How the author describes it
SST v4 (Ion) expert for managing AWS resources as code with the Pulumi-backed framework. Use when writing or editing sst.config.ts, building infra/ modules (sst.aws.Function/Bucket/Dynamo/Cron/Service/Router, sst.Secret, sst.Linkable, raw aws.* Pulumi resources), wiring resource links, scoping IAM, or running sst deploy/dev/diff/remove. Essential when the user mentions SST, sst.config.ts, $config, $transform, $interpolate, sst.aws.*, sst.Secret, Pulumi/Ion, "sst deploy", a failed SST deploy (ConflictException on a resource-type change, "Identifier '__filename' has already been declared", MalformedPolicyDocument on an Output<T>), or wants to scaffold/troubleshoot AWS infrastructure with SST. Also use when a request to "deploy my AWS stack" or "add a Lambda/bucket/table" is made in a repo that already contains an sst.config.ts (using $config) or an sst dependency. Do NOT use when the task is primarily AWS CDK, Terraform, raw CloudFormation, or SAM with no SST present — those have their own tooling.
