About this skill
Aurora DSQL Skill Moved
This standalone skill is deprecated. The canonical DSQL skill is now:
plugins/databases-on-aws/skills/dsql/SKILL.md in
awslabs/agent-plugins.
Redirect
- Check whether the canonical
dsqlskill is already available. - If it is available, read and follow its
SKILL.md, then read only the references that canonical skill routes to. - Do not combine canonical guidance with content from this deprecated standalone skill.
- If the canonical skill is unavailable, explain that the DSQL skill moved
to
awslabs/agent-plugins. - Get explicit user approval before installing anything or changing user configuration.
Repository-reading tools may read the canonical skill to provide advisory guidance. Reading its repository does not install the plugin, hooks, scripts, or MCP servers.
For Claude Code, the verified installation commands are:
/plugin marketplace add awslabs/agent-plugins
/plugin install databases-on-aws@agent-plugins-for-aws
For Codex and Cursor, use the current canonical installation instructions.
When not to use it
- →Non-DSQL database tasks
- →Arbitrary DDL/DML execution
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires Aurora DSQL cluster
How it compares
