls, but it is not required — all operations also work with the AWS CLI directly.

Guardrail — where this skill's own files live (MCP vs local install)

Before reading a reference file, determine how this skill was loaded:

Loaded via the AWS MCP retrieve_skill tool: the skill's reference files are not on the local filesystem. Fetch each one through retrieve_skill with the file parameter (e.g. file="references/lifecycle-workflow.md" or file="references/api-reference.md") — do NOT file_read these paths locally or search the filesystem for them.

Installed locally (e.g. .kiro/skills/aws-resilience-lifecycle/ or ~/.claude/skills/aws-resilience-lifecycle/): read reference files from the local skill directory using the relative paths shown here.

This applies only to the skill's own reference files; always read and write user or session data in the working directory, never through retrieve_skill.
