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
