aliyun/alibabacloud-core

Pre-execution cost estimation for Alibaba Cloud CLI operations. Use this skill whenever a user asks "how much will this cost", before executing any chargeable operation (create / resize / renew / bandwidth change), or when planning a multi-step workflow whose total cost should be known up front. Covers the --estimate-cost flag (quote without executing), --estimate-cost-context (usage assumptions and future-state overrides for multi-step workflows), reading the quote JSON correctly (pricingMode, pricingUnit, delta amounts), and reconciling quotes against actual bills.

Guide for Alibaba Cloud CLI (aliyun) command syntax, plugin system, parameter naming, and best practices. Use this skill to generate correct CLI commands, understand plugin vs built-in command differences, structured parameter syntax, output filtering, pagination, and error troubleshooting. This skill is a CLI knowledge reference — when MCP tools (AlibabaCloud___CallCLI, etc.) are available, always prefer MCP tools for execution rather than running aliyun commands locally in the shell.

Use this skill when users want to search, discover, browse, or find Alibaba Cloud (阿里云) agent skills. Triggers include: "find a skill for X", "search alicloud skills", "阿里云有什么 skill","阿里云", "搜索阿里云技能", "有没有管理 ECS/RDS/OSS 的 skill", "阿里云 skills 有哪些类目", "帮我找一个 skill", "browse alicloud skills", "list alicloud skill categories", "is there an alicloud skill that can...", "what alicloud skills are available", "XX Skill 的内容是什么", "我想了解阿里云 XX Skill 具体做什么","帮我安装阿里云 Skill","使用阿里云相关的skill", "阿里云 agent skill 市场", "搜一下阿里云的 skill", "建一个数据分析项目有没有相关 skill".

Generate Alibaba Cloud MCP Core RunScript-compatible Python scripts from natural-language cloud operation requests. Use when the user explicitly asks for RunScript scripts, MCP Core scripts, or sandbox-compatible cloud automation code. For standard SDK Python code with imports and credentials, use alibabacloud-sdk-usage instead.

Generate or modify code that calls Alibaba Cloud OpenAPIs. Use when the user asks for Alibaba Cloud SDK code, API parameters, endpoints, SDK dependencies, typed product SDK calls, or generic OpenAPI calls.

Suggest Alibaba Cloud aliyun CLI command strings from natural-language cloud operation requests, ready to pass as the command argument of the MCP CallCLI tool. Use when the user asks for the CLI command to do something, wants to manage cloud resources via aliyun, or asks "how do I do X with the aliyun CLI". Use unifiedCli from GenerateCLICommand (fallback to cli when empty) verbatim as the CallCLI command — no manual rewriting. Passes check_cli.py static validation. Suggest only — do not execute unless asked.

Use when the user wants Terraform HCL for Alibaba Cloud (Alicloud) infrastructure — new project or extending an existing one. Covers VPC, ECS, ApsaraDB RDS, OSS, SLB / ALB, Function Compute v3, ACK, and any other alicloud_* resource via the provider documentation and IaCService metadata. IaCService API calls should use the CallCLI-compatible tool exposed by the alibabacloud-core MCP server. For AWS → Alicloud migration, importing existing resources into state, or remote plan/apply execution, use a different skill. Triggers: "write terraform for alicloud", "generate alibaba cloud terraform", "alicloud HCL", "create alibaba cloud vpc/ecs/rds", "生成阿里云 Terraform", "阿里云 HCL", "用 Terraform 部署阿里云", "alicloud provider", "aliyun/alicloud", "terraform-provider-alicloud".

This skill should be used when the user asks to "导入阿里云资源到 Terraform", "terraform import 阿里云", "将现有云资源纳入 Terraform 管理", "阿里云资源迁移 Terraform", "生成 terraform state", "import alicloud resources", "阿里云 IaC 迁移", "阿里云 Terraform 导入", or needs to manage existing Alibaba Cloud resources with Terraform. Guides users step-by-step through environment check, authentication, resource discovery, HCL generation, state import, validation, and dependency graph. Supports both one-time migration and incremental sync.

Shared reference for using Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI MCP Server Core effectively. Covers tool usage patterns, API exploration workflow, CLI command generation, scripted execution, async task polling, Infrastructure as Code (RunIaC), cross-account access, and safety policy configuration. Referenced by other alibabacloud-core skills as the canonical guide for MCP Core interactions.

Query Alibaba Cloud resources across multiple accounts in a Resource Directory. Resolves member account aliases to UIDs via ResourceDirectory ListAccounts, then uses x_assume_account_id to assume into the target account for CLI calls. Use when the user references a member account by display name or alias, or explicitly asks to query resources in another account under the same RD. MUST be loaded for any cross-account or member-account operation before calling AlibabaCloud___CallCLI with x_assume_account_id.
