What it does

Aliyun Pts Manage is an agent skill from cinience/alicloud-skills. Use when managing Alibaba Cloud Performance Testing Service (PTS) via OpenAPI/SDK, including scene lifecycle operations, test start/stop control, report retrieval, and metadata-driven API discovery before production changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/api_quick_map.md` and `references/sources.md`).

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

When your agent uses it

  • Managing Alibaba Cloud Performance Testing Service (PTS) via OpenAPI/SDK
  • Including scene lifecycle operations
  • Test start/stop control
  • Report retrieval

Example prompts

  • “/aliyun-pts-manage”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET

Workflow steps

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

  1. Environment variables: ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET / ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID
  2. Shared credentials file: ~/.alibabacloud/credentials

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 5 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.aliyun.com

    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 Pts Manage loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

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.

Use when managing Alibaba Cloud Performance Testing Service (PTS) via OpenAPI/SDK, including scene lifecycle operations, test start/stop control, report retrieval, and metadata-driven API discovery before production changes.
version
1.0.0

Category: service

Alibaba Cloud Performance Testing Service (PTS)

Purpose

Use Alibaba Cloud PTS OpenAPI to support:

  • test scene inventory and inspection
  • pressure test planning and lifecycle automation
  • report and metrics retrieval for verification and troubleshooting

Prerequisites

  • Configure least-privilege Alibaba Cloud credentials.
  • Install Python SDKs (virtual environment recommended):
bash
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -U alibabacloud_pts20201020 alibabacloud_tea_openapi
  • Prefer environment variables:
    • ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    • ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET
    • optional ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID
  • Before mutating operations, run read-only API discovery and current-state checks.

AccessKey Priority

  1. Environment variables: ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET / ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID
  2. Shared credentials file: ~/.alibabacloud/credentials

If region/environment is unclear, confirm with user before mutating operations.

Workflow

  1. Identify target region, test scene identifiers, and operation scope.
  2. Run API discovery to confirm API names and required parameters.
  3. Execute read-only APIs first (List* / Get* / Describe*).
  4. Execute mutating operations only after confirming rollback and change window.
  5. Save outputs and evidence to output/aliyun-pts-manage/.

API Discovery

  • Product code: PTS
  • Default API version: 2020-10-20
  • Metadata source: https://api.aliyun.com/meta/v1/products/PTS/versions/2020-10-20/api-docs.json

Minimal Executable Quickstart

bash
python skills/observability/pts/aliyun-pts-manage/scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py

Optional arguments:

bash
python skills/observability/pts/aliyun-pts-manage/scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py \
  --product-code PTS \
  --version 2020-10-20 \
  --output-dir output/aliyun-pts-manage

List scenes (read-only):

bash
python skills/observability/pts/aliyun-pts-manage/scripts/list_pts_scenes.py \
  --region cn-hangzhou \
  --page-number 1 \
  --page-size 10 \
  --output output/aliyun-pts-manage/scenes.txt

Start one scene (mutating):

bash
python skills/observability/pts/aliyun-pts-manage/scripts/start_pts_scene.py \
  --region cn-hangzhou \
  --scene-id <scene-id> \
  --wait \
  --output output/aliyun-pts-manage/start-result.json

Stop one scene (mutating):

bash
python skills/observability/pts/aliyun-pts-manage/scripts/stop_pts_scene.py \
  --region cn-hangzhou \
  --scene-id <scene-id> \
  --wait \
  --output output/aliyun-pts-manage/stop-result.json

Common Operation Map

  • Scene inventory: ListPtsScene, GetPtsScene, ListOpenJMeterScenes, GetOpenJMeterScene
  • Scene lifecycle: CreatePtsScene, SavePtsScene, ModifyPtsScene, DeletePtsScene, DeletePtsScenes
  • Test execution control: StartPtsScene, StopPtsScene, StartTestingJMeterScene, StopTestingJMeterScene
  • Debug control: StartDebugPtsScene, StopDebugPtsScene, StartDebuggingJMeterScene, StopDebuggingJMeterScene
  • Reports/metrics: ListPtsReports, GetPtsReportDetails, GetPtsSceneRunningData, GetPtsSceneRunningStatus

See references/api_quick_map.md for grouped API lists.

Script Catalog

  • scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py: fetch metadata and generate API inventory files.
  • scripts/list_pts_scenes.py: list PTS scenes with pagination.
  • scripts/start_pts_scene.py: start a scene and optionally poll running status.
  • scripts/stop_pts_scene.py: stop a scene and optionally poll until non-running.

Output Policy

Write generated files and execution evidence to: output/aliyun-pts-manage/

Validation

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

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

Output And Evidence

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

References

  • Source list: references/sources.md
  • API quick map: references/api_quick_map.md
  • request/response templates: references/templates.md
