## What it does

This skill provides instructions for coding agents calling Tencent CloudBase platform features through raw HTTP requests. It targets environments without official SDK support, such as Go or Python backends, Flutter mobile clients, and command-line scripts using curl. It does not apply to projects using `@cloudbase/node-sdk` or standard Web SDK packages.

The agent verifies the target environment ID and selects credentials: an `AccessToken`, a server-side `API Key`, or a `Publishable Key`. To avoid guessing routes or payload structures, the assistant relies on the `searchKnowledgeBase` tool with OpenAPI specifications for databases, functions, or storage. Secret API keys must stay on the server.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TencentCloudBase/skills --skill http-api-cloudbase -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TencentCloudBase/skills --skill http-api-cloudbase -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install TencentCloudBase/skills http-api-cloudbase
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/http-api-cloudbase/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

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

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/TencentCloudBase/skills --path skills/http-api-cloudbase
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TencentCloudBase/skills --skill http-api-cloudbase -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/http-api-cloudbase/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- call CloudBase cloud functions from a Python or Go backend
- query MySQL or NoSQL databases via CloudBase RESTful endpoints
- configure phone SMS verification using raw HTTP requests
- access CloudBase storage endpoints from curl scripts

## Example prompts
- Write a Python script to trigger a CloudBase cloud function over HTTP
- Generate a curl request to query the CloudBase MySQL REST API using an API Key
- Implement CloudBase SMS user verification via HTTP in a Flutter app

## 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.

## Activation Contract

### Use this first when

- The request comes from Android, iOS, Flutter, React Native, non-Node backends, or admin scripts that must call official CloudBase APIs via raw HTTP.
- The task is to consume CloudBase platform endpoints, not to build a new HTTP service on CloudBase.

### Read before writing code if

- The platform does not support a CloudBase SDK, or the user explicitly asks for HTTP API integration.
- The user says "HTTP API" but it is unclear whether they mean official CloudBase endpoints or their own business API.

### Then also read

- Auth configuration -> `../auth-tool-cloudbase/SKILL.md`
- MySQL MCP management -> `../relational-database-mcp-cloudbase/SKILL.md`
- Your own HTTP service on CloudBase -> `../cloud-functions/SKILL.md` or `../cloudrun-development/SKILL.md`

### Do NOT use for

- CloudBase Web SDK flows, mini program SDK flows, or MCP-driven management tasks.
- Building your own HTTP service or REST API on CloudBase.

### Common mistakes / gotchas

- Treating Web SDK examples as valid for native Apps.
- Guessing endpoints without reading OpenAPI definitions.
- Confusing official CloudBase HTTP APIs with your own function or CloudRun endpoint.
- Mixing raw HTTP API integration with MCP management logic.

### Minimal checklist

- Read [HTTP API Routing Checklist](checklist.md) before implementation.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever you need to call **CloudBase platform features** via **raw HTTP APIs**, for example:

- Non-Node backends (Go, Python, Java, PHP, etc.)
- Integration tests or admin scripts that use curl or language HTTP clients
- Direct database operations via 关系型数据库 RESTful API (MySQL/PostgreSQL)
- Cloud function invocation via HTTP
- Any scenario where SDKs are not available or not preferred

Do **not** use this skill for:

- Frontend Web apps using `@cloudbase/js-sdk` (use **CloudBase Web** skills)
- Node.js code using `@cloudbase/node-sdk` (use **CloudBase Node** skills)
- Authentication flows (use **CloudBase Auth HTTP API** skill for auth-specific endpoints)

## How to use this skill (for a coding agent)

1. **Clarify the scenario**
   - Confirm this code will call HTTP endpoints directly (not SDKs).
   - Ask for:
