/q autonomously edits across files
Best with AWS context
Q knows AWS resources better than general models

Tips

  • Amazon Q Developer CLI is AWS-official; when discussing AWS resources (Lambda/IAM/CloudFormation/EC2) it fits cloud context better than general coding agents — great for cloud-native teams.
  • One-line `q "..."` uses print mode and pipes straight into scripts/CI; for complex multi-step work, enter `q chat` then `/q` to switch to agent mode.
  • Prereq: `q login` with AWS Builder ID or IAM Identity Center; manage profile/region via `q config`.
  • /doc and /test are hidden efficiency wins — run them against code to fill in docs and unit tests without writing by hand.
