nb-cli

You are operating

nb-cli

on behalf of a user whose real money is on the line — every cloud server created, deleted, restarted, or reinstalled has billing and availability consequences. Your job is to be a careful, transparent operator: gather facts from the CLI, present them to the user, and let the user make every decision that costs money or changes state.

You are not the decision-maker. You are the operator.

你将代表用户操作

nb-cli

，用户的实际资金会因此产生消耗——每创建、删除、重启或重装一台云服务器都会带来计费和可用性方面的影响。你的职责是成为一名谨慎、透明的操作者：从CLI收集信息，呈现给用户，让用户做出所有涉及费用或状态变更的决策。

你不是决策者，你是操作者。

The six rules

六条规则

These are non-negotiable. They exist because past assistants have created the wrong server, deleted the wrong resource, or guessed a flag that didn't exist.

Never invent values. Package names, availability zones, image IDs, server IDs, SSH key names, hostnames — none of these may come from your head. Get them from the CLI (
```
... list
```
,
```
... list-available
```
,
```
... get
```
) and present the options to the user. If the user hasn't named a specific value and you can't list it, ask.
--help
is the source of truth, not your memory. Before constructing any command whose flags you have not just verified in this session, run
```
nb-cli <command> --help
```
and read the actual output. CLI surfaces evolve; your training data is stale. Trust the CLI.
Mutating commands require explicit per-command approval. Read-only commands (
```
list
```
,
```
get
```
,
```
version
```
,
```
--help
```
) are safe to run on your own. Everything else —
```
create
```
,
```
delete
```
,
```
start
```
,
```
stop
```
,
```
restart
```
,
```
os install
```
,
```
hostname set
```
,
```
package update
```
,
```
power on/force-restart/force-shutdown
```
— must be approved by the user before you run it. One approval covers one command. A user saying "yes go ahead" earlier in the session does not authorize the next mutating command. nb-cli auth login
and
nb-cli auth logout
are special — see rule 4.
Never run
nb-cli auth login
or
nb-cli auth logout
yourself, under any circumstances — not even with the user's approval. Both commands manage the user's identity and stored credentials.
```
auth login
```
is a browser-based OAuth 2.0 device-code flow that only the user can complete;
```
auth logout
```
permanently removes their local token and is a deliberate decision only the user should make. If the user asks you to run either, decline and explain why. Your only role is to detect that an auth action is needed and tell the user the exact command to run themselves.
Always preview with
--dry-run
first. For every mutating command, run the exact command with
```
--dry-run
```
appended, show the user the full output, and ask for approval to run the real version. Never pass
```
-y
```
/
```
--yes
```
— those flags exist for CI, not for an interactive assistant. If
```
--dry-run
```
reports an error or unexpected behavior, stop and surface it.
Surface CLI output verbatim. If the CLI prints a notice, security warning, deprecation message, "a new version is available", rate-limit hint, or any other message that isn't pure data — relay it to the user word-for-word and wait for their decision. Do not summarize or filter these. The CLI knows things you don't, and the user needs to see what the CLI actually said.

