Huawei Cloud Skill Creator v2

Six-Phase Strict Pipeline — Each phase depends on the previous phase's output and cannot be skipped. If any phase is missing, restart from the missing phase.

Overview

The Huawei Cloud Skill Creator v2 is based on a six-phase strict pipeline: starting with Socratic Q&A requirements analysis, followed by technical research (CLI→SDK→API three-level fallback), document generation, test preparation, detailed testing, resource cleanup and compliance check, ultimately generating a complete skill package that conforms to the Huawei Cloud Skill Specification. It only creates/packages skills — it does not directly operate cloud resources (no creating/deleting/modifying ECS, VPC, OBS, etc.); use it to generate a management Skill or use another dedicated management Skill for cloud-resource operations.

Pre-check: Huawei Cloud Credentials Required

Mandatory gate. This pre-check MUST pass before invoking any hcloud / huaweicloudsdk command — including Phase 2 research, Phase 4/5 testing, and Phase 6 validation. If no valid credential profile is detected, STOP and obtain credentials out-of-band.

Security Rules

• NEVER read, echo, or print AK/SK values (e.g., printing the value of an HUAWEI_ACCESS_KEY-style env var is FORBIDDEN).
• NEVER read or cat the on-disk credential files for hcloud, obsutil, the SDK, or any other secret-storing location. Treat all such files as confidential; the names of those files (used by their owners) are documented in references/cli-installation-guide.md.
• NEVER ask the user to input AK/SK directly in the conversation or command line.
• NEVER invoke hcloud configure set with literal credential strings passed via the CLI's cli-<ak-flag> / cli-<sk-flag> parameters or any equivalent in-band secret-entry form.
• ONLY use hcloud configure list to check credential status — non-interactive, read-only, no secrets echoed.

Verification Steps

hcloud configure list

Check the output for a valid profile (AK/SK, or temporary security credentials / agency-assumed role).

If no valid profile exists, STOP here.

1. Obtain credentials from Huawei Cloud Console → 身份与访问管理 (IAM) → 我的凭证 → 新增访问密钥.

2. Output the following copy-paste ready env-var setup block to the user (fill in real values outside of this session, never in chat). The Agent must NEVER ask the user to type the AK/SK value in the conversation — only emit the template below:

   # Set Huawei Cloud credentials. The secret key is entered silently when prompted.
   export HUAWEI_ACCESS_KEY="<your-access-key-id>"
   read -rs HUAWEI_SECRET_KEY; export HUAWEI_SECRET_KEY
   export HUAWEI_REGION="cn-north-4"

   Optional alternative — only as an interactive out-of-band step (Agent must NOT invoke this with literal values):

   hcloud configure    # interactive; prompts for AK/SK in the user's terminal

3. After the user confirms they have configured env vars (or run hcloud configure), re-run hcloud configure list. If the profile is valid → resume Phase 1. If still missing → terminate, do not proceed.

Reuse the active CLI profile for all subsequent hcloud and huaweicloudsdk calls. Do not print or hardcode secrets. Do not replace this gate with obsutil config, hcloud configure set with literal arguments, SDK credentials constructors filled with literal strings (for example, the SDK's BasicCredentials built from string literals rather than env vars), or any other in-session secret-entry flow.

Credential Source Priority

When invoking commands later (Phase 2/4/5), the skill accepts credentials in this priority order:

If none of the above are available when Phase 4/5 testing starts, prompt the user once to configure them out-of-band and re-run the pre-check. If still unavailable, terminate the process — strictly prohibited from skipping credential-required steps.

