Alibaba Cloud RDS Copilot Intelligent Operations Assistant

This skill serves as an **intelligent agent for Alibaba Cloud RDS Copilot** in conversations, helping users with RDS-related intelligent Q&A, SQL optimization, instance operations, and troubleshooting.

Scenario Description

**Architecture**: `Alibaba Cloud CLI + RdsAi OpenAPI`

Main features:

• **Understand user's natural language requests** (Chinese or English), identify if related to RDS Copilot
• **Directly call Alibaba Cloud CLI** to execute `aliyun rdsai chat-messages` command for real-time RDS Copilot queries
• When receiving results or user-pasted error messages, **further explain, diagnose, and provide recommendations**

Agent Execution Contract

Before calling RDS Copilot, the agent must make the local environment ready by itself whenever command execution is available. Do not ask the user to install CLI or plugins first if the agent can install or upgrade them directly. If install or upgrade needs network access, sudo, or tool approval, request that approval with the concrete command and continue after approval.

**Hard gate**: Do not execute `aliyun rdsai chat-messages` until all readiness checks pass:

1. Alibaba Cloud CLI exists and `aliyun version` is >= `3.3.3`. 2. Plugin auto-install is enabled and the `rdsai` product plugin/command is available. 3. Alibaba Cloud CLI credentials are configured and the selected profile is valid.

If any gate fails:

• Missing or old CLI: install or upgrade Alibaba Cloud CLI, then re-run `aliyun version`.
• Missing `rdsai` plugin: enable plugin auto-install and install or trigger installation of `rdsai`, then re-check the command.
• Missing/invalid credentials: stop before the RDS Copilot API call and guide the user to configure credentials. If the user asks the agent to configure them, request only the required fields, then configure through `aliyun configure`; never ask the user to paste secrets into environment variables.

**Default region**: If the user does not explicitly provide a region, always use `cn-hangzhou`. Natural language "Hangzhou" maps to `cn-hangzhou`. Keep this default in both `--inputs RegionId=cn-hangzhou` and any credential setup guidance unless the user specifies another region.

Installation

> **Agent preflight: Alibaba Cloud CLI must be installed or installed by the agent** > > This skill uses Alibaba Cloud CLI to call RdsAi OpenAPI. The agent must first check whether the CLI is present and usable. If the CLI is missing and command execution is available, install it before asking the user to take manual action.

**Pre-check: Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.3 required** > Run `command -v aliyun` and `aliyun version` to verify >= 3.3.3. > If not installed or version is too low, install or update it before proceeding. > CLI versions below 3.3.0 do not support the `aliyun plugin` command; upgrade the CLI first instead of running plugin commands repeatedly.

**Pre-check: Aliyun CLI plugin update required** > [MUST] run `aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true` to enable automatic plugin installation. > [MUST] verify the `rdsai` plugin capability with `aliyun plugin list`, `aliyun plugin search rdsai`, or `aliyun rdsai --help`. > [MUST] if `rdsai` is not installed, run `aliyun plugin install --names rdsai` and re-check. > [MUST] run `aliyun plugin update --name rdsai` when the plugin is already installed; if the CLI only supports `aliyun plugin update`, use that and continue.

**[MUST] CLI User-Agent** — Every `aliyun rdsai chat-messages` invocation must include a per-command `--user-agent` value in this format: `AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-rds-copilot/{session-id}`. See the Observability section for session-id generation rules. The auxiliary `aliyun rdsai get-chat-model` command, when used, follows the same User-Agent rule. Do not pass `--user-agent` to system commands such as `aliyun configure`, `aliyun plugin`, `aliyun version`, or install/upgrade commands.

macOS Installation

# Option 1: Install via Homebrew (recommended)
brew install aliyun-cli

# Option 2: Install via PKG package
curl -O https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/aliyun-cli-latest.pkg
sudo installer -pkg aliyun-cli-latest.pkg -target /

# Option 3: Install via one-click script
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/install.sh)"

Linux Installation

# Install via one-click script
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/install.sh)"

# Or download TGZ package for manual installation
curl https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/aliyun-cli-linux-latest-amd64.tgz -o aliyun-cli.tgz
tar xzvf aliyun-cli.tgz
sudo mv aliyun /usr/local/bin/

Verify Installation

command -v aliyun
aliyun version

Credential Configuration

Option 1: Interactive Configuration (Recommended)

aliyun configure --mode AK --profile rdsai

Follow the prompts to enter:

• **Access Key Id**: Your AccessKey ID
• **Access Key Secret**: Your AccessKey Secret
• **Default Region Id**: cn-hangzhou unless the user specifies another region

Before asking the user for secrets, explain that the recommended interactive command keeps the secret inside Alibaba Cloud CLI's credential store. Do not print or store the secret in chat history longer than needed.

Option 2: Non-interactive Configuration

aliyun configure set \
  --profile rdsai \
  --mode AK \
  --access-key-id <yourAccessKeyID> \
  --access-key-secret <yourAccessKeySecret> \
  --region cn-hangzhou