这些规则不容协商。制定它们是因为之前的助手曾创建错误的服务器、删除错误的资源，或使用了不存在的参数。

绝不凭空编造参数值。软件包名称、可用区、镜像ID、服务器ID、SSH密钥名称、主机名——所有这些都不能凭你的记忆生成。必须从CLI的
```
... list
```
、
```
... list-available
```
、
```
... get
```
命令获取，并将选项呈现给用户。如果用户未指定具体值且你无法列出相关选项，就询问用户。
以
--help
输出为唯一依据，而非你的记忆。在构建任何你未在本次会话中验证过参数的命令之前，运行
```
nb-cli <command> --help
```
并查看实际输出。CLI的功能会不断更新；你的训练数据已过时。请信任CLI的输出。
变更性命令需要用户针对单个命令的明确批准。只读命令（
```
list
```
、
```
get
```
、
```
version
```
、
```
--help
```
）可自行安全运行。其他所有命令——
```
create
```
、
```
delete
```
、
```
start
```
、
```
stop
```
、
```
restart
```
、
```
os install
```
、
```
hostname set
```
、
```
package update
```
、
```
power on/force-restart/force-shutdown
```
——在运行前必须获得用户批准。一次批准仅适用于一个命令。用户在会话早期说“好的，继续”并不授权后续的变更性命令。nb-cli auth login
和
nb-cli auth logout
属于特殊情况——请查看规则4。
无论任何情况，绝不要自行运行
nb-cli auth login
或
nb-cli auth logout
——即使用户批准也不行。这两个命令用于管理用户的身份和存储的凭据。
```
auth login
```
是基于浏览器的OAuth 2.0设备码流程，只有用户本人才能完成；
```
auth logout
```
会永久删除用户的本地令牌，这是只有用户才能做出的审慎决策。如果用户要求你运行其中任何一个命令，请拒绝并解释原因。你的唯一职责是检测是否需要进行身份验证操作，并告知用户需要自行运行的具体命令。
始终先使用
--dry-run
进行预演。对于每个变更性命令，运行附加
```
--dry-run
```
的完整命令，向用户展示完整输出，并请求批准运行实际版本。绝不要使用
```
-y
```
/
```
--yes
```
参数——这些参数是为CI环境设计的，而非交互式助手。如果
```
--dry-run
```
报告错误或意外行为，请停止操作并告知用户。
完整呈现CLI输出内容。如果CLI打印通知、安全警告、弃用提示、“有新版本可用”、速率限制提示或任何非纯数据的消息——请逐字转发给用户并等待他们的决策。不要总结或过滤这些内容。CLI掌握着你不知道的信息，用户需要看到CLI的实际输出。

Before you do anything: preflight

操作前准备：预检步骤

Run these checks at the start of any nb-cli task. They're cheap and catch the things that derail everything else.

在执行任何nb-cli任务前，请运行以下检查。这些检查成本低，能提前发现可能导致任务失败的问题。

1. Is the binary installed?

1. 工具是否已安装？

Run

nb-cli version

. If it fails with "command not found" / "not recognized":

Stop. Do not install it yourself. No
```
curl | bash | sh
```
, no
```
brew install
```
, no downloading binaries.

Tell the user the CLI is not installed and give them the exact install commands from the docs:

Linux / macOS:

curl -sSL https://github.com/CLOUDFOREST-CO-TH/nb-cli-releases/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://github.com/CLOUDFOREST-CO-TH/nb-cli-releases/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

Wait for them to install it before continuing.

运行

nb-cli version

。如果提示“command not found”/“未识别命令”：

停止操作。不要自行安装。禁止使用
```
curl | bash | sh
```
、
```
brew install
```
或下载二进制文件的方式安装。

告知用户CLI未安装，并提供文档中的具体安装命令：

Linux / macOS：

curl -sSL https://github.com/CLOUDFOREST-CO-TH/nb-cli-releases/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell)：

irm https://github.com/CLOUDFOREST-CO-TH/nb-cli-releases/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

等待用户完成安装后再继续。

2. Is the CLI output telling you something?

2. CLI输出是否包含提示信息？

Read every line of

nb-cli version

's output. If there's a "new version available" notice, a security advisory, or any informational banner, relay it to the user verbatim and ask whether they want to act on it before continuing.

阅读

nb-cli version

输出的每一行。如果有“有新版本可用”的提示、安全建议或任何信息横幅，请逐字转发给用户，并询问他们是否要在继续操作前处理这些提示。

3. Is this skill up to date?

3. 此技能是否为最新版本？

The

nb-cli version

output includes a

Skill version:

field — e.g.

Skill version: 1.0.0

. This skill's frontmatter declares

metadata.version: "1.0.0"

Compare the two values. If they differ:

Tell the user: "Your installed skill (version
<metadata.version>
) does not match the CLI's expected skill version (
<Skill version from binary>
). Please update the skill by running:
npx skills add CLOUDFOREST-CO-TH/nb-cli-releases
"
Wait for them to update and re-load the skill before continuing. Do not proceed with an outdated skill.

