huawei-cloud-find-skills

[!IMPORTANT]
For any Huawei Cloud query or management task:

1. Search — use this skill (huawei-cloud-find-skills) to find the relevant Skill.
2. Install — install the matched Skill (see Step 3).
3. Execute — follow the installed Skill's instructions to fulfill the request.

Overview

This skill enables users to efficiently search, discover, and install Huawei Cloud skills.

Scenario Description

This skill enables users to:

• Search Skills: Find skills by keyword, category, or both (matched against name, description, and triggers)
• Browse Categories: Explore available skill categories
• View Skill Details: Fetch full SKILL.md content from GitHub for specific skills
• Install Skills: Guide users through skill installation via npx skills add (GitCode default), npx clawhub install, or fallback GitHub method

Architecture: GitCode API v5 (index.json + cn-en-map.json) → HTTP GET (base64 decode) → In-memory search → GitHub raw fetch for details → Install

Use Cases

• "Find a skill for managing ECS instances"
• "What Huawei Cloud skills are available for OBS?"
• "华为云有哪些 VPC 相关的 skill?"
• "Browse all available Huawei Cloud skills"
• "Install a skill for RDS management"
• "帮我找一个华为云网络相关的skill"

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+ must be installed and available as python (or python3) in PATH
• Network access to gitcode.com (API v5 for index) and github.com / raw.githubusercontent.com (for skill details)

Step 0: Check Python Environment

MANDATORY: Before running any script command, verify Python is available.

# Check Python availability
python --version   # or: python3 --version

If the command fails or returns Python 2.x:

1. Install Python 3: Download from python.org or use a package manager:

   # macOS
   brew install python3
   # Ubuntu/Debian
   sudo apt-get install python3
   # Windows — download installer from python.org, check "Add Python to PATH"
   

2. Verify after install: Run python --version again to confirm Python 3.6+ is available
3. If python points to Python 2: Use python3 instead of python in all commands below

Index Source

The search script fetches the skill index from GitCode API v5 via HTTP GET (base64 auto-decoded):

SKILLS_INDEX_URL=https://gitcode.com/api/v5/repos/2501_91318609/skills-for-index/contents/skills-index/index.json?ref=main
SKILLS_CN_EN_MAP_URL=https://gitcode.com/api/v5/repos/2501_91318609/skills-for-index/contents/skills-index/cn-en-map.json?ref=main

Core Workflow and Core Commands

Step 1: Search Skills

MANDATORY: The agent MUST execute the search script to search the skill index. Do NOT read the JSON file directly — always use the script.

Given keyword (from AI-understood user intent) and optional category, run the search script:

# PowerShell
python scripts/search-skills.py -k "<keyword>"
python scripts/search-skills.py -k "<keyword>" -c "<category>"
python scripts/search-skills.py -c "<category>"

# Bash
python scripts/search-skills.py -k "<keyword>"
python scripts/search-skills.py -k "<keyword>" -c "<category>"
python scripts/search-skills.py -c "<category>"

→ scripts/search-skills.py (Python — cross-platform)

What the script does:

1. Fetches index.json and cn-en-map.json via HTTP GET from GitCode API v5 (auto-decodes base64 content)
2. Expands keywords via cn-en-map.json (bidirectional CN↔EN, e.g., "ECS" → "ECS, 弹性云服务器, 云服务器")
3. Scores each skill: name match +10, trigger match +8, description match +5, service match +3
4. Sorts by score descending, outputs formatted results with matched keywords

Fallback iteration (if no results): 1) Switch CN↔EN keywords 2) Expand keywords 3) Remove category filter 4) Try synonyms 5) List all skills

The process should persist until the skill is found or its absence is confirmed. In the event of total failure, notify the user of the specific steps that were attempted.

Step 2: View Skill Details (optional)

Fetch the full SKILL.md content from GitHub for intent validation. Skip this step if the search results from Step 1 are sufficiently informative.

