README (SKILL.md)
AWS China What's New
Query AWS China Region (Beijing / Ningxia) service launch announcements from 2016 to present.
When to use
Activate this skill when the user asks about:
- What AWS services are available in China regions (cn-north-1 Beijing, cn-northwest-1 Ningxia)
- Recent AWS China service launches or announcements
- Whether a specific service (e.g., Lambda, EKS, Bedrock) is available in AWS China
- Comparing AWS China region availability between Beijing and Ningxia
- Timeline of when a service launched in AWS China
Data management
Update data (fetch latest announcements)
# Incremental update (current year only, fast)
python3 scripts/fetch_data.py --incremental
# Full refresh (all years 2016-2026)
python3 scripts/fetch_data.py
# Specific year(s)
python3 scripts/fetch_data.py --year 2025 2026
Run incremental update before answering queries if data might be stale.
Querying
# Search by service name
python3 scripts/query.py --service "Lambda"
python3 scripts/query.py --service "Elastic Kubernetes"
# Filter by region
python3 scripts/query.py --service "S3" --region beijing
python3 scripts/query.py --region ningxia --year 2025
# Filter by date
python3 scripts/query.py --after 2025-01-01 --before 2025-12-31
python3 scripts/query.py --service "EKS" --after 2024-06-01
# Latest announcements
python3 scripts/query.py --latest
python3 scripts/query.py --limit 10
# Combine filters
python3 scripts/query.py --service "SageMaker" --region beijing --year 2025
All commands output JSON to stdout:
{
"count": 2,
"items": [
{
"title": "Amazon Lambda adds support for ...",
"date": "2026-01-09",
"link": "/en/new/2026/amazon-lambda-adds-support-for-.../",
"regions": ["beijing", "ningxia"],
"year": 2026,
"body_preview": "Short text preview..."
}
]
}
How to respond
- Run the query and parse the JSON output
- Summarize the results clearly:
- List matching services with dates and regions
- If no results, say the service may not be available in AWS China yet
- Mention the data source date range (2016-present)
- For availability questions, note that absence from the list does not guarantee unavailability -- it may just mean no announcement was indexed
- Include the announcement link when relevant: prepend
https://www.amazonaws.cnto the relative link path
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and limited to its stated purpose. Before installing, note that: (1) it will make outbound HTTPS requests to https://www.amazonaws.cn when you run updates or when the skill auto-refreshes stale data; (2) it executes the included Python fetch script (via subprocess) to refresh the local data file in data/whats_new.json; and (3) it requires no credentials. If you need to restrict network activity or audit fetched content, run the fetch script manually and review data/whats_new.json. Also confirm you trust the skill source since it will execute Python code bundled with the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: aws-china-whats-new
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a legitimate tool for scraping and querying AWS China service announcements from the official amazonaws.cn domain. The scripts (fetch_data.py and query.py) use standard libraries for HTTP requests and data processing, with no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included artifacts: a large local dataset (data/whats_new.json), a fetcher (scripts/fetch_data.py) that scrapes https://www.amazonaws.cn, and a query tool (scripts/query.py). No unrelated binaries, env vars, or services are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the included fetch and query scripts and how to format responses. The instructions limit activity to fetching AWS China pages and querying the local JSON; they do not ask for unrelated files, credentials, or system data.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no external install spec. The included scripts are plain Python and rely only on the standard library; no external downloads or archive extraction occur during install.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The scripts perform outbound HTTPS requests to amazonaws.cn, which is appropriate for fetching announcements.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does write a data file under its own data/ directory (data/whats_new.json) and may update it via the fetch script; it does not request always: true, does not modify other skills, and requires no elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install aws-china-whats-new - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/aws-china-whats-new - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
