## What it does

This skill guides agents through provisioning Tigris Object Storage. It covers authenticating with `@tigrisdata/cli` and creating storage buckets with assigned access keys.

For application code, it implements the `@tigrisdata/storage` SDK across frameworks like Next.js, Remix, Express, Rails, and Laravel. Instructions detail how to handle file uploads via `put` with optional multipart streaming, track transfer progress, and toggle object visibility. Custom bucket targets can be passed directly inside the `config` argument.

Because the CLI reveals the Secret Access Key only once during key creation, losing it forces an immediate credential reset. Projects built with Python or Django need the separate `tigris-python-sdk` skill instead.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tigrisdata/skills --skill file-storage -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tigrisdata/skills --skill file-storage -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tigrisdata/skills --skill file-storage -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install tigrisdata/skills file-storage
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tigrisdata/skills --skill file-storage -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/tigrisdata/skills --path skills/file-storage
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tigrisdata/skills --skill file-storage -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/tigrisdata/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/file-storage/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Create private or public buckets using the `tigris` CLI
- Generate access keys and assign `Editor` or `ReadOnly` roles
- Integrate file uploads into Next.js, Remix, or Express backends
- Configure multipart uploads for large files with progress reporting
- Set overwrite protection and random filename suffixes in `@tigrisdata/storage`

## Example prompts
- Write code to upload a public avatar using the `@tigrisdata/storage` SDK
- Create a new Tigris bucket via CLI and generate an access key with Editor permissions
- Implement a multipart video upload to Tigris with progress tracking

# Tigris File Storage

Store and serve files with Tigris Object Storage. Covers CLI setup (bucket, access keys, auth) and the `@tigrisdata/storage` SDK for application code.

## Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Install CLI & authenticate
npm install -g @tigrisdata/cli
tigris login

# 2. Create bucket and access key
tigris buckets create my-app-uploads
tigris access-keys create "my-app-uploads-key"
# ⚠ Save the Secret Access Key — shown only once
tigris access-keys assign tid_xxx --bucket my-app-uploads --role Editor

# 3. Install SDK
npm install @tigrisdata/storage
```

```bash
# .env
TIGRIS_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY_ID=tid_xxx
TIGRIS_STORAGE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=tsec_yyy
TIGRIS_STORAGE_ENDPOINT=https://t3.storage.dev
TIGRIS_STORAGE_BUCKET=my-app-uploads
```

```typescript
import { put } from "@tigrisdata/storage";

// Files are private by default — only authenticated requests can access them
const result = await put("avatars/user-123.jpg", file);
if (result.error) throw result.error;
console.log(result.data?.url);

// Use access: "public" only when anonymous users need direct URL access
// const result = await put("avatars/user-123.jpg", file, { access: "public" });
```

See **Getting Started with CLI** below for detailed steps.

## Getting Started with CLI

### Step 1: Install CLI

```bash
npm install -g @tigrisdata/cli
```

Verify the installation:

```bash
tigris --version
```

`t3` is an alias for `tigris` — all commands work with either.

### Step 2: Authenticate

```bash
tigris login
```

Opens browser for OAuth. After login, verify with:

```bash
tigris whoami
```

For CI/CD or non-interactive environments:

```bash
tigris configure --access-key <key> --access-secret <secret>
```

### Step 3: Create Bucket

```bash
tigris buckets create my-app-uploads
```

Key points:

- Buckets are **private** by default. Use `--public` for publicly readable objects.
- Buckets are **global** by default. Use `--locations` to pin to specific regions.
- Type `help` after any command to see its options (e.g., `tigris buckets create help`).

### Step 4: Create Access Key

```bash
tigris access-keys create "my-app-uploads-key"
```

This outputs an Access Key ID (`tid_xxx`) and Secret Access Key (`tsec_yyy`).

**The Secret Access Key is only shown once.** Copy it immediately. The Name field is only for human identification — it has no functional impact.

### Step 5: Configure Environment

Create `.env` in your project root:

```bash
TIGRIS_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY_ID=tid_xxx
TIGRIS_STORAGE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=tsec_yyy
TIGRIS_STORAGE_ENDPOINT=https://t3.storage.dev
TIGRIS_STORAGE_BUCKET=my-app-uploads
```