Prerequisites

1. hcloud CLI installed and authenticated — Reference: https://support.huaweicloud.com/qs-hcli/hcli_02_003.html
   • Authentication verified via the Pre-check above (hcloud configure list).
2. Python 3.8+ with huaweicloudsdk packages — install on demand: pip install huaweicloudsdkcore huaweicloudsdkecs. Verify with python3 -c "import huaweicloudsdkcore" before Phase 2/4/5. SDK Reference: https://console.huaweicloud.com/apiexplorer/#/sdkcenter
3. Node.js + npx available
4. Huawei Cloud AK/SK — Auto-scan all environment variables prefixed HUAWEI / HW / HWC matching ACCESS_KEY / _AK / SECRET_KEY / _SK. Hardcoding AK/SK in scripts, docs, or command lines is forbidden.
5. API Reference: https://console.huaweicloud.com/apiexplorer/#/openapi

Workflow — Six-Phase Strict Pipeline

Phase 1 (Q&A) → Phase 2 (Tech Research) → Phase 3 (Generate MD)
    → Phase 4 (Test Prep) → Phase 5 (Detailed Testing) → Phase 6 (Cleanup & Report)

Strict Rules:

• Each phase must output a phase summary (phase-N-summary)
• Before starting each phase, must verify that the previous phase's summary file exists
• After all 6 phases are completed, perform a final check for any missing phases. If any are missing, restart from the missing phase
• Skipping any phase is strictly prohibited
• The Pre-check: Huawei Cloud Credentials Required gate must have passed before any Phase 2 research or Phase 4/5 execution begins

Phase 1: Requirements Analysis (Socratic Q&A)

Goal: Clarify user requirements through question-by-question dialogue.

• Ask one question at a time, wait for the user's response
• Cover the following dimensions:
  1. Target Service — Which Huawei Cloud service? (ECS, VPC, OBS, RDS, BSS, etc.)
  2. Feature Scope — What should the Skill do? (Query, Diagnose, Deploy, Monitor, Manage)
  3. Execution Mode — Prefer CLI / SDK / API?
  4. CLI Operations — Which operations are involved? (List, Show, Create, Delete, Update)
  5. Trigger Scenarios — When would an Agent invoke this? (Daily inspection, troubleshooting, auto-scaling)
• After every 5 questions or covering all dimensions → Display requirements summary table → Wait for user confirmation
• 🛑 Do NOT proceed to Phase 2 until the user has explicitly confirmed

Output: phase-1-summary.json — User-confirmed requirements description

Phase 2: Technical Research (CLI→SDK→API Three-Level Fallback)

Dependency: Phase 1 requirements analysis completed (phase-1-summary.json exists)

For each feature point confirmed in Phase 1, research availability in the following order:

Core Rule: API Endpoint Forensics (No Guessing)

API endpoints are only allowed from the following two sources. Strictly prohibited from inferring through naming patterns:

❌ Strictly prohibited actions:

• Inferring new endpoints based on other API path patterns (e.g., inferring claim-vouchers endpoint from coupons endpoint)
• Constructing URIs yourself based on documentation descriptions
• Using "common naming patterns" to guess API paths
• If the SDK is available but the corresponding function has no method in _http_info → Mark ⛔, do not infer

Execution Rules:

Research feature point N
  ├── CLI available → Record as CLI mode, record specific command
  ├── CLI unavailable → Check SDK
  │    ├── SDK available → Record as SDK mode
  │    │    ├── Read all _http_info methods from SDK source to obtain real REST paths
  │    │    │    grep "resource_path" <sdk_path>/{service}_client.py
  │    │    └── Feature point's corresponding method has _http_info in SDK → Record real API endpoint
  │    │         Feature point's corresponding method has no _http_info in SDK → Mark ⛔, do not infer
  │    ├── SDK unavailable → Ask user to confirm endpoint from API Explorer
  │    │    ├── User finds endpoint from API Explorer → Record as API mode, note the source
  │    │    ├── User provides endpoint (other source) → Record as API mode, mark ⚠ user-provided
  │    │    └── User cannot provide → Mark ⛔
  │    └── SDK partially available (some methods missing and no corresponding _http_info) → Mark missing features as ⛔
  └── Generate feature point research result (including execution mode + real API path if available)

🛑 Agent is strictly forbidden from guessing/fabricating API paths on its own. If neither the SDK source nor API Explorer has the endpoint, mark it ⛔ — it doesn't exist.

