  AWS CloudShell ships NO dedicated first-party client library. Registry probes
  for a service-specific SDK client all returned 404: npm @aws-sdk/client-cloudshell,
  NuGet AWSSDK.CloudShell, RubyGems aws-sdk-cloudshell, pkg.go.dev
  aws-sdk-go-v2/service/cloudshell, and Maven Central software.amazon.awssdk:cloudshell
  (numFound 0). The published AWS CLI reference path for cloudshell also 404s.
  The service is primarily driven from the AWS Management Console; a limited set
  of operations (notably VPC-environment create/describe) is reachable through
  the general AWS CLI. The packages below are AWS's general-purpose first-party
  tooling that can reach CloudShell, not CloudShell-specific distributions.
packages:
  - language: python
    registry: pypi
    name: awscli
    url: https://pypi.org/project/awscli/
    install: pip install awscli
    official: true
    scope: general
    note: General AWS CLI; exposes limited `aws cloudshell` VPC-environment operations. No dedicated cloudshell command reference page is currently published.
  - language: python
    registry: pypi
    name: boto3
    url: https://pypi.org/project/boto3/
    install: pip install boto3
    official: true
    scope: general
    note: General AWS SDK for Python. Does not bundle a dedicated cloudshell service client; CloudShell operations require a custom service model.
