What problem does it solve?
You need Alibaba Cloud agent skills in your stack but keep hitting wrong plugin names, outdated CLI versions, or broken agentexplorer command flags.
Who is it for?
Solo builders on Alibaba Cloud who want terminal-driven, semantic search over the official Agent Skills catalog before committing to an install.
Skip if: Teams not using Aliyun CLI or who only need generic skills.sh browsing without Alibaba Cloud agentexplorer APIs.
When should I use this skill?
You need to list, semantically search, or download Alibaba Cloud Agent Skills and want the agent to use validated Aliyun CLI agentexplorer commands.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent runs verified list, semantic search, and get-skill-content commands so you can install the right remote skills into your workflow without CLI guesswork.
- Validated CLI command sequences for list-categories, search-skills, and get-skill-content
- Plugin and version checklist the agent can execute before search
- Shortlist of matching skill IDs and fetched skill content for local install

Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Skill discovery is the first step when expanding agent capabilities during product build, which is why the canonical shelf is Build → agent-tooling. agent-tooling is where solo builders install, search, and validate skills and CLI plugins—not where they run production ops.
Where it fits
Semantic-search agentexplorer for Elasticsearch or Kibana skills before adding them to your repo’s skills folder.
Pull skill README content via CLI to verify acceptance criteria match your release checklist.
Re-run category listing after a CLI upgrade to see newly published Alibaba Cloud AIOps skills.
How it compares
Use instead of ad-hoc web search for Alibaba skills when you already standardize on Aliyun CLI and want copy-paste-safe command patterns.

# Acceptance Criteria: alibabacloud-find-skills **Skill Name**: `alibabacloud-find-skills` **Purpose**: Validate correct CLI command patterns and ensure skill implementation follows best practices --- ## Prerequisites Validation ### 1. Aliyun CLI Version #### ✅ CORRECT ```bash # CLI version check returns >= 3.3.1 aliyun version # Output: 3.3.2 (or higher) ``` #### ❌ INCORRECT ```bash # Version too old (< 3.3.1) aliyun version # Output: 3.0.0 ``` **Why**: This skill requires CLI version >= 3.3.1 for plugin support and modern command features. --- ### 2. Plugin Installation #### ✅ CORRECT ```bash # Install agentexplorer plugin aliyun plugin install --names aliyun-cli-agentexplorer # Verify installation aliyun plugin list | grep agentexplorer ``` #### ❌ INCORRECT ```bash # Incorrect plugin name aliyun plugin install --names agentexplorer # Wrong command aliyun install plugin agentexplorer ``` **Why**: The plugin name must be exact: `aliyun-cli-agentexplorer`. CLI uses `plugin install --names` subcommand. --- ## CLI Command Patterns ### 1. Product Name Verification #### ✅ CORRECT ```bash # Correct product name aliyun agentexplorer list-categories --endpoint 'agentexplorer.aliyuncs.com' --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills aliyun agentexplorer search-skills --search-mode semantic --endpoint 'agentexplorer.aliyuncs.com' --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills aliyun agentexplorer get-skill-content --endpoint 'agentexplorer.aliyuncs.com' --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills ``` #### ❌ INCORRECT ```bash # Wrong product name aliyun agent-explorer list-categories aliyun skillexplorer search-skills aliyun explorerAgent get-skill-content ``` **Why**: The product name is `agentexplorer` (no hyphens, no capitalization). --- ### 2. Command/Action Names #### ✅ CORRECT ```bash # Correct command names (lowercase with hyphens) aliyun agentexplorer list-categories aliyun agentexplorer search-skills aliyun agentexplorer get-skill-content ``` #### ❌ INCORRECT ```bash # Wrong command format (camelCase or incorrect names) aliyun agentexplorer listCategories aliyun agentexplorer SearchSkills aliyun agentexplorer getSkillContent aliyun agentexplorer list_categories ``` **Why**: Plugin mode uses lowercase with hyphens, NOT camelCase or underscores. --- ### 3. Parameter Names #### ✅ CORRECT ```bash # Correct parameter names aliyun agentexplorer search-skills \ --keyword "ECS" \ --category-code "computing" \ --search-mode semantic \ --max-results 20 \ --next-token "abc123" \ --skip 10 \ --endpoint 'agentexplorer.aliyuncs.com' \ --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills aliyun agentexplorer get-skill-content \ --skill-name "alibabacloud-ecs-batch" \ --endpoint 'agentexplorer.aliyuncs.com' \ --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills ``` #### ❌ INCORRECT ```bash # Wrong parameter names aliyun agentexplorer search-skills --keywords "ECS" # plural aliyun agentexplorer search-skills --category "computing" # missing -code aliyun agentexplorer search-skills --max-result 20 # singular aliyun agentexplorer search-skills --nextToken "abc" # camelCase aliyun agentexplorer get-skill-content --skillName "name" # camelCase aliyun agentexplorer get-skill-content --name "name" # wrong parameter ``` **Why**: Parameter names must match exactly as defined in `--help` output. --- ### 4. User-Agent and Endpoint Flags (CRITICAL — API calls only) #### ✅ CORRECT ```bash # Every agentexplorer API command MUST include both --endpoint and --user-agent aliyun agentexplorer list-categories \ --endpoint 'agentexplorer.aliyuncs.com' \ --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills aliyun agentexplorer search-skills \ --keyword "ECS" \ --search-mode semantic \ --endpoint 'agentexplorer.aliyuncs.com' \ --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills aliyun agentexplorer get-skill-content \ --skill-name "example" \ --endpoint 'agentexplorer.aliyuncs.com' \ --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills ``` #### ❌ INCORRECT