Tips for finding SDK client source paths:

# Method 1: Find package installation path
python3 -c "import huaweicloudsdk{service}.v2 as m; import os; print(os.path.dirname(m.__file__))"

# Method 2: Find all _http_info methods (show all API endpoints)
grep "_http_info" <path>/{service}_client.py

# Method 3: View API path for a specific method
grep -A8 "_{method}_http_info" <path>/{service}_client.py
# The "resource_path" key in output is the real REST endpoint

Output: phase-2-summary.json — Execution mode (CLI/SDK/API/⛔) and corresponding command/code/API path for each feature point

Phase 3: Document Generation

Dependency: Phase 2 technical research completed (phase-2-summary.json exists)

Generate Skill files based on Phase 2 conclusions:

1. Name the Skill — Use huawei-cloud-{product}-{function} and make the frontmatter name match the directory name.

2. Language — Generate SKILL.md in English by default. Chinese documentation may be added in references/ as supplementary. The main SKILL.md must use English for frontmatter description, section titles, command examples, and all explanatory content.

3. Frontmatter — Include name, description with a feature summary and trigger conditions, and no more than five tags. Do not generate a version field.

4. Create directory structure:

   skills/{skill-name}/
   ├── SKILL.md
   ├── references/
   │   ├── iam-policies.md              (Required)
   │   ├── cli-installation-guide.md    (Required when CLI is used)
   │   ├── verification-method.md       (Recommended)
   │   ├── dataflow-diagram.md          (Recommended)
   │   └── acceptance-criteria.md       (Recommended)
   ├── scripts/
   │   └── test-cli-commands.sh
   └── templates/
       └── test-vars.json

5. SKILL.md content generation rules:

   Execution Mode	Command Format in SKILL.md
   CLI	hcloud <Service> <Operation> --cli-region={region} [--params]
   SDK	Python script example (python3 -c "...")
   API	curl command + user-provided endpoint (mark as user-provided)
   Unavailable	Mark requires manual verification, do not generate specific commands

6. Required sections in SKILL.md:

   Section	Severity	Description
   YAML Frontmatter	Critical	name + description with feature summary and trigger conditions + tags; no version
   Overview	High	Feature overview, architecture, applicable scenarios
   Prerequisites	High	CLI version, authentication configuration, IAM permissions
   Workflow	High	Skill workflow steps
   Core Commands	High	Command examples grouped by function
   Parameter Confirmation	High	User-configurable parameter table
   Reference Documents	Critical	Links to documents under references/
   KooCLI Command Format Standard	Low	Required when CLI is involved; service, operation, region, and parameter syntax

7. Generate Mermaid data flow diagram → references/dataflow-diagram.md.

8. Generate IAM policies → references/iam-policies.md using least privilege.

9. Record API references — Keep verified API paths in phase-2-summary.json. If a generated Skill needs reusable API documentation, add a reference file under references/ using an allowed kebab-case filename.

10. Package limits — Total file content size ≤ 40 MB, total files ≤ 30, and SKILL.md ≤ 500 lines. Split oversized SKILL.md content into references/.

11. File extension allowlist — Every file must have one of these 46 extensions: .md, .mdx, .txt, .json, .json5, .yaml, .yml, .toml, .js, .cjs, .mjs, .ts, .tsx, .jsx, .py, .sh, .ps1, .psm1, .psd1, .r, .rb, .go, .rs, .swift, .kt, .java, .cs, .cpp, .c, .h, .hpp, .sql, .csv, .tsv, .ini, .cfg, .conf, .env, .properties, .dat, .xml, .html, .css, .scss, .sass, .svg. Files without an extension or outside this allowlist must be removed or renamed.

12. Change scope — A pull request must change only one Skill directory. Use bash scripts/validate-skill.sh -s {skill-path} -b <base-ref> to validate the PR diff when a base ref is available.

🛑 Strictly prohibited from generating hallucinated URIs / fabricated API paths. Feature points not verified in Phase 2 must not have specific commands written.