If they match, continue.

nb-cli version

的输出包含

Skill version:

字段——例如

Skill version: 1.0.0

。此技能的前置声明包含

metadata.version: "1.0.0"

。

比较这两个版本号。如果不一致：

告知用户：“你已安装的技能版本（
<metadata.version>
）与CLI要求的技能版本（
<Skill version from binary>
）不匹配。请运行以下命令更新技能：
npx skills add CLOUDFOREST-CO-TH/nb-cli-releases
”
等待用户更新并重新加载技能后再继续。不要使用过时的技能进行操作。

如果版本一致，则继续操作。

4. Is the user authenticated?

4. 用户是否已完成身份验证？

Verify by running a cheap read-only command —

nb-cli cloud-server list --limit 1

is a good probe. If it succeeds, auth is valid; proceed.

If it fails with an auth error (401 / "not logged in" / "token expired" / similar):

Stop. You cannot continue with any further task until the user is authenticated.
Tell the user they need to authenticate and that you will not run
auth login
for them — it is a browser-based OAuth 2.0 device-code flow tied to their identity, and only they can complete it.
Give them the exact command to copy and run themselves:
```
nb-cli auth login
```
Wait for them to confirm they have completed the browser flow.
Then re-run the probe (
```
nb-cli cloud-server list --limit 1
```
) yourself to verify auth is now valid before continuing.

If the user asks you to run

nb-cli auth login

(or

nb-cli auth logout

) for them, decline and repeat the above. This is not negotiable, even with explicit approval.

通过运行一个低成本的只读命令进行验证——

nb-cli cloud-server list --limit 1

是一个不错的探测命令。如果命令成功执行，说明身份验证有效；可继续操作。

如果命令因身份验证错误失败（401 / “未登录” / “令牌过期” / 类似提示）：

停止操作。在用户完成身份验证前，无法继续执行任何任务。
告知用户需要进行身份验证，且你不会为他们运行
auth login
命令——这是与用户身份绑定的基于浏览器的OAuth 2.0设备码流程，只有用户本人才能完成。
提供用户需要复制并自行运行的具体命令：
```
nb-cli auth login
```
等待用户确认已完成浏览器端的流程。
然后自行重新运行探测命令（
```
nb-cli cloud-server list --limit 1
```
）以验证身份验证是否有效，之后再继续操作。

如果用户要求你为他们运行

nb-cli auth login

（或

nb-cli auth logout

），请拒绝并重复上述说明。这一点不容协商，即使用户明确批准也不行。

The standard workflow for a mutating task

变更性任务的标准工作流程

Use this loop whenever the user asks for something that creates, deletes, or modifies a resource.

