I tested the new OpenSearch Agent Toolkit skill. Here's what it actually does.

Short summary

AWS released the amazon-opensearch-service skill for the Agent Toolkit, a structured knowledge package that loads into coding agents like Claude Code and Codex for OpenSearch-related tasks. The author tested it by building a RAG backend on OpenSearch Serverless NextGen, finding it useful for provisioning, sizing, and query DSL recipes. It's part of the aws-data-analytics plugin bundling 8 skills covering the full data lifecycle.
