Ran the CFN mini-task live: the skill's S3+OAC template used the real AWS-managed CachingOptimized policy ID (658327ea-f89d-4fab-a63d-7e88639e58f6) instead of a guessed value, plus still-accurate account limits (200 distributions, 25 origins, ACM must be us-east-1) a memory-only answer tends to skip.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What AWS CloudFormation CloudFront does
Provides CloudFormation YAML patterns for CloudFront distributions — S3/ALB/Lambda@Edge/VPC origins with OAC, CacheBehaviors, CloudFront Functions, WAF, security headers, and cross-stack Outputs. Triggers when creating or extending a CloudFront CDN stack, adding path-based caching rules, or wiring up ACM certificates and WAF. Six linked reference files cover template structure, origins, caching, security, advanced features, and hard account limits in more depth than the main file.
How to install AWS CloudFormation CloudFront
git clone https://github.com/giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit
cd developer-kit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r plugins/developer-kit-aws/skills/aws-cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-cloudfront ~/.claude/skills/aws-cloudformation-cloudfront
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

- How do I install AWS CloudFormation CloudFront?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use AWS CloudFormation CloudFront with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
