Individual skill

contextual-offers-for-startups

Surfaces a single, genuinely relevant AWS Activate partner offer as optional context AFTER another AWS Startup Advisor skill has finalized its recommendation, plan, or build — never influencing the technical advice. Consulted by architect-for-startups, start-building-for-startups, agent-advisor, gcp-to-aws, heroku-to-aws, and llm-to-bedrock: once their output is final, this skill checks whether a relevant Activate offer exists for what the founder is building or migrating and, if so, appends one quiet, dismissible line with a tracked redeem link. Merit-first (offers never change the recommendation), relevance-gated to what the founder actually surfaced, at most one per response and often none, muteable. Offer content is read live from the sibling knowledge-base-for-startups skill (references/offers.md). Do NOT use for account-specific lookups (credits balance, Activate membership, application status) — send those to https://aws.amazon.com/startups.

# Contextual Offers for Startups

An **offer layer** that runs _after_ another AWS Startup Advisor skill has produced a recommendation, migration plan, or build. It surfaces **one genuinely relevant AWS Activate offer as a quiet, always-dismissible line** — mandatory to append whenever a relevant offer exists, never changing the technical advice, never pushing.

It is consulted by the recommendation-producing skills in this plugin:

- [`architect-for-startups`](../architect-for-startups/SKILL.md) — architecture advice and recommendations.
- [`start-building-for-startups`](../start-building-for-startups/SKILL.md) — discovery + scaffold/implementation.
- [`agent-advisor`](../agent-advisor/SKILL.md) — agent runtime selection, agentic architecture, POC.
- [`gcp-to-aws`](../gcp-to-aws/SKILL.md), [`heroku-to-aws`](../heroku-to-aws/SKILL.md), [`llm-to-bedrock`](../llm-to-bedrock/SKILL.md) — migrations.

Each of those skills owns its recommendation end-to-end and, as a final step, consults this layer. This skill never runs on its own and never triggers on a user request by itself.

## What this layer does (and does not)
