## What it does

This skill queries Huawei Cloud compute infrastructure using local Python scripts and the official Python SDK. It inspects ECS instances, BMS bare-metal servers, IMS image catalogs, disk attachments, and Auto Scaling groups. The tool does not perform write operations: creating, modifying, or deleting cloud resources is explicitly prohibited.

Running these checks requires Python 3.6 or newer along with `HW_ACCESS_KEY` and `HW_SECRET_KEY` environment variables. You do not need the hcloud or openstack CLI utilities because this skill relies strictly on internal package scripts run via `skill action=exec`. Before any resource lookup, the environment check script `scripts/check_env.sh` (or `check_env.ps1` on Windows) must pass to verify SDK access and credentials.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills --skill huawei-cloud-computing-query -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills --skill huawei-cloud-computing-query -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills --skill huawei-cloud-computing-query -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills huawei-cloud-computing-query
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills --skill huawei-cloud-computing-query -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills --path skills/computing/ops/huawei-cloud-computing-query
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills --skill huawei-cloud-computing-query -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

## When to use it
- query ECS instance details and flavor availability
- check BMS bare-metal server specs and account quotas
- list operating system images in Huawei Cloud IMS
- inspect Auto Scaling policies, configs, and activity logs

## Example prompts
- List available ECS flavors in region cn-north-4
- Check the current policies and activity log for my Auto Scaling group
- Query available Ubuntu IMS images for bare metal instances

# Huawei Cloud Resource Query

> **⚠️ Execution Method (Must Read): This skill executes queries via local Python scripts. Using hcloud, openstack, or other CLI tools or direct API calls is prohibited.**
>
> - Query scripts are located under the skill directory `scripts/<service_category>/` (e.g., `scripts/as/list_scaling_groups.py`)
> - All scripts and environment check scripts are inside the skill package. **You must use `skill action=exec` to execute them; do not run them directly in the shell**
> - For specific script paths and parameters, see `references/<service>/guide.md`
> - **Do not attempt hcloud, openstack, curl IAM, or other CLI/API methods; this skill does not depend on those tools**

## Overview

This skill is a standalone read-only query skill that queries Huawei Cloud resources, available specifications, and existing resource information by calling the Huawei Cloud Python SDK via local Python scripts.

This skill is applicable to the following scenarios:

1. Query available cloud resource specifications in a given region
2. Query available images for a specific operating system
3. Query cloud disk types and existing cloud disk information
4. Query existing resources and their key attributes
5. Query resources not created through Terraform or other IaC tools
6. Prepare real parameters for automation configuration, resource verification, or environment inventory
7. Obtain reusable information such as resource IDs, names, specifications, images, networks, and disks

This skill does NOT handle the following:

1. Creating resources
2. Modifying resources
3. Deleting resources
4. Guessing or fabricating information that was not queried
