AWS SSO Login

A skill to authenticate to AWS using Single Sign-On (SSO) for a specified profile.

Purpose

Perform SSO authentication before executing AWS CLI operations. SSO sessions typically expire after 8-12 hours, requiring re-authentication.

Input Parameters

profile: AWS CLI profile name configured for SSO (default: defined by project, e.g., web-hosting)
- If the profile name is not known/available from project docs or prior context, ask the user which AWS CLI profile to use before running this skill.

Execution Steps

Execute aws sso login command with the specified profile
Open browser automatically (or provide a URL to open manually)
Complete authentication in the browser
Confirm successful authentication

Command Example

# Login with SSO using specified profile
aws sso login --profile <profile-name>

Project Configuration

Document the default profile name (e.g., web-hosting) in a separate project guide such as .github/skills/README.md or a skill configuration file.
Refer to that document when invoking this Skill so the same definition can be reused across repositories without editing the Skill itself.

Output

After successful authentication:

SSO session is established and cached locally
AWS CLI commands can be executed using the specified profile
Session remains valid for the configured duration (typically 8-12 hours)

Usage Examples

After executing this skill, AWS CLI commands with the profile become available:

# Verify authentication
aws sts get-caller-identity --profile <profile-name>

# Assume a role (often used after SSO login)
aws sts assume-role --role-arn <role-arn> --role-session-name <session-name> --profile <profile-name>

Prerequisites

AWS CLI v2 installed (SSO support requires v2 or later)
SSO configuration set up in ~/.aws/config for the specified profile
Web browser available for authentication
Network access to the SSO authentication endpoint

Notes

SSO sessions expire after a configured duration (typically 8-12 hours)
When the session expires, re-execute this skill to re-authenticate
Browser-based authentication is required; this cannot be fully automated
For headless environments, consider using --no-browser flag and manually opening the provided URL
This skill should be executed before the assume-cloudformation-role skill if role assumption requires SSO authentication
