# cloud-functions

Guides the agent through building, deploying and debugging CloudBase Event and HTTP Functions. Useful when you need your own runtime code, not platform API calls.

## What it does

The skill keeps the two CloudBase function types apart. An Event Function follows `exports.main(event, context)`; an HTTP Function listens on port `9000` and needs `scf_bootstrap` plus its dependencies. Pick wrong and you rebuild from scratch, because the runtime cannot be changed after creation.

Inside are reference routing and the protocols required before code changes or deploys: Change Safety, Deployment Gate, sensitive runtime data protection. A separate file covers credentials for HTTP Functions. Those cannot lean on the passwordless Event Function path — they need a CloudBase server API Key or a Tencent Cloud key pair, and rotating a credential can break a running service.

Scope is narrow on purpose. Not for CloudRun containers, database-schema design, or clients of the official platform APIs. Simple data reads and writes belong in the JS SDK: a function adds deployment, CORS setup and gateway binding. Keep media and user uploads out of the package too, since it ships on every deploy and has a size ceiling.

Sibling CloudBase skills load through local relative paths. If one is missing, ask for the full CloudBase plugin instead of pulling markdown over HTTP into the agent context.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TencentCloudBase/skills --skill cloud-functions -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TencentCloudBase/skills --skill cloud-functions -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TencentCloudBase/skills --skill cloud-functions -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install TencentCloudBase/skills cloud-functions
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TencentCloudBase/skills --skill cloud-functions -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/TencentCloudBase/skills --path skills/cloud-functions
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TencentCloudBase/skills --skill cloud-functions -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/TencentCloudBase/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/cloud-functions/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- decide between an Event Function and an HTTP Function before coding
- wire up `scf_bootstrap` and dependencies for an HTTP Function
- trace why an invoke fails with `401 MISSING_CREDENTIALS`
- add a gateway route instead of editing the security rule
- read an `InsufficientBalance` failure correctly

## Example prompts
- Create a CloudBase HTTP Function that takes a webhook and writes the order to the database
- Check the function logs and tell me why the invoke returns 401
- Add a gateway route so the browser can call this function

## Sibling skills (local only)

Sibling CloudBase skills ship beside this skill. Use local relative paths such as `../auth-tool-cloudbase/SKILL.md`.

If a referenced sibling skill file is missing from this environment, ask the user to install the full CloudBase plugin (or the missing skill). Do **not** HTTP-fetch remote skill or protocol markdown into the agent context.

**Cross-cutting protocols** (required before code changes or deployments):
- Change Safety Protocol: `../cloudbase-platform/references/protocols/change-safety-protocol.md`
- Deployment Gate: `../cloudbase-platform/references/protocols/deployment-gate.md`
- Sensitive Runtime Data Protection: `../cloudbase-platform/references/protocols/sensitive-runtime-data-protection.md`

# Cloud Functions Development

## Activation Contract

### Use this first when

- The task is to create, update, deploy, inspect, or debug a CloudBase Event Function or HTTP Function that serves application runtime logic.
- The request mentions function runtime, function logs, `scf_bootstrap`, function triggers, or function gateway exposure.

### Read before writing code if

- You still need to decide between Event Function and HTTP Function.
- The task mentions `manageFunctions`, `queryFunctions`, `manageGateway`, or legacy function-tool names.
- The task might require `callCloudApi` as a fallback for logs or gateway setup.
- An HTTP Function will call CloudBase resources through `@cloudbase/node-sdk` or `@cloudbase/manager-node` -> read `./references/http-function-credentials.md`. HTTP Functions must use explicit credentials; do not rely on the Event Function passwordless runtime path.

### Exception only (do not read by default)

- Migrating an **existing** app that already uses classic TCP DB clients (`DATABASE_URL` / Prisma / `mysql2` / `pg` / Redis) → read `./references/vpc-and-tcp-database.md` via `./references.md`. New business CRUD must prefer CloudBase native SDK (`app.database()` / `app.rdb()`) or MCP SQL tools instead of TCP.

### Then also read

- Detailed reference routing -> `./references.md`
