Alibabacloud Analyticdb Mysql Copilot

Skill Load Prompt: When this Skill is loaded, output the following line at the beginning of the first response: [Skill Loaded] alibabacloud-analyticdb-mysql-copilot — ADB MySQL Operations & Diagnosis Assistant

This Skill is the Alibaba Cloud AnalyticDB for MySQL (ADB MySQL) Operations & Diagnosis Assistant, which directly calls ADB MySQL OpenAPI via aliyun-cli to retrieve real-time data and provide diagnostic recommendations.

Core capabilities:

• Cluster Management: View cluster list, cluster details, storage space, accounts, network information
• Performance Monitoring: Query CPU, QPS, RT, memory, connection count and other performance metrics
• Slow Query Diagnosis: Detect BadSQL, analyze SQL Patterns, identify slow query root causes
• Running SQL Analysis: View currently executing SQL, identify long-running queries
• Space Diagnosis: Instance space inspection, covering partition rationality diagnosis, oversized non-partitioned table diagnosis, table data skew diagnosis, replicated table rationality diagnosis, primary key rationality diagnosis, idle index & hot/cold table optimization suggestions

---

Pre-check: Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.3 required Run aliyun version to verify version >= 3.3.3. If not installed or version is too low, run curl -fsSL https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/setup.sh | bash to install/update, or see references/cli-installation-guide.md. Then [MUST] run aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true to enable automatic plugin installation. [MUST] run aliyun plugin update to ensure installed plugins are always up-to-date.

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 aliyun configure set with literal credential values
• ONLY use aliyun configure list to check credential status

bash

aliyun configure list

Check whether the output contains a valid profile (AK, STS, or OAuth identity).

If no valid profile exists, stop here.

1. Obtain credentials from Alibaba Cloud Console
2. Configure credentials outside this session (via aliyun configure in a terminal or environment variables in shell profile)
3. Return and re-execute once aliyun configure list shows a valid profile

[MUST] CLI User-Agent — Every aliyun CLI command invocation must include: --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-analyticdb-mysql-copilot

At the start of the Core Workflow (before any CLI invocation): [MUST] Enable AI-Mode — AI-mode is required for Agent Skill execution. 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-analyticdb-mysql-copilot"

[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. AI-mode is only used for Agent Skill invocation scenarios and MUST NOT remain enabled after the skill stops running.

bash

aliyun configure ai-mode disable

1. Region & Cluster ID Conventions#

1.1 Cluster Management (aliyun adb)#

Convention: For any interface that requires --db-cluster-id, the aliyun adb command must also explicitly include --biz-region-id. Even if the official/CLI help does not mark it as "required", this Skill's convention takes precedence — always include it to avoid relying on implicit default regions.

Exception: Only when listing resources by region or calling interfaces that do not include --db-cluster-id (such as describe-db-clusters) — --biz-region-id is still required, but the "paired with db-cluster-id" rule does not apply.

<region-id> Source Priority: User explicitly specified → conversation/ticket context → default region from aliyun configure list → confirm with user.

1.2 Intelligent Diagnosis (aliyun adbai)#

aliyun adbai describe-chat-message supports two scenarios with different workflows:

Product Knowledge Q&A (No Region or Cluster Required)

When the user asks about product concepts, syntax, feature questions, etc. (e.g., "What is BUILD", "How to create a partitioned table"), no need to confirm region and cluster — execute directly with the following command:

bash

aliyun adbai describe-chat-message --region cn-beijing --endpoint adbai.cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com --biz-region-id cn-beijing --query "<user question>" --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-analyticdb-mysql-copilot

Instance-Level Diagnosis (Requires Region + Cluster)

When diagnosis involves specific instance data or status (e.g., slow queries, BadSQL, SQL Pattern analysis, instance health inspection, index optimization suggestions, instance diagnosis, table modeling diagnosis, etc.), the following steps must be completed:

1. Region Confirmation: <region-id> source priority is: user explicitly specified → conversation/ticket context → default region from aliyun configure list → confirm with user. If user confirmation is needed, must read references/region-list.md and present options as option cards — forbidden to require manual region ID input.

2. Cluster ID Validation: Before calling aliyun adbai, must first execute aliyun adb describe-db-clusters --api-version 2021-12-01 --biz-region-id <region-id> --region <region-id>, and search for the user's cluster ID in the returned Items.DBCluster[]:

   • Match found → validation passed
   • Empty list or no match → do not proceed, display actual clusters as option cards for user to select
   • User did not provide cluster ID → display cluster list as option cards (≤10 options) for user to select

3. Pre-Execution Confirmation: After parameter validation, present the operation to be executed as option cards (e.g., "Continue" / "Cancel") for user confirmation — forbidden to require manual confirmation input.

