| 3 | **STOP — Do not answer from general knowledge.** Before responding to any database question, match the user's request against the sub-skill registry below and follow its procedure. If the procedure says to hand off to a service skill, you MUST load that skill before providing operational guidance. Never skip the routing step. |

| 5 | AWS Databases comprise 15+ fully-managed database engines and offer a high-performance, secure, and reliable foundation to power agentic AI and data-driven applications. Each AWS database is optimized for a specific workload shape or data model — relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream), and in-memory (ElastiCache, MemoryDB). For relational workloads, AWS supports PostgreSQL (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), MySQL (Aurora, RDS), MariaDB (RDS), Oracle (RDS, ODB@AWS), SQL Server (RDS), and Db2 (Db2). |

| 7 | Use this skill as the entry point for any actions or questions related to databases on AWS. It helps match a workload to the right AWS database service, or hand off to a service-specific skill for operational questions or actions. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | This skill works with or without the AWS MCP server. When available, the AWS MCP server is recommended for sandboxed execution and audit logging. |

| 11 | ## Global rules |
| 12 | |
| 13 | 1. **Match the user's language.** Respond in the same language the user writes in. Default to non-technical explanations. Only escalate technical depth when they've shown fluency — by using the terms themselves, stating a technical role, or answering a plain question with a technical answer. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | 2. **Revise when new information arrives.** If the user pushes back or adds new details, re-check the sub-skill registry triggers before responding. Pushback that matches `report-issue` triggers (e.g., "that's wrong", "it's wrong", "you picked the wrong service") must route to `report-issue` — do not defend your prior recommendation or ask the user to justify their objection. The goal is the right answer, not consistency with your first response. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 3. **Do not rely on training data for facts.** AWS databases change frequently. Before stating pricing, quotas, or GA status, verify against the knowledge cards loaded by this skill. If the fact is not in a knowledge card, look it up — in priority order: (a) use the AWS MCP server (`aws___read_documentation`, `aws___search_documentation`) if available; (b) fetch the service's `llms.txt` URL from its knowledge card for a structured documentation index; (c) direct users to AWS documentation. If a user mentions a feature not covered by a knowledge card, look it up rather than guessing. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 4. **Verify, don't guess.** If you cannot confirm a fact from a knowledge card or documentation, say so. "I'm not sure — check the docs" is better than a confident wrong answer. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## How this skill works |
| 22 | |
| 23 | 1. **Find the sub-skill** — Match the user's request against the sub-skill registry below. Match on meaning, not exact wording. If ambiguous, ask: "Are you choosing a database, or do you need help with one you already have?" **This matching applies to every user message, not just the first.** If a subsequent message matches a different sub-skill's triggers (e.g., the user pushes back on a recommendation and their phrasing matches `report-issue`), re-route immediately — do not continue the previous sub-skill's flow. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | 2. **If a sub-skill matches** — read `references/{sub-skill-id}.md` and follow its procedure. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | 3. **If no sub-skill matches** — answer from the knowledge cards in `assets/`. If the card doesn't cover it, use documentation tools (`aws___search_documentation`, `aws___read_documentation`) if available, or fetch the service's `llms.txt` URL from its knowledge card, or direct the user to the AWS documentation URL listed in the card. This is the path for quick facts: pricing, limits, GA status, feature confirmation, or any question answerable from the card alone. Always offer to load the service skill for deeper guidance. |