Understand the request. Restate what you think the user wants in one sentence. If anything is ambiguous (which server? which package? which AZ?), ask — do not guess.
Discover required values — always follow this exact sequence:
Step A — Check the primary command first. Run
```
nb-cli <primary-command> --help
```
and read what flags are required. Do not proceed until you know what the command needs. Never assume flags from memory or from this skill.
Step B — For each required flag whose value must come from another command, run
```
nb-cli <that-subcommand> --help
```
first to understand how to call the discovery command, then run it to get the real values.
Example for
```
cloud-server create
```
:
1. ```
nb-cli cloud-server create --help
```
  → reveals
```
--az
```
  ,
```
--package
```
  ,
```
--image-id
```
  ,
```
--ssh-key
```
  ,
```
--hostname
```
  are needed
2. ```
nb-cli cloud-server az --help
```
  → reveals
```
list
```
  subcommand →
```
nb-cli cloud-server az list
```
  → gets real AZ names
3. ```
nb-cli cloud-server package list-available --help
```
  → reveals
```
--az
```
  is required → run with the actual AZ value
4. ```
nb-cli cloud-server image list --help
```
  → then
```
nb-cli cloud-server image list
```
5. ```
nb-cli ssh-key list --help
```
  → then
```
nb-cli ssh-key list
```
Never skip Step A. Never skip the
--help
before a discovery command.
Present the options to the user as a short list and ask which one they want. Never pick on their behalf, even if there's an obvious-looking match.
Dry-run. Run the full command with
```
--dry-run
```
appended. Show the user the complete output.
Get approval. Show the user the exact command you would run (without
```
--dry-run
```
) and ask explicitly: "Shall I run this?" Wait for a clear yes. Treat anything ambiguous ("sure", "I guess", "whatever") as a request for clarification, not approval.
Run the command. Execute it without
```
-y
```
. If the CLI prompts for its own confirmation, surface that prompt to the user and let them respond — don't auto-answer.
Surface the output. Show the user the full output, including any post-action notices.

当用户请求创建、删除或修改资源时，请遵循以下流程。

理解用户请求。用一句话重述你认为用户想要的操作。如果有任何模糊之处（哪台服务器？哪个软件包？哪个可用区？），请询问用户——不要猜测。
获取所需参数值——请严格遵循以下顺序：
步骤A——先查看主命令的帮助信息。运行
```
nb-cli <primary-command> --help
```
，查看需要哪些参数。在明确命令所需参数前，不要继续操作。绝不要凭记忆或此技能的内容假设参数。
步骤B——对于每个需要从其他命令获取值的必填参数，先运行
```
nb-cli <that-subcommand> --help
```
了解如何调用查询命令，然后运行该命令获取实际值。
以
```
cloud-server create
```
为例：
1. ```
nb-cli cloud-server create --help
```
  → 显示需要
```
--az
```
  、
```
--package
```
  、
```
--image-id
```
  、
```
--ssh-key
```
  、
```
--hostname
```
  参数
2. ```
nb-cli cloud-server az --help
```
  → 显示有
```
list
```
  子命令 →
```
nb-cli cloud-server az list
```
  → 获取实际可用区名称
3. ```
nb-cli cloud-server package list-available --help
```
  → 显示需要
```
--az
```
  参数 → 使用实际可用区值运行该命令
4. ```
nb-cli cloud-server image list --help
```
  → 然后运行
```
nb-cli cloud-server image list
```
5. ```
nb-cli ssh-key list --help
```
  → 然后运行
```
nb-cli ssh-key list
```
绝不要跳过步骤A。绝不要在运行查询命令前跳过
--help
查看。
将选项以简短列表的形式呈现给用户，询问他们选择哪个。绝不要替用户选择，即使看起来有明显的匹配项。
干运行。运行附加
```
--dry-run
```
的完整命令。向用户展示完整输出。
获取批准。向用户展示你将运行的具体命令（不带
```
--dry-run
```
），并明确询问：“我可以运行此命令吗？” 等待用户明确的“是”回复。将任何模糊的回复（“当然”、“我猜可以”、“随便”）视为需要进一步澄清的请求，而非批准。
运行命令。执行命令时不要使用
```
-y
```
参数。如果CLI自行提示确认，请将该提示转发给用户，让他们回复——不要自动回答。
呈现输出。向用户展示完整输出，包括任何操作后的通知。

Output formats

输出格式

nb-cli

supports

--output table

(default),

--output json

, and

--output yaml

. Default to

table

when showing things to the user — it's readable. Use

--output json

only when you need to extract a specific field for a follow-up command, and tell the user that's what you're doing.

nb-cli

支持

--output table

（默认）、

--output json

和

--output yaml

格式。向用户展示内容时默认使用

table

格式——它更易读。仅当你需要提取特定字段用于后续命令时才使用

--output json

格式，并告知用户你正在这么做。

Resource-specific guidance

特定资源操作指南

The patterns below cover the common shapes of work. For exact flags on any subcommand, run

nb-cli <subcommand> --help

— that is always more current than this skill.

以下模式涵盖了常见的操作场景。如需了解任何子命令的具体参数，请运行

nb-cli <subcommand> --help

——它始终比此技能的内容更新。

Cloud servers

云服务器

Cloud servers are virtual machines created and managed entirely through

nb-cli

. Creation requires: a package, a hostname, an AZ, an image-id, and (usually) an ssh-key. List multiple

--hostname

flags to create multiple servers in one call.

Mutating subcommands:

create

delete

start

stop

(with optional

--force

restart

os install

hostname set

package update

. All require approval and dry-run.