# URL pattern — use the skill's category, service, and name from index
DETAIL_URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills/master/skills/${category}/${service}/${name}/SKILL.md"

The agent can fetch this URL using curl or its web-fetch tool, then present the skill's full documentation to the user.

Step 3: Install Skill

MANDATORY: Before installing, the agent MUST call the install-count API to record the installation. Then use one of the install commands below. Option A is the default; Option C is a fallback when Option A is unavailable.

Step 3.1: Record Install Count

Before executing the install command, call the install-count API. The skill_id is constructed from the search results in Step 1: skills/<category>/<service>/<skill-name>.

IMPORTANT: The category and service values MUST be taken directly from the Step 1 search output (format: name (category/service)). Do NOT guess or hardcode them.

curl -s -X POST "https://devdata2.huaweicloud.com/rest/developer/fwdo/rest/developer/servlet/hdskillservice/v1/obs/findcounts/increment" -H "Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Origin: https://skills.huaweicloud.com" -H "Referer: https://skills.huaweicloud.com/" -d "{\"skill_id\":\"skills/<category>/<service>/<skill-name>\"}"

This is a fire-and-forget request. Do NOT block the install flow on its success or failure.

Step 3.2: Execute Install Command

# Option A: npx skills add from GitCode (default)
npx skills add https://gitcode.com/huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills.git#master --skill <skill-name> -y

# Option B: npx clawhub install (OpenClaw ecosystem)
npx clawhub install <skill-name> -y

# Option C (fallback): npx skills add from GitHub
npx skills add huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills --skill <skill-name> -y

If all installation attempts fail, report the error message to the user. Do NOT attempt any method outside the commands above.

Parameters

Parameter	Required/Optional	Description	Default
Keyword	Optional	Search keyword (matched against name, description, triggers, service)	None
Category	Optional	Category code for filtering (e.g., "computing", "storage", "network")	None
skill-name	Required (Step 3)	Exact skill name for installing	None

Reference Documentation

Document	Description
GitCode API v5 index.json	Skill index fetched via HTTP GET (base64 decoded)
GitCode API v5 cn-en-map.json	Chinese-English keyword mapping fetched via HTTP GET (base64 decoded)
scripts/search-skills.py	Search script (Python) — fetches from GitCode API v5, expands keywords, scores, sorts

Search Heuristics

Optional reference for keyword-to-category hints. The agent can infer categories from index.json without these.

• Cloud infrastructure keywords (ecs, bms, vpc, obs, rds, ...) → likely computing, network, storage, etc.
• Tool keywords (cli, terraform, koo) → likely devtools
• Management keywords (monitoring, alarm, log) → likely monitoring

Troubleshooting

Issue: python is not recognized as a command

Cause: Python 3 is not installed or not in PATH
Solution: Install Python 3.6+ and ensure it is added to PATH. On Windows, re-run the installer and check "Add Python to PATH". Alternatively, use python3 if available.

Issue: Script fails with SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Cause: System python points to Python 2.x (the script requires Python 3.6+)
Solution: Run with python3 explicitly: python3 scripts/search-skills.py -k "<keyword>"

Issue: Script fails with "Failed to fetch index.json"

Cause: GitCode API v5 URL unreachable
Solution: Verify network connectivity to gitcode.com

Issue: GitCode API v5 returns 404

Cause: File path incorrect or default branch is not main
Solution: Verify the skill's category, service, and name from search results

Issue: Search returns no results

Cause: Keywords don't match any skill
Solution:

1. Try broader keywords
2. Switch between Chinese and English keywords (e.g., "对象存储" → "obs")
3. List all skills: python scripts/search-skills.py -c "computing"

Notes

• This skill is read-only and does not create any cloud resources
• No cache management needed — index is fetched fresh from GitCode API v5 each run
• Network required — index data is hosted on GitCode, fetched via HTTP GET (base64 decoded)
• MUST use script to search — do not read index.json directly
• Index repo: https://gitcode.com/2501_91318609/skills-for-index (branch: main)
• Skills repo: https://github.com/huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills (branch: master)
