What it does

Aliyun Openapi Discovery is an agent skill from cinience/alicloud-skills. Use when discovering and reconciling Alibaba Cloud product catalogs from Ticket System, Support & Service, and BSS OpenAPI; fetch OpenAPI product/version/API metadata; and summarize API coverage to plan new skills. Use when you need a complete product list, product-to-API mapping, or coverage/gap reports for skill generation.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/openapi-meta.md` and `references/product-sources.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering OpenAPI specifications. It works with OpenAPI and Alibaba Cloud. The repository describes itself as: alibaba cloud skills,qwen ,wan and all skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Discovering and reconciling Alibaba Cloud product catalogs from Ticket System
  • Support & Service
  • Fetch OpenAPI product/version/API metadata
  • Summarize API coverage to plan new skills

Example prompts

  • “/aliyun-openapi-discovery”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Join products with API counts
  2. Summarize products by category/group
  3. (Optional) Compare products vs existing skills

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1818263. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 9 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    • ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Aliyun Openapi Discovery loads about 745 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 200 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~745
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

1.0.0

Alibaba Cloud Product + API Discovery

Follow this workflow to collect products, resolve API metadata, and build summaries for skill planning.

Workflow

  1. Fetch product lists from the three sources
  • Ticket System (ListProducts)
  • Support & Service (ListProductByGroup)
  • BSS OpenAPI (QueryProductList)

Run the bundled scripts (from this skill folder):

bash
python scripts/products_from_ticket_system.py
python scripts/products_from_support_service.py
python scripts/products_from_bssopenapi.py

Provide required env vars in each script (see references).

  1. Merge product lists
bash
python scripts/merge_product_sources.py

This writes output/product-scan/merged_products.json and .md.

  1. Fetch OpenAPI metadata product list
bash
python scripts/products_from_openapi_meta.py

This writes output/product-scan/openapi-meta/products.json and products_normalized.json.

  1. Fetch OpenAPI API docs per product/version
bash
python scripts/apis_from_openapi_meta.py

By default this can be large. Use filters for dry runs:

  • OPENAPI_META_MAX_PRODUCTS=10
  • OPENAPI_META_PRODUCTS=Ecs,Ons
  • OPENAPI_META_VERSIONS=2014-05-26
  1. Join products with API counts
bash
python scripts/join_products_with_api_meta.py
  1. Summarize products by category/group
bash
python scripts/summarize_openapi_meta_products.py
  1. (Optional) Compare products vs existing skills
bash
python scripts/analyze_products_vs_skills.py

Output discipline

All generated files must go under output/. Do not place temporary files elsewhere.

Validation

bash
mkdir -p output/aliyun-openapi-discovery
for f in skills/platform/openapi/aliyun-openapi-discovery/scripts/*.py; do
  python3 -m py_compile "$f"
done
echo "py_compile_ok" > output/aliyun-openapi-discovery/validate.txt

Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/aliyun-openapi-discovery/validate.txt is generated.

Output And Evidence

  • Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under output/aliyun-openapi-discovery/.
  • Include key parameters (region/resource id/time range) in evidence files for reproducibility.

Prerequisites

  • Configure least-privilege Alibaba Cloud credentials before execution.
  • Prefer environment variables: ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, optional ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID.
  • If region is unclear, ask the user before running mutating operations.

References

  • Product source APIs: see references/product-sources.md
  • OpenAPI meta endpoints: see references/openapi-meta.md