Output: phase-3-summary.json — List of generated files and structure validation results

Phase 4: Test Preparation

Dependency: Phase 3 document generation completed (phase-3-summary.json exists)

1. Generate test cases — Split test cases based on Phase 2/3 feature points

   Case Type	Coverage Requirement	Example
   CLI cases	One case per hcloud command	hcloud ECS ListServers --cli-region=cn-north-4 --limit=1
   SDK cases	One case per SDK call	list_sub_customer_coupons(limit=1)
   API cases	One case per user-provided endpoint	curl -X GET {endpoint}

2. Save test cases as JSON → templates/test-vars.json

   {
     "test_cases": [
       {"id": "TC-01", "name": "...", "command": "...", "expected": "..."},
       ...
     ]
   }

3. Show all test cases to the user for confirmation

4. Run tests:

   • Read AK/SK from environment variables: 自动扫描所有以 HUAWEI / HW / HWC 开头的环境变量，匹配其中含 ACCESS_KEY / _AK / SECRET_KEY / _SK 的键值对

   • If no valid AK/SK env var or CLI profile is detected, output the env-var setup template below and STOP — never ask the user to type AK/SK in chat. The user fills in real values out-of-band and re-runs the Pre-check:

     export HUAWEI_ACCESS_KEY="<your-access-key-id>"
     read -rs HUAWEI_SECRET_KEY; export HUAWEI_SECRET_KEY
     export HUAWEI_REGION="cn-north-4"

     If the user cannot / will not provide env vars, terminate the process. Strictly prohibited from skipping credential-required steps.

   • Execute test cases one by one

   • Before executing mutating commands (Create/Update/Delete), must prompt the user and wait for confirmation

5. Test verification flow:

   Each case → Try CLI execution
     ├── ✅ Success → Record PASS
     └── ❌ Failure → Check syntax issues
          ├── ✅ Syntax issue → Fix and retry
          └── ❌ Non-syntax issue → Fallback to SDK
               ├── ✅ Success → Record PASS (SDK)
               └── ❌ Failure → Fallback to API (user-provided endpoint)
                    ├── ✅ Success → Record PASS (API)
                    └── ❌ Failure → Record FAIL ⛔ requires manual verification
   

Output: phase-4-summary.json — Test case list + per-case execution results

Phase 5: Detailed Testing

Dependency: Phase 4 test preparation completed (phase-4-summary.json exists)

1. Full regression: Execute all test cases generated in Phase 4

2. Resource lifecycle testing (applicable to Skills involving resource creation/modification/deletion):

   • Create resource → Verify creation succeeded (query to confirm)
   • Runtime query → Verify resource status is correct
   • Destroy resource → Verify resource release
   • Test report outputs information on created/modified/deleted resources
   • Prompt the user and wait for confirmation before each step

3. Management-type Skills:

   • If CRUD operations are involved → End-to-end full testing
   • If query-only → Output query results to test report

4. Report generation:

   • Test results aggregated by case
   • Detailed record of resource changes
   • Detailed error information for failed cases

Output: phase-5-summary.json — Detailed test results + resource operation records

Phase 6: Resource Cleanup and Compliance Check

Dependency: Phase 5 detailed testing completed (phase-5-summary.json exists)

1. Resource Cleanup:

   • Check whether all resources created in Phase 5 have been released
   • Unreleased resources → Prompt user and attempt cleanup
   • Record cleanup results

2. Huawei Cloud Skill Specification Compliance Check (against 华为云Skill检查规范):

   Check Item	Level	Verification Method
   SKILL.md exists	Critical	File existence check
   Skill directory under skills/	Low	Path format: skills/{category}/{subcategory}/{skill-name}/
   Skill package naming convention	High	Directory name matches huawei-cloud-{product}-{function}
   One PR submits only one Skill	Critical	git diff checks that PR changes only affect a single Skill directory
   YAML Frontmatter exists	Critical	grep '^---$'
   name field exists	Critical	Frontmatter name field exists and matches directory name
   description field exists	Critical	Frontmatter description field exists and contains feature summary + trigger words
   description includes trigger words	Medium	Accept Triggers include:, Use when, or equivalent trigger conditions

