aliyun-openapi-discovery

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.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
12 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by cinience on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Aliyun Openapi Discovery AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/cinience/alicloud-skills/tree/main/skills/platform/openapi/aliyun-openapi-discovery
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cinience/alicloud-skills.git /tmp/alicloud-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/alicloud-skills/skills/platform/openapi/aliyun-openapi-discovery .claude/skills/aliyun-openapi-discovery

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aliyun Openapi Discovery in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Aliyun Openapi Discovery on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Aliyun Openapi Discovery is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Alibaba Cloud Product + API Discovery

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

Workflow

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).

Merge product lists

bash
python scripts/merge_product_sources.py

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

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.

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

Join products with API counts

bash
python scripts/join_products_with_api_meta.py

Summarize products by category/group

bash
python scripts/summarize_openapi_meta_products.py

(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.

OpenAPI meta endpoints: see references/openapi-meta.md

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aliyun Openapi Discovery AI skill do?

Why use Aliyun Openapi Discovery on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aliyun Openapi Discovery is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Aliyun Openapi Discovery in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/cinience/alicloud-skills/tree/main/skills/platform/openapi/aliyun-openapi-discovery. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aliyun Openapi Discovery?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Aliyun Openapi Discovery?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Aliyun Openapi Discovery with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Aliyun Openapi Discovery AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by cinience under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