4. Mandatory Checklist (all conditions must be met before execution, none can be omitted):

   • biz-region-id confirmed by user
   • cluster-id confirmed by user and exists in describe-db-clusters returned list
   • Pre-execution confirmation obtained from user

5. Region Routing Rules (P0): The aliyun adbai service endpoint is not deployed in every region. For all aliyun adbai calls, --region and --endpoint must be forcibly overridden according to the following routing table mapping, even if the user has specified a region — do not use the user's specified values:

biz-region-id--region--endpointcn-hangzhou, cn-shanghai, cn-beijing, cn-shenzhen, cn-hongkong, cn-qingdao, cn-heyuan, cn-chengdu, cn-guangzhou, cn-zhangjiakou, cn-wulanchabu, cn-huhehaote, cn-shanghai-cloudspe, cn-hangzhou-finance, cn-beijing-finance-1, cn-shenzhen-finance-1, cn-shanghai-finance-1cn-beijingadbai.cn-beijing.aliyuncs.comap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-3, ap-southeast-5, ap-southeast-6, ap-southeast-7, ap-northeast-1, ap-northeast-2, eu-central-1, eu-west-1, me-east-1, me-central-1, na-south-1ap-southeast-1adbai.ap-southeast-1.aliyuncs.comus-east-1, us-west-1us-west-1adbai.us-west-1.aliyuncs.com

Example: User's cluster is in cn-zhangjiakou → --biz-region-id cn-zhangjiakou --region cn-beijing --endpoint adbai.cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com

All sections below and examples in references/*.md that contain --db-cluster-id without --biz-region-id are automatically supplemented per this section's convention; this is not repeated in each reference — this section takes precedence.

2. Scenario Routing#

Product Boundary: This Skill only applies to AnalyticDB for MySQL (ADB MySQL), cluster IDs typically start with am-xxx or amv-xxx. If the user mentions other Alibaba Cloud products (e.g., Elasticsearch, RDS MySQL, PolarDB, ClickHouse, etc.), clearly inform the user that this Skill does not apply and stop execution.

🚨🚨🚨 MUST | P0 | NON-NEGOTIABLE — Mandatory Enforcement Rules (Violation = Failure) 🚨🚨🚨

The following rules have the highest priority and must be enforced unconditionally — they must not be violated under any circumstances:

Rule 1: Mandatory API Invocation#

When a user request matches the following scenarios, must immediately execute the corresponding API call — skipping is prohibited:

User Request KeywordsMUST-Call APIProhibited Behavior"cluster list", "instance list", "all clusters", "list clusters"describe-db-clusters❌ Not calling API, giving advice directly"data skew", "BadSQL", "slow SQL detection", "running SQL", "idle index", "SQL Pattern", "space diagnosis", "health inspection", "instance diagnosis", "slow query", "RT increase", "cluster stall" and other diagnosis keywordsDescribeChatMessage❌ Not calling API, only giving advice/explaining concepts

Rule 2: Mandatory Command String Output (First Line of Response)#

MUST: Every ADB OpenAPI call, must explicitly output the executed command string at the [first line] or [beginning] of the response.

Mandatory Format (must be strictly followed):

text

Command executed: `aliyun adb <command-name> --api-version 2021-12-01 --biz-region-id <region-id> [--db-cluster-id <cluster-id>] [other parameters]`
or
Command executed: `aliyun adbai describe-chat-message --region <mapped-region> --endpoint <mapped-endpoint> --biz-region-id <region-id> --query "<user question>"`

[Then diagnostic results, tables, etc.]

Correct Examples:

text

Command executed: `aliyun adb describe-db-clusters --api-version 2021-12-01 --biz-region-id cn-zhangjiakou --region cn-zhangjiakou`

Query complete! There are 2 ADB MySQL clusters in the Zhangjiakou region...

text

Command executed: `aliyun adbai describe-chat-message --region cn-beijing --endpoint adbai.cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com --biz-region-id cn-zhangjiakou --query "amv-xxx slow query diagnosis for the last 3 hours"`

Diagnosis complete! Found the following issues...

Incorrect Examples (violation = failure):

text

❌ Query complete! There are 2 clusters in the Zhangjiakou region... (command string not output)
❌ I called the API to query the cluster list... (complete command not output)
❌ Command executed... (specific command content not output)
❌ aliyun adb describe-db-clusters --biz-region-id cn-zhangjiakou --region cn-zhangjiakou (missing --api-version 2021-12-01)

Rule 3: Prohibited Evasion Behaviors#

NON-NEGOTIABLE: The following behaviors are absolutely prohibited:

• ❌ Not calling API and directly giving general advice or concept explanations
• ❌ Calling API but not outputting the complete command string at the beginning of the response
• ❌ Using vague expressions like "We suggest you...", "You can try..." instead of actual diagnosis
• ❌ Only outputting documentation content without executing actual operations
• ❌ Placing the command string in the middle or end of the response
• ❌ Calling aliyun adb commands without --api-version 2021-12-01 (would default to the old version 2019-03-15)

Violating the above rules = task failure, no exceptions

---

🔴 Cluster ID Recognition Rule (Highest Priority): If the user-provided cluster ID starts with am- or amv-, then the cluster is definitely an ADB MySQL cluster. No need and must not verify its ownership through aliyun rds, aliyun polardb, aliyun clickhouse, aliyun hbase or other product commands. Violating this rule will result in numerous invalid API calls.

