The bundled references/examples.md ships nine complete production templates (Multi-AZ Redis, cluster mode, multi-region replication, serverless) — genuinely deeper backing material than the SKILL.md alone lets on.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5

- Docs & honesty 5/5
What AWS CloudFormation ElastiCache does
Guides writing AWS CloudFormation for ElastiCache: choosing ReplicationGroup vs CacheCluster, wiring private subnet/security groups, enabling Multi-AZ failover and encryption, and exporting cache endpoints as cross-stack outputs. Triggers on requests to design cache tiers, replication groups, or reusable CFN templates for application caching.
How to install AWS CloudFormation ElastiCache

cd developer-kit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r plugins/developer-kit-aws/skills/aws-cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-elasticache ~/.claude/skills/aws-cloudformation-elasticache
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the AWS CloudFormation ElastiCache skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does AWS CloudFormation ElastiCache work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. The bundled references/examples.md ships nine complete production templates (Multi-AZ Redis, cluster mode, multi-region replication, serverless) — genuinely deeper backing material than the SKILL.md alone lets on.
- What is the AWS CloudFormation ElastiCache SkillProof Score?
- 9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install AWS CloudFormation ElastiCache?
- 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 ElastiCache 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.
