aws-support-case

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

This skill should be used when users need to manage AWS Support cases via CLI. It handles listing cases (recent 2 weeks, unresolved), viewing case details with bilingual display (English-Chinese line by line), creating new cases with auto-detected service/category, replying to cases, and attachment handling. Triggers on requests mentioning "AWS support", "support case", "工单", "support ticket", or AWS technical support inquiries.

AWS Support Case Manager

Overview

Manage AWS Support cases through CLI with intelligent features: auto-detect service/category when creating cases, translate Chinese to English for submissions, and display case communications in bilingual format (English original followed by Chinese translation).

Prerequisites

AWS CLI configured with default profile
AWS Support API access (requires Business or Enterprise Support plan for some features)
All commands must use
```
--region us-east-1
```
(Support API only available in this region)

Core Workflows

1. List Cases

List recent 2 weeks cases:

bash

aws support describe-cases \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --after-time "$(date -u -v-14d '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ' 2>/dev/null || date -u -d '14 days ago' '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')" \
  --include-resolved-cases \
  --output json

List unresolved cases only:

bash

aws support describe-cases \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --no-include-resolved-cases \
  --output json

Display format: Present cases in a clear table with columns: Case ID | Subject | Status | Created | Severity

2. View Case Details (Bilingual Display)

To view a case with communications:

bash

aws support describe-communications \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --case-id "case-XXXXXXXX" \
  --output json

Bilingual Display Format: When displaying case communications, format each message as follows:

---
[Sender] | [Timestamp]
---

> Original English text line 1
> 中文翻译第一行

> Original English text line 2
> 中文翻译第二行

---

Translation guidelines:

Translate each sentence/paragraph, placing English original first with
```
>
```
prefix
Chinese translation immediately follows on the next line with
```
>
```
prefix
Preserve technical terms (service names, error codes, ARNs) without translation
Maintain formatting (bullet points, numbered lists) in both languages

3. Create New Case

Step 1: Query available services and categories

bash

aws support describe-services --region us-east-1 --output json

Step 2: Auto-detect service and category

Analyze the user's description (Chinese or English) to identify:

Service code: Match keywords to AWS services (e.g., "EC2实例" →
```
amazon-ec2
```
, "S3存储桶" →
```
amazon-s3
```
)
Category code: Match issue type (e.g., "性能慢" →
```
performance
```
, "无法连接" →
```
connectivity
```
, "配额提升" →
```
limits
```
)

Step 3: Translate and create

If user provides Chinese description:

Translate to professional, native English
Use technical AWS terminology appropriately
Keep specific identifiers (account IDs, resource ARNs, error codes) unchanged

bash

aws support create-case \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --subject "Translated English subject" \
  --communication-body "Translated English description with full details" \
  --service-code "detected-service" \
  --category-code "detected-category" \
  --severity-code "low|normal|high|urgent|critical" \
  --language "en"

Severity selection guide:

Severity	When to use
low	General questions, non-urgent inquiries
normal	Production system has minor issues
high	Production system significantly impaired
urgent	Production system severely impaired
critical	Production system down (Enterprise only)

4. Reply to Case

Step 1: Translate if needed

If user provides Chinese reply, translate to professional English while preserving:

Technical details and identifiers
Specific error messages or logs
Resource names and ARNs

Step 2: Send reply

bash

aws support add-communication-to-case \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --case-id "case-XXXXXXXX" \
  --communication-body "Translated English reply"

5. Handle Attachments

Upload attachment:

bash

# First, base64 encode the file
BASE64_DATA=$(base64 -i /path/to/file)

# Add to attachment set
aws support add-attachments-to-set \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --attachments fileName="filename.ext",data="$BASE64_DATA"

This returns an

attachmentSetId

to use when replying:

bash

aws support add-communication-to-case \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --case-id "case-XXXXXXXX" \
  --communication-body "Please see the attached file" \
  --attachment-set-id "ATTACHMENT_SET_ID"

Download attachment:

bash

aws support describe-attachment \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --attachment-id "attachment-id"

6. Close/Resolve Case

bash

aws support resolve-case \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --case-id "case-XXXXXXXX"
