Ensure a usable SageMaker execution role exists before deploying or training. Use this skill whenever about to create a SageMaker endpoint, model, training job, or any resource that requires an execution role. Use it especially when the user has not provided a role ARN explicitly, when scripts are about to call `iam:CreateRole`, or when an AccessDenied error mentions an IAM action. Never blindly call `iam:CreateRole` — always check for existing roles first. This skill prevents the most common SageMaker deployment failure: trying to create IAM resources from an SSO principal that has no IAM write permissions.

# SageMaker IAM Preflight

Every SageMaker resource needs an **execution role** — the IAM role SageMaker assumes to read model artifacts from S3, pull serving containers from ECR, and write logs. Most deployments fail here because the script tried to create a new role without checking if a usable one already existed, then blew up because the caller is an SSO principal.

This skill encodes the right order: discover, validate, only create if necessary.

## Running the helpers (cross-platform)

The helpers are Python so they run identically on Windows, macOS, and Linux:

```bash
python3 scripts/check_role.py        # macOS / Linux
python  scripts/check_role.py        # Windows (PowerShell / cmd)
```