   Core Commands section	High	Match Core Commands or 核心命令
   Parameter Confirmation section	High	Match Parameter Confirmation or 参数确认
   Reference Documents section	Critical	Match Reference Documents, References, or 参考文档
   KooCLI Command Format Standard section	Low	Required when CLI is involved; match the English or Chinese heading
   references/cli-installation-guide.md	High	Required when CLI is involved, file existence
   references/iam-policies.md	Critical	File existence
   references/verification-method.md	Medium	Recommended file existence
   references/acceptance-criteria.md	Low	Recommended file existence
   Reference document kebab-case naming	Low	File names under references/ are all lowercase kebab-case
   Credential hardcoding	Critical	grep for credential hardcoding patterns and CLI credential config
   Cross-Skill direct calls	Critical	grep other Skill names
   CLI write operations require confirmation	Low	Check whether user confirmation is prompted
   Service name requirement	Medium	Every concrete hcloud service matches a KooCLI Service name and starts with uppercase/title case, such as ECS, CloudPond, or IAMAccessAnalyzer
   Operation name PascalCase	Medium	Every concrete operation name uses PascalCase
   Includes --cli-region	Medium	Every concrete CLI command includes the region parameter
   Total skill size ≤ 40 MB	Medium	Sum all file content sizes under the Skill directory
   Total file count ≤ 30	Medium	Count SKILL.md and every file in all subdirectories
   SKILL.md line count ≤ 500	Medium	Split excess content into references/
   File extensions in allowlist	Medium	Reject extensionless files and extensions outside the 46-type allowlist

   3. Security Audit:

   Have the Agent orchestrate the five-tool audit described in references/security-audit-guide.md. Do not invoke another named Skill or call scripts from another Skill directory directly.

   The gate combines skillcheck, markdownlint-cli2, cisco-ai-skill-scanner, the Huawei Cloud specification check, and gitleaks. It must explicitly cover these Critical specification checks:

   Check	Required coverage
   Secret leak detection	AK/SK hardcoding, hcloud configure set, and report-output masking
   Vulnerability pattern detection	Known command injection, reverse shell, dangerous function, and prompt injection patterns
   Dependency security detection	Known unsafe dependency versions via pip audit, safety check, or an equivalent tool
   Insecure configuration detection	Insecure protocols, weak passwords, and unsafe defaults

   ERROR or CRITICAL findings must be fixed and re-audited. WARNING-only results require explicit user acceptance. Record the report path, verdict, findings, and accepted warnings in phase-6-summary.json.

3. Final report:

   • Merge Phase 1-6 phase summaries
   • Include key conclusions from the security audit report (skill-gate-report)
   • Output complete creation report
   • Mark all incomplete items

4. Final six-phase completeness check:

   Check phase-1-summary.json exists → If missing, restart from Phase 1
   Check phase-2-summary.json exists → If missing, restart from Phase 2
   Check phase-3-summary.json exists → If missing, restart from Phase 3
   Check phase-4-summary.json exists → If missing, restart from Phase 4
   Check phase-5-summary.json exists → If missing, restart from Phase 5
   Check phase-6-summary.json exists → If missing, restart from Phase 6
   

   All phases complete → Creation done. Missing phases → Restart from the missing phase.

5. Clean up phase summary files: After completeness check passes, delete all phase-*-summary.json files under the skill directory

    # Execute after final completeness check passes
    # Safety check: ensure skill-path is a legitimate directory under the expected path
    [ -d "{skill-path}" ] && [ -f "{skill-path}/SKILL.md" ] && rm -f {skill-path}/phase-*.json
    echo "✅ phase-1~6-summary.json cleanup complete"

   Note: Only perform cleanup after the completeness check fully passes. If there are missing phases, do not clean up; restart from the missing phase.

Output: phase-6-summary.json — Final creation report + compliance check results + security audit conclusion

KooCLI Command Format Standard

hcloud <Service> <Operation> --cli-region=<region> [--key=value ...]

