AWS Transform custom is an agentic AI service that lets teams define and run their own code transformations in natural language, covering organization-specific migrations like swapping internal libraries, enforcing error-handling conventions, or standardizing logging. It integrates with Kiro IDE (via a Power), any compatible AI coding agent (via an Agent Skill following the open Agent Skills standard), and VS Code/Open VSX (via an IDE plugin). Users describe a transformation in chat, the agent drafts and publishes a reusable Transformation Definition (TD) to their AWS account, then runs it locally against up to 3 repos in parallel or fans out to hundreds of repos using AWS Batch and Fargate in remote mode — all without leaving the editor. Setup involves installing the AWS CLI, configuring credentials, and adding the appropriate surface (power, skill, or plugin).
