AWS CLI Commands Using GitHub Copilot - Write Once Instructions Run Multiple Times

A set of GitHub Copilot custom instructions that turn natural language into AWS actions

Hey there,

Quick question: How many times have you Googled "AWS CLI check S3 bucket" this month?

Yeah, me too.

Here's the thing — we're developers, not command-line encyclopedias. Yet we spend hours remembering syntax like:

aws ce get-cost-and-usage --time-period Start=2025-01-01,End=2025-01-16 --granularity MONTHLY...

What if instead, you just typed:

"How much did I spend this month?"

And got this:

╔════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  💰 CURRENT MONTH: $1,234.56           ║
║  📊 Top: EC2 ($542) | RDS ($312)       ║
║  ⚠️  Alert: $456 over budget projected ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════╝

That's exactly what I built.

It's called AWS-Cli-GitHub-Copilot-Fusion — a set of GitHub Copilot custom instructions that turn natural language into AWS actions.

What You Can Do:

"Install AWS CLI" → Detects your OS, installs, verifies

"Set up my profiles" → Creates dev/qa/staging/prod (resumes if interrupted)

"Upload this to S3" → Shows progress, confirms completion

"Create a dashboard from this Excel" → QuickSight link in seconds

"Email this S3 file to [email protected]" → Opens mail app, attaches file, writes description

The Best Part?

No raw JSON. Ever. Every response is formatted beautifully.

Write your instructions once. Run them forever.

Happy building, Kishore
