🚀 Adding Agentic Knowledge Power

Overview

This PR introduces the Agentic Knowledge Power - a comprehensive architectural guidance system for building agentic AI systems on AWS. This power provides dynamic, contextual recommendations based on current AWS prescriptive guidance and modern frameworks.

🎯 What This Power Does

The Agentic Knowledge Power provides dynamic architectural guidance for building agentic AI systems using current AWS prescriptive guidance and patterns. Rather than static documentation, it leverages MCP servers to access live AWS guidance and combines it with intelligent steering for contextual, up-to-date recommendations.

Key Capabilities

• 🔍 AWS Prescriptive Guidance Foundation: Always starts with official AWS foundational documents
• 🏗️ Architecture Design Assistance: Contextual recommendations for AWS service selection and patterns
• 📋 Implementation Guidance: Practical guidance on Strands Agent SDK and AgentCore deployment
• 🔄 Live Documentation Access: Real-time retrieval of current guidance through MCP servers

🛠 Technical Implementation

MCP Servers Integration

• strands-agents: Agent workflow and coordination patterns
• agentcore-mcp-server: Core agentic system components
• awsknowledge: AWS-specific architectural guidance

Modern Framework Support

• Strands Agent SDK: Multi-provider support, agent patterns, multi-agent coordination
• AgentCore Platform: Runtime, Memory, Gateway, and Observability services

📁 Files Added

Core Power Files

• agentic-knowledge/POWER.md (330 lines) - Complete power documentation
• agentic-knowledge/mcp.json (38 lines) - MCP server configuration

Steering Files for Guided Workflows

• agentic-knowledge/steering/agentic-architecture-guidance.md (130 lines) - Core architectural principles
• agentic-knowledge/steering/aws-service-patterns.md (94 lines) - AWS service integration patterns
• agentic-knowledge/steering/prescriptive-guidance-priority.md (98 lines) - Prioritized guidance framework

Total: 690 lines across 5 new files
