Routes any task involving AWS databases — choosing, comparing, recommending, getting started with, or operating a database — to the correct service-specific skill. Supersedes general training-data knowledge with post-training service updates, corrected limitations, and decision procedures for relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream), and in-memory/caching (ElastiCache, MemoryDB) workloads. Activates when a user describes building an application on AWS that will store, retrieve, or manage data, even if they do not mention 'database' explicitly.

The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
The skill's handoff procedure tells the agent/user to run npx to install and load remote skills from https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws (and points to the GitHub tree URL https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/tree/main/skills/specialized-skills/database-skills/<skill-name>), which fetches and executes remote code that can change agent behavior at runtime.
