plugins/sagemaker-ai/skills/sdk-getting-started/SKILL.md
Validates the user's environment for SageMaker AI operations — checks SDK version, AWS region, and execution role. Use when the user says "set up", "getting started", "check my environment", "configure SDK", or as the first step in any plan involving SageMaker/Bedrock training, evaluation, or deployment.

3 of 9 scanners reported clean
Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Preflight checks to verify the user's environment can run SageMaker AI operations. The agent runs these checks directly (no code generation) and stores results in conversation context for downstream skills.

Build workflows with AWS Step Functions state machines using the JSONata query language. Covers Amazon States Language (ASL) structure, state types, variables, data transformation, error handling, AWS service integration, and migrating from the JSONPath to the JSONata query language.
tools
Design, build, deploy, test, and debug serverless applications with AWS Lambda. Triggers on phrases like: Lambda function, event source, serverless application, API Gateway, EventBridge, Step Functions, serverless API, event-driven architecture, Lambda trigger. For deploying non-serverless apps to AWS, use deploy-on-aws plugin instead.
data-ai
Selects a base model for the user's use case by querying SageMaker Hub. Use when the user asks which model to use, wants to select or change their base model, mentions a model name or family (e.g., "Llama", "Mistral", "Nova"), or wants to evaluate a base model — always activate even for known model names because the exact Hub model ID must be resolved. Queries available models, presents benchmarks and licenses, and confirms selection.
testing
Selects a fine-tuning technique (SFT, DPO, RLVR, or RLAIF) for the user's use case and validates it against the selected model's available recipes. Use when the user has decided to finetune and needs to choose a technique, or when the technique needs to be validated against a model. Requires a base model to already be selected (via model-selection skill).
