## What it does

The skill teaches the agent how Catalyst Stratus works: uploading, downloading and deleting objects, generating signed URLs, and multipart upload. It also covers the 250 GB limit for a single-shot upload. For files of 100 MB and up, the skill recommends switching to multipart.

One thing to know up front: Stratus is not S3-API-compatible. It has its own SDK, so code written for boto3 or aws-sdk will not carry over. Moving from AWS S3 or GCS goes through the Stratus Migration Tool. Bucket names are globally unique, and the skill suggests a `{app-name}-{project-id-prefix}` pattern to avoid collisions.

There is also a default about response code. When a function returns a Stratus result to the client, the skill writes native Node.js syntax rather than Express: `res.status()` and `res.json()` do not exist unless Express is wired as middleware. Worth checking in your own template, or the response comes out in the wrong shape.

## Requirements
- Works with: AWS

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add catalystbyzoho/agent-skills --skill catalyst-stratus -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/catalyst-stratus/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/catalyst-stratus/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add catalystbyzoho/agent-skills --skill catalyst-stratus -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/catalyst-stratus/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add catalystbyzoho/agent-skills --skill catalyst-stratus -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/catalyst-stratus/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install catalystbyzoho/agent-skills catalyst-stratus
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/catalyst-stratus/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add catalystbyzoho/agent-skills --skill catalyst-stratus -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/catalystbyzoho/agent-skills --path skills/catalyst-stratus
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/catalyst-stratus/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add catalystbyzoho/agent-skills --skill catalyst-stratus -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/catalystbyzoho/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/catalyst-stratus/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- upload a file to a Stratus bucket
- generate a signed URL for a download
- set up multipart upload for large files
- migrate data from AWS S3 or GCS
- pick a bucket name that will not collide

## Example prompts
- upload this file to Stratus and give me a download link
- generate a signed URL for this object in the bucket
- set up multipart upload for a 200 MB file

name: catalyst-stratus
description: "Catalyst Stratus — object storage service with upload/download, signed URLs, and multipart upload support. Stratus uses its own SDK-based APIs (not S3-API-compatible). Migrate from AWS S3 or GCS using the Stratus Migration Tool. Trigger on 'Stratus', 'object storage', 'upload file', 'signed URL', 'putObject', 'getObject', or 'bucket'."
metadata:
  version: "2.1.2"

## How It Works

1. **Bucket naming** — Bucket names are globally unique. Use `{app-name}-{project-id-prefix}` pattern to avoid collisions.
2. **Load `references/stratus-basics.md`** — for upload/download/delete patterns, the 250 GB single-upload limit, signed URL generation, and multipart setup.
3. **Large files** — Multipart upload is recommended (not required) for files ≥ 100 MB. Single-shot upload supports up to 250 GB per object. Load the multipart section of `stratus-basics.md`.
4. **Signed URLs** — For user-facing direct downloads/uploads, generate a signed URL server-side and return it to the client.

## Response Syntax Default

When writing function code that returns a Stratus result to the client, **default to native Node.js response syntax** — not Express. Advanced I/O exposes raw `http.ServerResponse`; `res.status()` and `res.json()` do not exist unless the user explicitly chose the Express template.

- Native (default): `res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }); res.end(JSON.stringify(data));`
- Express (opt-in only): only if the user has `express` installed and wired as middleware

## Triggers

Use this skill for: "Stratus", "object storage", "file storage", "upload file", "download file", "signed URL", "pre-signed URL", "multipart upload", `putObject`, `getObject`, "bucket", "Stratus bucket", "store files on Catalyst", "Stratus vs File Store", "250GB limit", or "file download link".
