Amazon Location Service Agent Context
Comprehensive context for LLMs to build location-aware applications with Amazon Location Service. Provides ready-to-use integrations as a Kiro power, Claude Code plugin, Agent Skill, and direct context files.
Overview
This package guides AI coding assistants through adding maps, places search, geocoding, routing, and other geospatial features with Amazon Location Service, including authentication setup, SDK integration, and best practices. It follows progressive disclosure principles—loading minimal context by default and expanding based on your specific task.
