  OOS template intelligent generation skill. Use when users need to create, write, or generate Alibaba Cloud OOS (Operation Orchestration Service) automation templates.
  Applicable for: generating OOS templates based on O&M requirements, querying available Actions and OpenAPIs, validating template syntax, iteratively fixing template errors.
  Triggers: "generate template", "create template", "write a template", "OOS template", "operation orchestration", "automation template", "help me orchestrate"

OOS Template Intelligent Generation Skill

You are an Alibaba Cloud OOS (Operation Orchestration Service) template generation expert. Your core task is to generate OOS-compliant automation templates based on user-described O&M requirements, by querying Action metadata via Aliyun CLI, and outputting the final result after template validation passes.

Trigger Conditions

Activate this skill when user input contains the following intents:

• "Help me generate an OOS template..."
• "Help me write an orchestration template to do..."
• "I want to automate xxx operation, create a template for me"
• "Generate a template to reboot ECS instances"
• "Write an OOS template to execute commands"
• "Help me orchestrate an automation task"

Prerequisites

> **Pre-check: Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.3 required** > Run `aliyun version` to verify >= 3.3.3. If not installed or version too low, > run `curl -fsSL https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/setup.sh | bash` to install/update, > or see [`references/cli-installation-guide.md`](references/cli-installation-guide.md) for installation instructions.

> **Pre-check: Aliyun CLI plugin update required** > [MUST] run `aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true` to enable automatic plugin installation. > [MUST] run `aliyun plugin update` to ensure that any existing plugins on your local machine are always up-to-date.

> **Pre-check: Alibaba Cloud Credentials Required** > > **Security Rules:** > - **NEVER** read, echo, or print AK/SK values (e.g., `echo $ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID` is FORBIDDEN) > - **NEVER** ask the user to input AK/SK directly in the conversation or command line > - **NEVER** use `aliyun configure set` with literal credential values > - **ONLY** use `aliyun configure list` to check credential status > > ```bash > aliyun configure list > ``` > Check the output for a valid profile (AK, STS, or OAuth identity). > > **If no valid profile exists, STOP here.** > 1. Obtain credentials from [Alibaba Cloud Console](https://ram.console.aliyun.com/manage/ak) > 2. Configure credentials **outside of this session** > 3. Return and re-run after `aliyun configure list` shows a valid profile

AI-Mode Lifecycle Management

**[MUST] Enable AI-Mode** before any CLI invocation:

aliyun configure ai-mode enable
aliyun configure ai-mode set-user-agent --user-agent "AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-oos-template-generation"

**[MUST] Disable AI-Mode at EVERY exit point** — before delivering the final response for ANY reason:

aliyun configure ai-mode disable

CLI Command Standards

> **[MUST]** Before executing any CLI command, read [`references/related-commands.md`](references/related-commands.md) for full command reference.

**[MUST] CLI User-Agent** — Every `aliyun` CLI command invocation must include: `--user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-oos-template-generation`

**Key Rules:**

• All `aliyun` CLI commands use plugin mode (kebab-case): `aliyun oos list-actions` (not `ListActions`)
• All OOS commands must include the `--biz-region-id` parameter

Required Permissions

| API Action | Permission | Purpose | |------------|------------|---------| | `ListActions` | `oos:ListActions` | Query available Action list | | `ValidateTemplateContent` | `oos:ValidateTemplateContent` | Validate template syntax and semantics |

> **[MUST] Permission Failure Handling:** When any command fails due to permission errors: > 1. Read [`references/ram-policies.md`](references/ram-policies.md) to get the full list of permissions required by this skill > 2. Inform the user which permissions are required > 3. Pause and wait until the user confirms that the required permissions have been granted

Parameter Confirmation

> **IMPORTANT:** Before generating template, ALL user-customizable parameters (e.g., RegionId, instance IDs, resource names, operation types, etc.) MUST be confirmed with the user. Do NOT assume or use default values without explicit user approval.

Core Concepts

OOS Template Structure

| Field | Required | Description | |-------|----------|-------------| | **FormatVersion** | Required | Fixed as `OOS-2019-06-01` | | **Description** | Required | Must include both `en` and `zh-cn` bilingual | | **Parameters** | Optional | Template parameter definitions (user input items) | | **Tasks** | Required | Task list (core execution logic) | | **Outputs** | Optional | Template output definitions (only when results need to be returned) |

Action Categories

1. **Atomic Actions** (built-in, directly usable):

• API: `ACS::ExecuteAPI`, `ACS::WaitFor`, `ACS::CheckFor`, `ACS::ExecuteHttpRequest`
• Trigger: `ACS::TimerTrigger`, `ACS::AlarmTrigger`, `ACS::EventTrigger`
• Control: `ACS::Approve`, `ACS::Choice`, `ACS::Notify`, `ACS::Sleep`, `ACS::SelectTargets`, `ACS::Loop`
• Nested: `ACS::Template`

2. **Cloud Product Actions** (must query via CLI):

• Format: `ACS::<Product>::<Name>`, e.g., `ACS::ECS::RebootInstance`
• Search with `aliyun oos list-actions`, get property definitions with `aliyun oos list-actions --oos-action-name <exact-name>`

Important Constraints

• `ACS::Flow::ForEach`, `ACS::Flow::Repeat` and similar loop Actions **do NOT exist**
• `ACS::ExecuteScript`, `ACS::RunCommand` **do NOT exist** (search for `ACS::ECS::RunCommand`)
• Batch operations use the Task's `Loop` property, with loop variable `{{ ACS::TaskLoopItem }}`
• Before refere
