Skill audit report

aws-vpc-dns-investigation Audit report.

Use this skill when a name is not resolving as expected inside a VPC, or before applying a DNS control-plane change. Activate on symptoms such as NXDOMAIN or SERVFAIL from an EC2 instance, a hostname resolving to a public address when a private endpoint was expected, an AWS service endpoint that stopped resolving after a VPC endpoint or Route 53 change, an application reaching the wrong IP, resolution that works from one instance but not another, IPv6 or dualstack resolution differences, a suspected on-premises forwarding or hybrid DNS problem, or a request to check whether enabling private DNS, adding a Resolver rule, associating a private hosted zone, attaching DNS Firewall, or associating a Route 53 Profile would break anything. It drives the aws-vpc-dns-diagnostics MCP server to observe live resolution from inside the subnet and to simulate a proposed change before it is applied.

CHECK

The skill depends on an external MCP server (aws-vpc-dns-diagnostics) but SKILL.md does not include setup or connection instructions for that server, which may hinder adoption.

Warnings

  • The skill depends on an external MCP server (aws-vpc-dns-diagnostics) but SKILL.md does not include setup or connection instructions for that server, which may hinder adoption.
  • The skill references SOPs (e.g., A-critical-safety-rules) that are fetched via get_sop; these are not included in the repository, so the skill's full behavior depends on the MCP server's availability and content.
  • Low GitHub adoption signal
  • Quality score needs review
  • GitHub adoption: 42 GitHub stars
  • Stars/forks activity: 42 stars, 38 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
