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
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • 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

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-elasticache ~/.claude/skills/aws-cloudformation-elasticache

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger AWS CloudFormation ElastiCache

  • /aws-cloudformation-elasticache CloudFormation patterns for private, encrypted, Multi-AZ ElastiCache Redis/Memcached tiers.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Write CloudFormation for a private, encrypted Multi-AZ Redis cache
  • Help me design a replication group for our ElastiCache tier
  • Export our cache cluster endpoint as a cross-stack CFN output

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.
