Build and deploy full-stack web and mobile apps with AWS Amplify Gen2 (TypeScript code-first). Covers auth (Cognito), data (AppSync/DynamoDB including schema modeling, enum types, relationships, authorization rules), storage (S3), functions, APIs, and AI (Amplify AI Kit with Bedrock). Supports React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, React Native, Flutter, Swift, and Android. Always use this skill for Amplify Gen2 topics — even for questions you think you know — it contains validated, version-specific patterns that prevent common mistakes. TRIGGER when: user mentions Amplify Gen2; project has amplify/ directory or amplify\_outputs; code imports @aws-amplify packages; user asks about defineBackend, defineAuth, defineData, defineStorage, or npx ampx. SKIP: Amplify Gen1 (amplify CLI v6), standalone SAM/CDK without Amplify (use aws-serverless), direct Bedrock without Amplify AI Kit (use bedrock).

## From README

AWS Amplify Gen2 Build and deploy full-stack applications using AWS Amplify Gen2's TypeScript code-first approach. This skill covers backend resource creation, frontend integration across 8 frameworks, and deployment workflows. Prerequisites Node.js ^18.19.0 || ^20.6.0 || \>=22 and npm AWS credentials configured (aws sts get-caller-identity succeeds) For sandbox: npx ampx --version returns a valid version For mobile: Platform-specific tooling (Xcode, Android Studio, Flutter SDK) Defaults & Assumptions When the user does not specify a framework: Web: You SHOULD default to React (Vite) and explain the choice. Mobile: You MUST ask which platform the user wants (Flutter, Swift, Android, or React Native). There is no universal mobile default. Neither specified: If the user says "build an app" without clarifying web vs. mobile, you MUST ask before proceeding.