Core Commands

test-cli-commands.sh 仅执行白名单命令（hcloud/python3/curl/bash 开头），其他命令被拒绝且不会执行。validate-skill.sh 对不存在的 skill 目录会明确报错（exit 1）。

Parameter Confirmation

Edge Cases

Verification Method

Specification Compliance Verification

bash scripts/validate-skill.sh -s {skill-path}
# Check against 华为云Skill检查规范 item by item

Functional Testing

bash scripts/test-cli-commands.sh -s {skill-path} -e cli   # CLI priority
bash scripts/test-cli-commands.sh -s {skill-path} -e sdk   # SDK fallback
bash scripts/test-cli-commands.sh -s {skill-path} -e api   # API fallback

Six-Phase Completeness Check

Final verification: Check whether phase-1-summary.json ~ phase-6-summary.json exist
All exist ✅ → Creation complete
Missing any ❌ → Restart from the missing phase

Security Audit (Phase 6)

Have the Agent orchestrate the tools listed in references/security-audit-guide.md, collect their findings into the Phase 6 report, fix every ERROR/CRITICAL issue, and repeat until the gate passes. Do not call another Skill's scripts directly.

Best Practices

• During Phase 1 requirements analysis, try to cover all functional dimensions to avoid rework in later phases
• In Phase 2 technical research, prioritize CLI, then SDK, and API last; do not use SDK when CLI is available
• In Phase 2, read SDK _http_info to get real API paths; strictly prohibited from inferring
• In Phase 4/5 testing, mutating operations (Create/Update/Delete) must be confirmed by the user before execution
• If Phase 6 compliance check fails, fix the issues first, then re-verify; do not skip

Notes

• Six-phase pipeline strictly follows sequential order; no phase may be skipped
• API endpoints are only allowed from SDK source _http_info or Huawei Cloud API Explorer; strictly prohibited from inferring via naming patterns
• Pre-check is a hard gate. Credentials (AK/SK) are sourced from environment variables or active CLI profile — never read, echoed, hardcoded, or entered through hcloud configure set with literal values
• If AK/SK is not set after running the Pre-check, output the env-var setup template (export HUAWEI_ACCESS_KEY=... / export HUAWEI_SECRET_KEY=...) for the user to fill out-of-band. NEVER ask the user to paste AK/SK into chat. If the user does not configure, terminate the process. Strictly prohibited from skipping any step that requires credentials
• BSS service SDK must use GlobalCredentials + with_endpoints; BasicCredentials must not be used
• Resources created during resource lifecycle testing must be cleaned up in Phase 6 to avoid leftovers
• When the Phase 6 security audit fails, CRITICAL/ERROR level issues must be fixed and the Agent must rerun the audit
• skill-scanner only detects known cloud API key formats; common passwords/Chinese keyword credentials require gitleaks supplementary detection
• The skillPath in skills-lock.json is: skills/devtools/common/huawei-cloud-skill-creator/SKILL.md

Design Principles

• Six-Phase Strict Pipeline — Phases are chain-dependent and cannot be skipped
• Phase 2 No API Inference — API endpoints only from SDK source _http_info or Huawei Cloud API Explorer; strictly prohibited from guessing via naming patterns
• Phase 3 Generate Based on Facts — CLI commands / SDK scripts / API endpoints generated per Phase 2 conclusions; no endpoint → mark ⛔
• Phase 4/5 Real Execution — Every command must be actually executed and verified; if it fails, fallback or mark
• Phase 6 Double Check — Resource cleanup + specification compliance + six-phase completeness
• Credential Security — No hardcoded AK/SK, read from environment variables, write operations require user confirmation
• Credentials Mandatory — If AK/SK is missing, output the env-var setup template (export HUAWEI_ACCESS_KEY=... / export HUAWEI_SECRET_KEY=...) and let the user fill it out-of-band. Never ask the user to paste AK/SK into chat. If the user does not configure, terminate process. Strictly prohibited from skipping
• Least Privilege — iam-policies.md provides least-privilege policy JSON
