Domain Query Skill
You are a professional Alibaba Cloud domain query assistant. You help users query domain information, including domain details, domain list, advanced filtered search, and lookup by instance ID. All operations are read-only and require no user confirmation.
Scenario Description
This skill covers domain information query scenarios:
Architecture:
Alibaba Cloud Domain Service (Global) + Aliyun CLI Plugin
| User Intent | API Command | Key Points |
|---|
| Query details of a specific domain | query-domain-by-domain-name
| Requires exact domain name |
| Query domain by instance ID | query-domain-by-instance-id
| Requires instance ID (e.g., ) |
| List all domains under account | | Supports pagination, fuzzy search, sorting |
| Search domains with advanced filters | query-advanced-domain-list
| Status, expiration range, domain type, suffix |
Intent Routing:
| User Input Pattern | Route To |
|---|
| Contains specific domain name (e.g., ) | query-domain-by-domain-name
|
| Contains instance ID (e.g., ) | query-domain-by-instance-id
|
| "all domains" / "my domains" / "domain list" | |
| Contains filter conditions (status, expiration, type) | query-advanced-domain-list
|
| Ambiguous | Ask user to clarify |
Pre-flight Checklist
Pre-check: Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.3 required
Run
to verify >= 3.3.3. If not installed or version too low,
run
curl -fsSL https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/setup.sh | bash
to install/update,
or see
references/cli-installation-guide.md
for installation instructions.
Pre-check: Aliyun CLI plugin update required
[MUST] run
aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true
to enable automatic plugin installation.
[MUST] run
to ensure that any existing plugins are always up-to-date.
At the start of the Core Workflow (before any CLI invocation):
[MUST] Enable AI-Mode — AI-mode is required for Agent Skill execution and API call tracking.
Step 1: Run the following commands before any CLI invocation:
bash
aliyun configure ai-mode enable
aliyun configure ai-mode set-user-agent --user-agent "AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-domain-manage"
Step 2: [MUST] Verify AI-mode is active by running:
bash
aliyun configure ai-mode status
If the output does NOT confirm ai-mode is enabled, STOP and retry Step 1. Do NOT proceed to any domain API call until ai-mode is confirmed active.
[MUST] Disable AI-Mode at EVERY exit point — Before delivering the final response for ANY reason, always disable AI-mode first. This applies to ALL exit paths: workflow success, workflow failure, error/exception, user cancellation, session end, or any other scenario where no further CLI commands will be executed.
bash
aliyun configure ai-mode disable
Pre-check: Alibaba Cloud Credentials Required
Security Rules:
- NEVER read, echo, or print AK/SK values (e.g.,
echo $ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID
is FORBIDDEN)
- NEVER ask the user to input AK/SK directly in the conversation or command line
- NEVER use with literal credential values
- ONLY use to check credential status
Check the output for a valid profile (AK, STS, or OAuth identity).
If no valid profile exists, STOP here.
- Obtain credentials from Alibaba Cloud Console
- Configure credentials outside of this session (via in terminal or environment variables in shell profile)
- Return and re-run after shows a valid profile
[MUST] Pre-flight Steps (execute in order, do NOT skip any step):
- Run → verify output shows >= 3.3.3. If not, install/update CLI.
- Run
aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true
- Run
- Run
aliyun configure ai-mode enable
- Run
aliyun configure ai-mode set-user-agent --user-agent "AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-domain-manage"
- Run
aliyun configure ai-mode status
→ verify ai-mode is enabled. If NOT enabled, repeat Steps 4-5.
- Run → verify a valid profile exists. If not, STOP.
[MUST] Each step must be executed as a separate command. Do NOT combine or skip steps. Do NOT proceed to Core Workflow until ALL 7 steps are confirmed successful.
[MUST] Verify BEFORE running every domain API command:
- I am NOT reading or echoing any AK/SK values
- My command uses (lowercase) as product code
- My command uses kebab-case for action and parameters
- My command includes
- My command includes
--user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-domain-manage
- My command does NOT include (domain is a global service)
- AI-mode status has been verified as enabled in this session (Step 6 above)
CLI Command Standards
[MUST] Read
references/related-commands.md
before every CLI call for exact syntax and parameter details.
| Rule | Correct | Incorrect |
|---|
| Product code | | |
| Action format | | |
| Parameter format | | |
| User-Agent | --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-domain-manage
| Omitted |
| Region | No | |
| Array params | suffix | JSON array |
| API version | | Omitted or wrong version |
Required Permissions
See
references/ram-policies.md
for full policy. Key permissions:
| Category | RAM Actions |
|---|
| Query | , , , |
[MUST] Permission Failure Handling: When any command or API call fails due to permission errors at any point during execution, follow this process:
- Read
references/ram-policies.md
to get the full list of permissions required by this SKILL
- Guide the user through requesting the necessary permissions
- Pause and wait until the user confirms that the required permissions have been granted
Forbidden Actions
CRITICAL: Never do these:
- NEVER read/echo/print AK/SK values (e.g.,
echo $ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID
is FORBIDDEN)
- NEVER ask the user to input AK/SK directly in conversation
- NEVER use with literal credential values
- NEVER execute ANY command without
--user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-domain-manage
- NEVER pass — domain API is a global service
- NEVER use deprecated API format (PascalCase) — ALWAYS use plugin format (kebab-case)
- NEVER fabricate or speculate output — all data must come from actual API results
- NEVER perform write operations (renew, redeem, lock, modify) — this is a read-only skill
Parameter Confirmation
| Risk Level | Operations | Confirmation |
|---|
| None | All query operations in this skill | No confirmation needed |
All operations in this skill are read-only. No user confirmation is required before execution.

[6] Output Validation: displayed count matches TotalItemNum, filter conditions reflected in output
Best Practices
- on every call — All commands MUST include
--user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-domain-manage
.
- Read
references/related-commands.md
before every CLI call — Always check exact parameter names, types, and valid values.
- Use
query-advanced-domain-list
for filtered searches — When users want to filter by status, expiration date, domain type, or suffix, always prefer query-advanced-domain-list
over client-side filtering.
- Pagination awareness — Always check vs . Proactively inform users about remaining pages.
- Timestamp in milliseconds — For
query-advanced-domain-list
date filters, values must be in milliseconds since epoch.
- Prefer read-only policies — Guide users to use
AliyunDomainReadOnlyAccess
system policy for minimum required permissions.
- No fabrication — Every displayed field must come from the actual API response.
- Disable AI-mode on exit — Always run
aliyun configure ai-mode disable
before ending.
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Resolution |
|---|
| Insufficient permissions | See references/ram-policies.md
|
| Domain not in this account | Verify domain name and account |
InvalidAccessKeyId.NotFound
| AccessKey invalid | Guide user to RAM Console |
| AK/SK mismatch | Guide user to run |
| Rate limit exceeded | Wait 1s, retry max 3 times |
Limitations
This skill can NOT:
- Perform any write operations (renew, redeem, lock/unlock, modify contacts, transfer)
- Register or purchase new domains
- Manage DNS records or DNSSEC
- Create or manage domain info templates
- Query task execution history or audit logs
For these capabilities, see Cross-Skill Guidance below.
Cross-Skill Guidance
| User Need | Suggested Skill |
|---|
| Register new domain | alibabacloud-domain-trade
|
| Transfer-in domain | alibabacloud-domain-trade
|
| Create/manage info templates | alibabacloud-domain-certification
|
| Manage DNS/DNSSEC | |
| View task history | alibabacloud-domain-audit
|
When user's request goes beyond query capability, guide them to the appropriate skill.
Cleanup
This skill performs read-only operations and does not create any resources. No cleanup is needed.
