I had a JSON file with the following format:

[{“Key”:”Company”},{“Value”:”${company}”},…]

I asked it to write a Python script that replaces any word surrounded by ${} with the value in its corresponding environment variable and accept the path of the file as a command line argument —json-file using argparse. It worked perfectly.

Then I started asking it to write a script to successively do the following

Given the same json file, write a snippet of YML that looks like sample CF templates parameter section that I gave it.

It worked perfectly.

Then I told it to accept an optional argument that generated the corresponding meta data section. It worked flawlessly. I gave it sample expected output

Then I told it to output the format needed to pass those parameters to a nested stack and gave it an example;

Parameters: Company: !Ref company

…

It worked again.

Finally, I needed it to generate the Python code to generate the CodeBuild Environment section and I gave it an example.
