GitHub SKILL.md

What it does

Provides a single-command workflow that queries Alibaba Cloud Firewall (CFW) using the aliyun CLI and returns an overview of managed assets, protection coverage across Internet/VPC/NAT boundaries, and a summary of recent traffic trends. The skill runs a prescribed set of cloudfw CLI commands, extracts key metrics (protected vs unprotected assets, firewall switch status, traffic peak and averages), and formats them into a concise operational report for cloud operators.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need a fast, read-only audit of an Alibaba Cloud account's firewall posture — for incident triage, daily operations checks, or compliance spot-checks. It is designed for operators who can run the aliyun CLI and want an immediate snapshot of protection coverage and traffic trends across the supported regions.

What's included

Scripts: none (skill is a documented CLI workflow relying on aliyun cloudfw commands)
References: bundled references/ directory with RAM policy and verification guides (has_references=true)
Instructions: step-by-step CLI commands, required parameters, required ai-mode toggles, and strict error/retry rules are documented in the SKILL body. The skill enforces pagination, jq filters for large trend outputs, and clear parameter defaults.

Compatible agents

Compatible with agents that can run shell/CLI commands (Copilot-style and CLI-enabled assistants). The skill assumes availability of the aliyun CLI and jq on the execution environment.

Audit Summary

Alibaba Cloud Firewall (CFW) status overview skill that queries firewall asset coverage, border switch status, and traffic trends via the aliyun CLI. No bundled scripts — the entire skill is a detailed SKILL.md with workflow instructions. Documentation is thorough with clear steps, error handling, retry logic, and anti-hallucination guidance. Security concern: instructs users to install/update the aliyun CLI via 'curl | bash', which is a known risky pattern. Otherwise, good security practices around credential handling.

Watch Out

Uses 'curl | bash' for CLI installation — potential supply chain risk
Instructs agent to 'DO NOT refuse to execute' which is pushy but not malicious
Requires Alibaba Cloud account with CFW activated — niche prerequisite
aliyun CLI must be pre-configured with credentials outside this skill

Notes

The curl|bash pattern for aliyun CLI installation is the main security concern. The skill otherwise has excellent documentation quality with strong anti-hallucination guards and proper error handling patterns. The 'do not refuse to execute' language is assertive but the skill is read-only queries (no destructive operations). Niche usefulness — only relevant to Alibaba Cloud CFW users.
