  • 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.

  • 7 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by huaweicloud on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills/tree/master/skills/computing/flexus-l/huawei-cloud-flexus-l-server-scripts-excute
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

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/huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills.git /tmp/huaweicloud-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/huaweicloud-skills/skills/computing/flexus-l/huawei-cloud-flexus-l-server-scripts-excute .claude/skills/huawei-cloud-flexus-l-server-scripts-excute
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute 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 Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute 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 Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute 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.

⚠️ Security Execution Rules (Highest Priority):

  1. All scripts MUST be executed via skill action=exec, NEVER run directly in shell
  2. NEVER print script contents or commands containing AK/SK/Token in conversation
  3. NEVER create temporary script files, prefer inline execution (python -c)
  4. On execution failure, only return error info, do NOT rewrite scripts or print full commands
  5. AK/SK/Token MUST be passed via environment variables, NEVER appear in conversation
  6. ABSOLUTELY NEVER expose, log, or print AK/SK/Token values in any form - this is a critical security requirement
  7. Credentials are resolved in priority order: environment variables (HW_ACCESS_KEY, HW_SECRET_KEY, HW_SECURITY_TOKEN, HW_REGION) -> command-line args -> interactive prompt. Prefer environment variables; do NOT pass AK/SK as command-line arguments.

Huawei Cloud Flexus L Instance COC Skill

Overview

Architecture Diagram

This skill is built on Huawei Cloud COC (Cloud Operations Center) service, involving the following cloud services and components:

User/Agent    │──────▶│   COC API   │──────▶│   UniAgent    │──────▶│  Flexus L Instance│
(Skill caller)       (Cloud Ops Center)       (Proxy program)              (Target Host) 

Component Description:

  • User/Agent: Skill caller that triggers script management operations via natural language or API
  • COC API: Huawei Cloud COC (Cloud Operations Center) provides core capabilities including script management, execution scheduling, and status query
  • UniAgent: Agent program deployed on target hosts, responsible for receiving scripts and executing them locally
  • Flexus L Instance: Huawei Cloud Elastic Cloud Server, serving as the target host for script execution

Applicable Scenarios

  • Batch Operations: Execute the same script on multiple Flexus L instances (e.g., software installation, configuration updates)
  • Automated Operations: Periodically execute inspection scripts, log collection, health checks
  • Emergency Response: Quickly deploy emergency scripts to handle security incidents or system failures
  • Application Deployment: Batch deploy applications and update configuration files
  • Data Processing: Execute data processing tasks in parallel across multiple instances

Typical Use Cases

  1. "Create a Shell script to clean server logs"
  2. "Execute backup script on all L instances"
  3. "List my recently created scripts"
  4. "Execute Python script on specified L instance"
  5. "Create a script to batch install Nginx"

Trigger Keywords

Routing Keywords: COC script, script management, script execution, cloud operations, custom script, batch execution; COC, script management, script execution, cloud operations.

Important Notes

All scripts and environment check scripts are inside the skill package. You must use skill action=exec to execute them; do not run them directly in the shell.

Prerequisites

CLI Version Requirements and Verification Commands

COC SDK Version Requirement: huaweicloudsdkcoc >= 3.1.0

Verification Commands:

bash
# Check current SDK version
python -c "import huaweicloudsdkcoc; print(huaweicloudsdkcoc.__version__)"

# Verify COC client availability
python -c "from huaweicloudsdkcoc.v1 import CocClient; print('COC SDK version verification passed')"

Authentication Configuration and Security Rules

Supported Authentication Methods:

  1. Credential Acquisition Methods:

    This skill supports obtaining Huawei Cloud credentials through the following methods (in order of priority from high to low):

    1. Environment Variables (highest priority)
      • HW_ACCESS_KEY: Huawei Cloud Access Key AK
      • HW_SECRET_KEY: Huawei Cloud Access Key SK
      • HW_SECURITY_TOKEN: Security token for temporary credentials
    2. Command Line Parameters (used when environment variables are not provided)
      • --ak: Huawei Cloud Access Key AK
      • --sk: Huawei Cloud Access Key SK
      • --security-token: Security token for temporary credentials (required when using temporary AK/SK)
    3. Interactive Input (when neither of the above methods are provided)
    • The program will prompt the user to input credential information such as AK/SK
bash
# Execute script directly (will automatically use environment variables)
python {baseDir}/scripts/caller.py create --name "test_script" --type SHELL --content "echo hello" --description "Test script"
  1. Environment Variables (recommended):
bash
export HW_ACCESS_KEY="your_access_key"
export HW_SECRET_KEY="***"
# Optional for temporary credentials:
export HW_SECURITY_TOKEN="your_security_token"
export HW_REGION="cn-north-4"

# Run without --ak/--sk; credentials are read from environment variables
python {baseDir}/scripts/caller.py create --name "test_script" --type SHELL --content "echo hello" --description "Test script"

⚠️ Security note: Passing AK/SK via --ak "..." --sk "..." on the command line exposes the credentials in the process list (e.g. ps aux). Only do this in a trusted, single-user environment; prefer environment variables or hcloud configure.