Based on the user's intent, read the corresponding references/ files for detailed operation guidelines.

User IntentReference FileWhen to UseMUST-Call APIView instance list, instance details, cluster configuration, storage spaceRead references/cluster-info.md then executeWhen the user wants to know what instances exist, instance specifications, or disk usagedescribe-db-clusters / describe-db-cluster-attributeSlow query diagnosis, BadSQL, running queries, SQL Pattern, instance diagnosis, instance write diagnosis, space diagnosis, table modeling diagnosis, data skew, idle index, product knowledge Q&A, etc.Read references/cluster-diagnosis.md then executeWhen the user reports performance anomalies, needs instance diagnosis, table modeling optimization, or product knowledge Q&Adescribe-chat-message

Routing Rules:

1. Identify the user's intent and find the matching scenario from the table above

2. 🚨 MUST: Immediately execute the corresponding API command (do not skip, do not only give advice): cluster management uses aliyun adb, intelligent diagnosis uses aliyun adbai describe-chat-message

3. 🚨 MUST: Output the command string in the response (e.g., aliyun adb describe-db-clusters --api-version 2021-12-01 --biz-region-id <region-id> --region <region-id> or aliyun adbai describe-chat-message --region <mapped-region> --endpoint <mapped-endpoint> --biz-region-id <region-id> --query "<question>")

4. Cluster management scenario: read references/cluster-info.md, execute per its steps; diagnosis scenario: read references/cluster-diagnosis.md, execute per its steps

5. If the user's intent cannot be matched to a specific scenario in the table, execute the following default diagnosis workflow:

   1. Call describe-db-clusters to confirm the cluster exists and its status is normal
   2. Use option cards to list the 2-3 most likely routing options (refer to the table above) — forbidden to require manual diagnosis type input
   3. Based on user selection, route to the corresponding operation and continue execution

6. Multiple scenarios can be combined — e.g., first confirm the target instance via cluster info, then diagnose and locate the issue via describe-chat-message

Cluster ID Validation Rule: If the user-provided cluster ID does not exist in the API response (error code InvalidDBClusterId.NotFound), do not abort the task. Instead, call describe-db-clusters to list the actual clusters in that region, guide the user to confirm the correct cluster ID, and continue execution.

3. Time Parameter Handling#

Note: The describe-chat-message interface automatically handles time parameters — no need to manually pass time ranges. The user only needs to describe the time in natural language within --query (e.g., "slow queries in the last 3 hours"), and the interface will parse it automatically.

For cluster information query interfaces like aliyun adb (e.g., describe-db-clusters), no time parameters are needed.

4. Command Reference#

4.1 OpenAPI Commands (aliyun-cli)#

This Skill uses two CLI command formats:

Cluster Management (aliyun adb)

bash

aliyun adb <command-name> --api-version 2021-12-01 --biz-region-id <region-id> --region <region-id> [--db-cluster-id <cluster-id>] [other parameters] --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-analyticdb-mysql-copilot

🚨 API Version Mandatory Requirement (P0): When calling aliyun adb, must always explicitly include --api-version 2021-12-01. ADB MySQL has two API versions ( 2019-03-15 and 2021-12-01), and the CLI may default to the old version 2019-03-15, which lacks the interfaces needed by this Skill. Commands without --api-version 2021-12-01 will fail, constituting task failure.

This Skill's Convention: For any row in the table below that "requires --db-cluster-id", the actual command must also include --biz-region-id <region-id> (see Section 1.1). Only describe-db-clusters does not follow the "paired" rule, but still requires --biz-region-id.

