This is Huawei Cloud's own skill for creating Object Storage Service (OBS) buckets. The agent checks the bucket name against the OBS rules, picks the region, runs hcloud OBS mb with your options, and lists the buckets to confirm. A bundled shell script can create several buckets in one go.

You need the hcloud CLI (3.2.0 or newer) with its built-in obsutil, and OBS credentials set up in your own terminal. SKILL.md says OBS credentials do not inherit from your other Huawei Cloud credentials and must be set separately.

Good for

Developers who need a new OBS bucket and want the name rules checked first
Admins creating several buckets with a shared prefix and a script
Teams that want private buckets by default with the access level set on purpose

Install huawei-cloud-obs-bucket-create

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the huawei-cloud-obs-bucket-create skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

npx skills add huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills --skill huawei-cloud-obs-bucket-create

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

2
Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Node.js.

Install KooCLI first (SKILL.md needs hcloud 3.2.0+; its built-in obsutil means a separate obsutil install can be skipped). The command shown is for Linux and macOS, and Windows steps are in references/cli-installation-guide.md. Then run the credentials command yourself in a terminal and fill in your own key and region. The repo has no plugin manifest, so there is no plugin route.

What it includes: 4 files including SKILL.md (counted from the repo tree): references/cli-installation-guide.md, references/trouble-shooting.md and scripts/batch_create_buckets.sh.
Needs: hcloud (KooCLI) 3.2.0 or newer and OBS credentials configured with hcloud OBS config (SKILL.md)
Works in: The README names no client; it says the skills are "compatible with mainstream AI Agents"

What it includes

Checks the bucket name against the OBS naming rules
Checks 3 to 63 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, "-" and ".", no IP address format, no start or end with "-" or ".", and no adjacent "." or ".-" pairs. A bad name goes back to you.
Try: “Create an OBS bucket called my-team-assets-2026.”
Read · Step 1: validate the name
Uses your region or the endpoint in ~/.obsutilconfig
Takes the region from your request, or from the endpoint in ~/.obsutilconfig when you give none, and reminds you that a bucket region cannot be changed later.
Files · Step 2: pick the region
Runs hcloud OBS mb with your options
Runs hcloud OBS mb obs://<name> with optional -acl (private, public-read, public-read-write), -location, -az multi-az, -sc (standard, warm, cold, deep-archive) and -fs.
Try: “Create a private bucket in cn-north-4 with standard storage.”
Runs code · Step 3: create the bucket
scripts/batch_create_buckets.sh makes several buckets
Creates buckets named <prefix>-<purpose>-<date> from a purpose list. Per the script, buckets with the purposes website or assets get public-read, and the rest get private.
Try: “Create buckets with prefix acme for logs and backup in cn-north-4.”
Runs code · Batch create
Lists buckets and shows the new one
Runs hcloud OBS ls and hcloud OBS stat obs://<name>, then reports the bucket details.
Runs code · Step 4: verify

Permissions

Medium risk

It creates cloud resources with your credentials, and it can create public buckets. Ask for a private bucket unless you mean to publish, and read back the access level at the end.

What it can do

Read your data
Create and change things
Delete things
Read-only mode

Watch out for

It can create public buckets
The create command accepts -acl public-read and public-read-write. The batch script sets public-read for the purposes website and assets. Ask for private unless you mean to publish. github.com
New buckets create a bill and cannot move
SKILL.md says stored data, requests and traffic cost money and the bucket region cannot be changed. Pick the region on purpose. github.com
Your keys sit in the CLI config
SKILL.md says OBS credentials are set with hcloud OBS config and stored in ~/.obsutilconfig. It tells the agent never to print them or pull them from hcloud config files. github.com
The CLI install guide pipes a download into bash
references/cli-installation-guide.md downloads the hcloud installer from a Huawei Cloud OBS address with curl and runs it with bash. Read it before you run it. github.com

Sign-in and keys	OBS keys are stored by hcloud OBS config in ~/.obsutilconfig. SKILL.md says the agent must not print them or extract them from hcloud config files.

Questions

What does huawei-cloud-obs-bucket-create do?

It makes an agent create a Huawei Cloud OBS bucket with hcloud OBS mb after checking the name and region, and it can create several buckets with a bundled script.

Does creating a bucket cost money?

SKILL.md says buckets themselves are free, but storing data, requests and traffic incur costs. A bucket name is global across Huawei Cloud OBS, and the region cannot change after creation.

Is huawei-cloud-obs-bucket-create official?

It is in Huawei Cloud's own huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills repo, which the README calls officially maintained Huawei Cloud Agent Skills.

Is it safe to run?

It creates cloud resources with your credentials and can set a bucket to public-read or public-read-write. SKILL.md recommends private by default. Our advice: say the access level in your prompt, and check the ACL the agent reports at the end.

Does it work in Claude Code, Codex or the Claude app?

The install box has Claude Code, Codex and standalone tabs. Huawei says only that the skills are compatible with mainstream AI Agents and names none, and it documents no Claude app upload. This skill runs command-line tools on your machine, so the box has no Claude app tab.

How is it different from the OBS upload skill?

The OBS upload skill refuses to create buckets and sends you here. This skill only creates buckets and shows them. It does not upload files.
