Alibaba Cloud SLS Index Configuration Manager#

Scenario Description#

Use this skill for SLS Logstore index configuration.

This file only covers trigger-time setup, routing, and cross-scenario safety. Read only the reference document needed for the user's request.

---

Prerequisites#

Install Aliyun CLI#

Run aliyun version to verify the version is >= 3.3.8. If not installed or outdated, follow references/cli-installation-guide.md to install or update.

Ensure AI Mode Enabled#

Before executing any SLS API commands, enable AI-Mode, set User-Agent, and update plugins:

bash

aliyun configure ai-mode enable
aliyun configure ai-mode set-user-agent --user-agent "AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-sls-index-config-management"
aliyun plugin update

Check Alibaba Cloud credentials configured#

Run aliyun configure list to check if credentials are configured. If no valid profile is shown, STOP here and ask the user to run aliyun configure outside of this session.

Security rules:

• NEVER read, echo, or print AK/SK values
• NEVER ask the user to paste AK/SK into the conversation
• ONLY use aliyun configure list to check credential status

---

RAM Permission Requirements#

On Unauthorized error, surface references/ram-policies.md to the user. Do not retry with a different account without explicit confirmation.

---

Routing the Request#

After environment and credential checks, classify the user's request and follow the matching reference:

If the user wants to …Go toView / create / update / delete an index, or change a single field, TTL, max_text_len, full-text on-off, log_reduce, etc.references/manage-index-config.mdBuild an index for a Logstore that has none, or rebuild from scratch using user-provided structured log samplesreferences/generate-index-from-logs.mdAdjust an existing index to support a new query / SQL, reduce cost, or improve write throughputreferences/optimize-index-config.md

Mixed requests are common (e.g. "generate an index for these logs and then update it on Logstore X"). Read the relevant scenario docs in order.

---

Global Rules#

• No writes without the scenario reference. Before any write operation, read the relevant reference document and follow its confirmation, full-body, rollback, and timing rules.
• Use exact SLS CLI names. Product is sls; subcommands and flags are kebab-case. Use references/acceptance-criteria.md only when validating command shape or debugging CLI invocation issues.

Output Format#

Every time you present an index configuration to the user — whether from a read ( get-index), after a write ( create-index / update-index), or during generation/optimization — output both:

1. Complete JSON — the full get-index JSON response (or the equivalent JSON body you are about to submit for a write). Wrap it in a fenced json code block so the user can copy-paste it directly.
2. Human-readable summary

Put the Complete JSON first, then the summary. The summary helps the user understand the config at a glance; the JSON is the authoritative, machine-readable reference they can use for scripting, version control, or future update-index calls.

---

Cleanup#

Whether operations succeed or fail, you MUST disable AI-Mode before ending the session:

bash

aliyun configure ai-mode disable