  1. Interactive Input (Testing):
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/caller.py create
# Will prompt for AK/SK/region

Authentication Parameter Description:

ParameterDescriptionRequiredDefaultExample
--akHuawei Cloud Access Key AK (can be temporary AK)Yes*Prompted--ak AXXX...
--skHuawei Cloud Access Key SK (can be temporary SK)Yes*Prompted--sk SXXX...
--security-tokenSecurity token for temporary credentials (required when using temporary AK/SK)NoPrompted--security-token XXXX...
--regionCOC Service RegionNocn-north-4--region cn-north-4

Note: Parameters marked with * can be provided via environment variables (HW_ACCESS_KEY, HW_SECRET_KEY, HW_SECURITY_TOKEN, HW_REGION). If environment variables are set, they take priority over command line parameters.

Authentication Priority:

  1. First check environment variables: HW_ACCESS_KEY, HW_SECRET_KEY, HW_SECURITY_TOKEN, HW_REGION
  2. If all required environment variables are set, use them directly
  3. If environment variables are not set, use command line parameters
  4. If neither is provided, prompt for interactive input

Security Rules:

  • No Hardcoded Credentials: Never embed AK/SK directly in code or configuration files
  • Principle of Least Privilege: Grant only the minimum permissions required
  • Regular Key Rotation: Rotate AK/SK every 90 days
  • Enable Key Rotation Alerts: Set up expiration reminders in Huawei Cloud Console

IAM Permissions List

This skill requires the following IAM permissions. For detailed information, refer to IAM Policies Documentation:

Permission CategoryPermission NameDescription
Script Managementcoc:script:createCreate script
Script Managementcoc:script:listList scripts
Script Managementcoc:script:getGet script details
Script Managementcoc:script:updateUpdate script
Script Managementcoc:script:deleteDelete script
Execution Managementcoc:execution:createCreate execution task
Execution Managementcoc:execution:listList execution tasks
Execution Managementcoc:execution:getGet execution details
Instance Managementcoc:instance:listList target instances

Permission Failure Handling Flow

Insufficient Permission Error Handling:

  1. Error Identification:
bash
# Typical error message
error: AccessDenied
message: You do not have permission to perform this action.
  1. Troubleshooting Steps:

    • Verify AK/SK configuration
    • Confirm user has required COC permissions
    • Validate region configuration
    • Check if IAM policy is active
  2. Resolution:

    • Contact administrator for required permissions
    • Confirm IAM policy is properly attached to user/role
    • Wait for policy to take effect (typically 5-10 minutes)
  3. Verification:

bash
# Re-execute to verify permissions
python {baseDir}/scripts/caller.py list

SDK Installation

Before creating or executing scripts for the first time, ensure the Huawei Cloud COC SDK dependencies are installed. Run from the skill directory (skills/coc):

bash
pip install -r {baseDir}/requirements.txt

Installation Notes:

  • Installation may take a few minutes, please be patient
  • After successful installation, you can call the Python code in the scripts directory for script creation and execution
  • Use the following mirrors to install the SDK (second pip mirror, preferred):
    bash
    pip install -r {baseDir}/requirements.txt -i https://pypi.org/project/huaweicloudsdkcoc/
    or
    bash
    pip install -r {baseDir}/requirements.txt -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple/

Installation Verification:

bash
python -c "from huaweicloudsdkcoc.v1 import CocClient; print('SDK installed successfully!')"

Workflow

Basic Workflow

  1. Create a script (using environment variables):
bash
# Set environment variables first
export HW_ACCESS_KEY="your_ak"
export HW_SECRET_KEY="your_sk"
export HW_SECURITY_TOKEN="your_token"  # Optional

# Execute command (will automatically use environment variables)
python {baseDir}/scripts/caller.py create --name "test_script" --type SHELL --content "echo hello" --description "Test script"
  1. Execute a script:
bash
export HW_ACCESS_KEY="your_ak"
export HW_SECRET_KEY="your_sk"
export HW_SECURITY_TOKEN="your_token"  # Optional

python {baseDir}/scripts/caller.py execute --script-uuid "SC202xxxxxxxx13701c4a8a62" --execute-user root --timeout 300 --success-rate 100

⚠️ Never pass AK/SK via --ak "..." --sk "..." command line arguments; they become visible in the process list (e.g. ps aux). Always prefer environment variables or hcloud configure.

