APEX Skills — Agentic Platform Engineering eXperience Curated platform-engineering skills that compress onboarding from months to weeks. Domain knowledge authored by senior AWS SSAs, TAMs, and ProServe, delivered through agentic AI tools (Claude Code, Kiro CLI etc). APEX uses agentic AI (frontier models and agent harness like Claude Code) combined with curated "skills" to give engineers SSA-grade platform engineering output. Agent Skills are organized folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that frontier LLM models can discover and load dynamically to perform specialized tasks. By codifying expert platform engineering knowledge as Agent Skills, we amplify best practices and scale them across teams while reducing toil. They follow the Agent Skills Agent Skills open standard open standard and are compatible with any supported agent harness.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
