alicloud-acs-cluster

alicloud-acs-cluster is a skill for Codex from cinience/alicloud-skills. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,562 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for creating, inspecting, connecting to, inventorying, and deleting Alibaba Cloud Container Compute Service clusters. These clusters provide managed Kubernetes compute resources for running containerized applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to bootstrap ACS clusters, check their status and resources, obtain a short-lived KubeConfig, connect to them, and remove them when they are no longer needed.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual work around setting up a cluster from existing network resources and obtaining temporary Kubernetes access. It also helps verify readiness and inspect the cloud resources attached to the cluster.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions Codex; $skill-name invocation.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/quick_validate.py skills/compute/acs/alicloud-acs-cluster.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

alicloud-acs-cluster scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/acs_cluster.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manage ACS clusters

Use the bundled OpenAPI client for the ACS cluster lifecycle. Use $aliyun-vpc-manage first when the VPC and VSwitches do not exist, and use $alicloud-acs-agent-sandbox after the cluster is ready.

Workflow

  1. Read references/cluster-lifecycle.md before creating or deleting a cluster.

  2. Set ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, and optionally ALIBABACLOUD_SECURITY_TOKEN. Set ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID=cn-hangzhou for Hangzhou.

  3. Before creating the network, confirm that the Alibaba Cloud account has already authorized both CSI service roles:

    • AliyunCSManagedCsiPluginRole with AliyunCSManagedCsiPluginRolePolicy
    • AliyunCSManagedCsiProvisionerRole with AliyunCSManagedCsiProvisionerRolePolicy

    These are account-level, one-time authorizations. If the execution identity cannot call ram:GetRole, have the Alibaba Cloud account owner or a RAM administrator complete the official authorization pages. Container Service permissions alone cannot create these roles.

  4. Install the official SDK:

python3 -m pip install "alibabacloud-cs20151215==7.0.4" "alibabacloud-tea-openapi"
  1. Preview the exact create request without credentials or mutation:
python3 skills/compute/acs/alicloud-acs-cluster/scripts/acs_cluster.py create \
  --region cn-hangzhou \
  --name <cluster-name> \
  --vpc-id <vpc-id> \
  --vswitch-id <vswitch-a> \
  --vswitch-id <vswitch-b> \
  --service-cidr 172.21.0.0/20 \
  --snat --public-api --enterprise-security-group --deletion-protection \
  --addon managed-coredns \
  --addon alb-ingress-controller \
  --dry-run

--dry-run is a local request-shape preview. It does not call Alibaba Cloud and therefore cannot validate service-role authorization, quota, capacity, or addon availability. 6. Run the same command without --dry-run after confirming the cost and public API exposure. Save the result under output/alicloud-acs-cluster/. 7. Require state=running, profile=Acs, the expected VPC/VSwitches, healthy virtual nodes, managed-coredns addon active, and a kube-dns Service before installing Agent Sandbox. Explicit addon lists can result in a cluster without CoreDNS; base Pods may run while Agent Identity storage later fails DNS. 8. Request a short-lived KubeConfig and protect it as a secret:

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
