| description | CloudBase CLI (tcb, 云开发CLI, Tencent CloudBase命令行) resource management skill. Use when deploying cloud functions, CloudRun, storage, NoSQL/MySQL, static hosting, permissions, CORS/domains via tcb; for CI/CD and batch ops; when the user prefers CLI; or as the first-session fallback when CloudBase MCP tools are not loaded yet (after install/config, before IDE restart). Covers tcb login (device code for Tencent Cloud accounts; --cloudbase-api-key -e for environment API Key without an account; --apiKeyId/--apiKey for CI) and domain commands (fn/hosting/cloudrun/…) as MCP auth/manage parity — do not default to tcb deploy. |

CloudBase CLI
Manage CloudBase resources via tcb CLI — deterministic, scriptable, auditable.
Primary interface for CI/CD and batch ops; also the first-session fallback when MCP tools are not yet available in the conversation.
Sibling skills (local only)
Sibling CloudBase skills ship beside this skill. Use local relative paths such as ../auth-tool-cloudbase/SKILL.md.
If a referenced sibling skill file is missing from this environment, ask the user to install the full CloudBase plugin (or the missing skill). Do not HTTP-fetch remote skill or protocol markdown into the agent context.
Cross-cutting protocols (required before code changes or deployments):
- Change Safety Protocol:
../cloudbase-platform/references/protocols/change-safety-protocol.md
- Deployment Gate:
../cloudbase-platform/references/protocols/deployment-gate.md
- MCP vs CLI fallback:
../cloudbase/references/tooling-fallback.md (packaged beside this skill as the cloudbase entry guideline)
Core Principles
-
--help first — never guess commands.
tcb CLI changes between versions. Before using any command for the first time,
run tcb <command> --help to check parameters and discover official doc links.
-
Deployment Gate.
Before any deployment, publish, custom domain, or CloudRun operation, you must first complete the checks in cloudbase-platform/references/protocols/deployment-gate.md.
-
Verify your work.
After deploying or modifying any resource, run the corresponding list/detail
command to confirm the change took effect.
-
Dry-run before destructive actions.
Use --dry-run for delete/overwrite operations. Show the preview to the user
and wait for explicit confirmation before executing.
-
Confirm environment first.
Always verify envId with the user before operations. Run tcb env use <envId>
to avoid accidentally modifying production.
-
Recover from errors, don't loop.
If a command fails after 2-3 attempts, check the exit code ($?), read the
error message, consult tcb docs search, and try a different approach.
-
First-session fallback, not MCP replacement.
If CloudBase MCP tools are missing in this session, use this skill to unblock
login/manage. Still configure MCP (plugin / mcp.json) so the next session
can prefer MCP. When MCP tools are already available, prefer MCP unless the
user asked for CLI/CI. Route deploy work through the domain reference table
below — do not recommend tcb deploy.
-
No npm/npx.
If Node/npm/npx are missing, tell the user to install Node.js LTS (or use the
IDE marketplace MCP path) before retrying CLI/plugin install. See guideline
tooling-fallback.md.
When to use this skill
Use when the user wants to manage CloudBase resources via command line, or when MCP is not usable yet:
- First session / post-install: MCP not in the tool list, or just configured and needs restart →
tcb login + the matching domain command now; leave MCP ready for next session
- Deploy/debug cloud functions, static hosting, CloudRun services (via domain refs — not
tcb deploy)
- Manage storage, hosting, databases (NoSQL/MySQL)
- Configure permissions, CORS, domains, routing
- CI/CD scripting, batch operations, terminal-based resource management
- User explicitly prefers CLI over MCP
Do NOT use for
- SDK-based in-app integration (web/miniprogram/node) → use
cloud-functions,
cloudbase-document-database-web-sdk, auth-web-cloudbase, etc.
- When CloudBase MCP tools are already available in this session and the user did not ask for CLI → prefer MCP
- Console UI operations
- CloudBase Agent SDK development → use
cloudbase-agent-ts
How to use this skill (for a coding agent)
- Always load
references/core.md first — it covers authentication,
environment switching, tcb docs queries, and error diagnosis.
- Route to the correct domain reference using the Routing table below.
- Load only the one reference file that matches the user's task.
Do not preload all references.
- Stop loading more context once you have the workflow and command
syntax for the current task.
- If the task shifts to SDK/in-app code, switch to the appropriate
SDK skill (e.g.,
cloud-functions, cloudbase-document-database-web-sdk) instead.
Routing
| User Task | Read |
|---|
| Login, env switching, tcb docs, error diagnosis | references/core.md |
| Deploy/debug cloud functions | references/functions.md |
| Deploy static site / SPA (preferred CLI web path) | references/hosting.md |
| Deploy CloudRun service | references/cloudrun.md |
Experimental all-in-one web shorthand (tcb deploy) — avoid unless user explicitly asks | references/app.md |
| Upload/download files, ACL rules | references/storage.md |
| NoSQL (MongoDB) database operations | references/nosql.md |
| MySQL database operations | references/mysql.md |
| Roles, policies, access control | references/permission.md |
| CORS, custom domains, routing rules | references/access.md |
Quick workflow
tcb login → confirm envId with user → tcb env use <envId>tcb <command> --help to verify syntax- Execute the command (with
--dry-run for destructive ops)
- Verify the result with the corresponding
list / detail command
- Report the outcome to the user