Tip: Refer to the "Parameter Reference" section for complete parameter documentation.

Interactive Mode

When executing scripts, the following information will be requested interactively (L-instance only):

Required Parameters:

  • L-instance resource ID (resource_id)
  • L-instance region (region_id)

Optional Parameters (press Enter to use default values):

  • Script UUID (default uses the most recently created script)
  • Execute user (default root)
  • Timeout (default 300 seconds)

  • PROCESSING/READY - In progress

Validation Methods

1. SDK Installation Verification

bash
python -c "from huaweicloudsdkcoc.v1 import CocClient; print('SDK installed successfully!')"

2. Create Script Verification

bash
export HW_ACCESS_KEY="your_ak"
export HW_SECRET_KEY="your_sk"

python {baseDir}/scripts/caller.py create --name "test_script" --type SHELL --content "echo hello" --description "Test script" --non-interactive
# Expected output: Script UUID returned

3. Execute Script Verification

bash
export HW_ACCESS_KEY="your_ak"
export HW_SECRET_KEY="your_sk"

python {baseDir}/scripts/caller.py execute --script-uuid "SC202xxxxxxxx13701c4a8a62" --execute-user root --timeout 300 --non-interactive
# Expected output: Execution task ID returned

4. Smoke Test

bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/smoke_test.py
# This will test the configuration and optional API connectivity

Notes

General Notes

  • Script execution required parameters - Need to provide L-instance resource_id and region_id
  • Script UUID auto-retrieval - If not specified, will automatically use the most recently created script
  • Script type must match - SHELL/PYTHON/BAT
  • Risk level must be set correctly - LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH
  • Execution results need polling - Execute API returns task ID, need to query execution status separately

Best Practices

Script Management Best Practices

  1. Script Reusability: Create generic scripts with configurable parameters for maximum reusability
  2. Error Handling: Always include error handling and logging in your scripts
  3. Idempotency: Design scripts to be idempotent (can be safely run multiple times)
  4. Script Versioning: Maintain version control for important scripts
  5. Resource Tagging: Use consistent naming conventions and tags for scripts

Execution Best Practices

  1. Test First: Always test scripts on a single L-instance before batch execution
  2. Risk Assessment: Set appropriate risk levels for scripts (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH)
  3. Scheduling: Use scheduled execution for periodic tasks
  4. Monitoring: Monitor execution results and set up alerts for failures

Region Concepts

COC involves two different region concepts:

1. COC Service Region (API endpoint region):

  • cn-north-4 (China North-Beijing-4, default)
  • ap-southeast-3 (APAC-Singapore)
  • eu-west-101 (Europe-Frankfurt)

2. Target Instance Region (where the L-instance is located):

  • Can be any Huawei Cloud global region
  • Interactive input supports both region ID and region name

Important: COC service region and target instance region can be different.

Error Handling

Authentication Failed (403):

error: Authentication failed
  • AK/SK is invalid, reconfigure with correct credentials

API Quota Exceeded (429):

error: API quota exceeded
  • API quota exhausted, wait or upgrade

Parameter Error (400):

error: Invalid parameter
  • Check if request parameters are correct

Security Notes

  • AK/SK Security: AK/SK are important credentials for accessing Huawei Cloud APIs. Please keep them safe and do not share them with others.
  • Credential Obtaining: Log in to Huawei Cloud Management Console → My Credentials → Access Keys → New Access Key

Frequently asked questions

What does the Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute AI skill do?

Based on Huawei Cloud COC (Cloud Operations Center) APIs for script management and remote execution. Supports creating custom scripts (Shell, Python, Bat) and batch execution on target host instances via UniAgent. Applicable to cloud operations automation and batch script deployment scenarios. Trigger keywords: L-instance, COC script, script management, script execution, cloud operations, custom script, batch execution; COC, script management, script execution, cloud operations (中文触发词:L实例执行脚本).

Why use Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute 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 Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills/tree/master/skills/computing/flexus-l/huawei-cloud-flexus-l-server-scripts-excute. 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 Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute?

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 Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Huawei Cloud Flexus L Server Scripts Excute AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by huaweicloud 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.
