Cloud Transfer

Use this skill for deterministic file transfer/sync tasks where reproducibility and verification matter.

Prerequisites

• explicit source path, destination path, and sync mode (copy vs sync)
• approved credential source (never commit secrets)
• retention/overwrite expectations

Workflow

1. Validate rclone config and destination.
2. Run upload/sync with explicit source/target.
3. Verify transfer integrity and resulting URLs/paths.
4. Produce a concise transfer manifest (what moved, where, and checksum/size summary).

Rails Touchpoints

When transfer scope includes Rails artifacts:

• treat storage/ and user-uploaded blobs as sensitive data
• preserve environment boundaries (do not mix staging/prod datasets)
• include migration/backfill artifact references when transfer supports release rollout

Context Discipline

• Load provider docs only for the active target backend; do not preload every provider reference.
