Alibabacloud Cli Guidance

If you're scripting Alibaba Cloud ops or just prefer the terminal to the console, this walks you through the aliyun CLI from install to API calls. It covers credential setup (OAuth for local machines, environment variables for CI/CD), plugin management, and command construction for ECS, OSS, RDS, Function Compute, and the rest of the product line. The skill enforces a clear user-agent attribution pattern (AI-mode for agent sessions, environment variables for one-offs) so telemetry stays clean, and includes pre-flight checks for CLI version 3.3.3+ and plugin updates. Useful when you hit SignatureDoesNotMatch errors at 2am or need to remember the right flag syntax without opening docs.

Instructions

Agent execution: AI-mode and User-Agent (this skill)

Skill identifier (same string whichever path you use): AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-cli-guidance

Use exactly one way to attach this skill to requests. Do not combine AI-mode (configure ai-mode + set-user-agent) with ALIBABA_CLOUD_USER_AGENT or a per-command env prefix for the same skill token — the CLI stacks those sources, and User-Agent / attribution will duplicate (bad for telemetry).