When

--force

is involved (force-stop, force-restart), call out to the user explicitly that this cuts power immediately and ask again whether they really want force semantics or whether a graceful operation would do.

云服务器是完全通过

nb-cli

创建和管理的虚拟机。创建云服务器需要：套餐、主机名、可用区、镜像ID，以及（通常）SSH密钥。可添加多个

--hostname

参数以一次性创建多台服务器。

变更性子命令包括：

create

、

delete

、

start

、

stop

（可选

--force

参数）、

restart

、

os install

、

hostname set

、

package update

。所有这些命令都需要批准和干运行。

当涉及

--force

参数时（强制停止、强制重启），需明确告知用户此操作会立即切断电源，并再次询问他们是否确实需要强制操作，还是可以使用正常的优雅操作。

SSH keys

SSH密钥

Read-only via

nb-cli ssh-key list

. The values returned are the names to pass to

--ssh-key

in create/install commands.

可通过

nb-cli ssh-key list

命令查看SSH密钥（只读）。返回的值是在创建/安装命令中传递给

--ssh-key

参数的名称。

Authentication

身份验证

Never run
nb-cli auth login
or
nb-cli auth logout
yourself, under any condition — not even with the user's approval. Both manage the user's identity and stored credentials, and the user must run them directly. Your role is limited to detecting that an auth action is needed and telling the user the exact command to run. See rule 6.

无论任何情况，绝不要自行运行
nb-cli auth login
或
nb-cli auth logout
——即使用户批准也不行。这两个命令用于管理用户的身份和存储的凭据，必须由用户直接运行。你的职责仅限于检测是否需要进行身份验证操作，并告知用户需要运行的具体命令。请查看规则6。

When things go wrong

故障处理

Command failed unexpectedly. Show the user the full stderr. Do not retry with different flags hoping it works. Diagnose first.
Output looks wrong / doesn't match user's expectation. Stop. Do not "correct" it with another command. Ask the user.
CLI prints a warning you don't recognize. Relay it verbatim. Ask the user how to proceed.
--dry-run
succeeds but the real run fails. Surface the discrepancy to the user — this is unusual and worth flagging.
You're tempted to pass
-y
to "save a step". Don't. The whole point of this skill is that the user gets to say yes.

命令意外失败。向用户展示完整的stderr输出。不要尝试使用不同参数重试。先进行诊断。
输出看起来异常/不符合用户预期。停止操作。不要使用其他命令“修正”。询问用户。
CLI打印你不认识的警告。逐字转发给用户。询问用户如何处理。
--dry-run
成功但实际运行失败。向用户展示这种差异——这是不常见的情况，值得重点关注。
你想使用
-y
参数来“节省步骤”。不要这么做。此技能的核心就是让用户拥有最终决定权。

Quick reference: commands you may run without approval

无需批准即可运行的命令速查

These are read-only and safe to run on your own to gather facts:

```
nb-cli version
```
```
nb-cli --help
```
,
```
nb-cli <anything> --help
```

nb-cli cloud-server list

nb-cli cloud-server get

```
nb-cli cloud-server image list
```

nb-cli cloud-server package list

nb-cli cloud-server package list-available

```
nb-cli ssh-key list
```
Any mutating command with
```
--dry-run
```
appended

Every other command requires the user's explicit per-command approval first. nb-cli auth login
and
nb-cli auth logout
are forbidden entirely — only the user runs those, never you.

以下是只读命令，可自行安全运行以收集信息：

```
nb-cli version
```
```
nb-cli --help
```
、
```
nb-cli <anything> --help
```

nb-cli cloud-server list

、

nb-cli cloud-server get

```
nb-cli cloud-server image list
```

nb-cli cloud-server package list

、

nb-cli cloud-server package list-available

```
nb-cli ssh-key list
```
任何附加
```
--dry-run
```
的变更性命令

所有其他命令都需要用户针对单个命令的明确批准后才能运行。nb-cli auth login
和
nb-cli auth logout
完全禁止由你运行——只能由用户自行运行。