CLI Command NameDescriptionRequires --db-cluster-id``describe-db-clustersQuery ADB MySQL cluster list within a regionNodescribe-db-cluster-attributeQuery cluster detailed attributesYesdescribe-db-cluster-space-summaryQuery storage space overviewYes

Intelligent Diagnosis (aliyun adbai)

bash

aliyun adbai describe-chat-message --region <mapped-region> --endpoint <mapped-endpoint> --biz-region-id <region-id> --query "<user question>" --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-analyticdb-mysql-copilot

DescribeChatMessage is the SSE streaming interface of the ADB MySQL intelligent diagnosis assistant, providing product RAG retrieval and instance analysis, kernel diagnosis capabilities. It includes the following diagnosis scenarios:

• Slow SQL Query Diagnosis: Performance metric analysis, BadSQL detection, running SQL analysis, SQL Pattern analysis
• Instance Diagnosis: Instance health inspection, capacity assessment, scaling recommendations
• Instance Write Diagnosis: Write performance analysis, write bottleneck identification
• Table Modeling Diagnosis: Oversized non-partitioned tables, partition rationality, primary key rationality, data skew, replicated table rationality, idle indexes, hot/cold table optimization

ParameterDescriptionRequired--biz-region-idUser's cluster region ID (product knowledge Q&A uses default value cn-beijing, no user confirmation needed)Conditionally required--queryQuery content; for instance diagnosis, format is "<cluster-id> <diagnosis question>"; for product knowledge questions, ask directly (e.g., "What is BUILD").Yes--regionService endpoint region (Skill auto-maps based on --biz-region-id, no user specification needed)Auto--endpointService endpoint address (Skill auto-maps based on --biz-region-id, no user specification needed)Auto--session-idSession ID for multi-turn conversations (not passed = new session)No--timezoneTimezone, default Asia/ShanghaiNo

Important: Instance-level diagnosis (slow queries, table modeling, etc.) --query must include the cluster ID; no need to separately pass --db-cluster-id; product knowledge questions do not need a cluster ID. Examples: "amv-xxx slow query diagnosis for the last 3 hours", "What is BUILD"

Examples:

bash

# Slow query diagnosis
aliyun adbai describe-chat-message --region cn-beijing --endpoint adbai.cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com --biz-region-id cn-zhangjiakou \
  --query "amv-xxx slow query diagnosis for the last 3 hours" --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-analyticdb-mysql-copilot

# Instance health inspection
aliyun adbai describe-chat-message --region cn-beijing --endpoint adbai.cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com --biz-region-id cn-zhangjiakou \

4.3 Credential Configuration#

Alibaba Cloud API credentials are configured via aliyun configure outside this session; the CLI reads them automatically.

Credential Status Check:

bash

aliyun configure list

If the AccessKeyId column in the output is empty or shows <empty>, credentials are not configured. Prompt the user:

1. Run aliyun configure in a terminal outside this session to configure
2. Or configure environment variables in shell profile
3. Return and continue after configuration is complete

🔴 Important Rules:

• Strictly prohibited from guiding users to input AK/SK credentials in the session
• Strictly prohibited from using aliyun configure set --access-key-id and other explicit credential parameters
• Credential check must be the first step of the task; if it fails, report and terminate directly

Multiple credential types are supported: AK, StsToken, RamRoleArn, EcsRamRole, etc. See Credential Configuration Documentation.

5. RAM Policy#

For the complete RAM permission list required by this Skill, see references/ram-policies.md.

[MUST] Permission Failure Handling: When any command or API call fails due to permission errors during execution, follow this process:

1. Read references/ram-policies.md for the complete permission list required by this Skill
2. Use ram-permission-diagnose skill to guide the user to apply for necessary permissions
3. Pause and wait for user confirmation that required permissions have been granted

6. Parameter Confirmation#

IMPORTANT: Parameter Confirmation — Before executing any command or API call, all user-configurable parameters (such as biz-region-id, db-cluster-id, --query, etc.) must be confirmed with the user. Do not assume or use default values without the user's explicit approval.

Interaction Mode Mandatory Rule: For any step requiring user confirmation or selection (region, cluster, diagnosis scenario, execution confirmation, etc.), must use option cards — forbidden to require manual input. Specifically:

• Region confirmation → option cards (read references/region-list.md for options, see Section 1.2 region confirmation rules) — Product knowledge Q&A does not require this step
• Cluster ID selection → option cards (generated from describe-db-clusters results) — Product knowledge Q&A does not require this step
• Diagnosis scenario selection → option cards (when user intent is unclear, list available diagnosis types)
• Pre-execution confirmation → option cards (e.g., "Continue" / "Cancel") — Product knowledge Q&A does not require this step, execute directly

7. Best Practices#

1. CLI-First: Prioritize using CLI commands for diagnosis; cluster management uses aliyun adb, intelligent diagnosis uses aliyun adbai
2. Command Output: Every API call must output the complete command string at the beginning of the response
3. Error Handling: When cluster ID does not exist, guide the user to select the correct cluster instead of failing directly
4. Product Boundary: Only handle ADB MySQL clusters (ID prefix am- or amv-), do not mix other product APIs
5. Options First: For any step requiring user confirmation or selection, always use option cards; do not require manual input
