This is Huawei Cloud's own skill for OBS statistics. It tells the agent to list buckets with hcloud, read capacity and object counts from Cloud Eye metrics, and run two bundled Python scripts for download traffic and request totals. Both scripts call hcloud CES ShowMetricData and can compare against the previous period.

You need the hcloud CLI (3.2.0 or newer) and obsutil (5.5.0 or newer), plus obsutil credentials that you set in your own terminal. SKILL.md blocks every delete operation and says the agent must not ask for or print your keys.

Good for

Cloud admins who want a quick table of buckets with capacity and object counts
Teams watching OBS download traffic for a bucket this month or last month
Anyone who needs total GET, PUT, POST, DELETE and HEAD request counts for a bucket

Install huawei-cloud-obs-stats

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

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

npx skills add huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills --skill huawei-cloud-obs-stats

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.

Run the KooCLI and obsutil steps first (SKILL.md needs hcloud 3.2.0+ and obsutil 5.5.0+; the commands shown are 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 two Python scripts need a Python 3 on your PATH. The repo has no plugin manifest, so there is no plugin route.

What's in the skill

When it loads

Query Huawei Cloud OBS (Object Storage Service) statistics: list buckets with capacity and object counts, query extranet/intranet download traffic with month-over-month comparison, and query total requests with month-over-month comparison. Use this skill when the user wants to: (1) list OBS buckets and check their storage capacity and object count, (2) query download traffic with MoM comparison, (3) query request counts with MoM comparison. Trigger: user mentions "OBS", "object storage", "bucket list", "bucket capacity", "download traffic", "total requests", "request count", "month-over-month", "OBS stats", "OBS management", "对象存储", "桶列表", "桶容量", "下载流量", "请求总数", "月环比", "OBS监控"

What it includes: 13 files including SKILL.md (counted from the repo tree): 11 Markdown files and 2 Python scripts, scripts/obs_traffic_stats.py and scripts/obs_request_stats.py.
Needs: hcloud (KooCLI) 3.2.0 or newer, obsutil 5.5.0 or newer, and obsutil credentials that you set in your own terminal (SKILL.md)

What it includes

Lists buckets with capacity and object counts
Lists buckets with hcloud obs ls, then reads the capacity_total and object_num_all metrics from Cloud Eye through hcloud CES ShowMetricData.
Try: “List my OBS buckets with capacity and object counts.”
Runs code · Task 1: list buckets with stats
Runs scripts/obs_traffic_stats.py for extranet and intranet traffic
Runs the bundled Python script, which calls hcloud CES ShowMetricData for a bucket and period, with optional --direction download, upload or both and an optional month-over-month comparison.
Try: “Show download traffic for bucket my-bucket in cn-north-4 for the last 30 days.”
Runs code · Task 2: download traffic
Runs scripts/obs_request_stats.py for GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, HEAD totals
Runs the bundled Python script, which sums the request metrics for a bucket and period, with optional 4xx and 5xx counts (--include-errors) and an optional month-over-month comparison.
Try: “Show request counts for bucket my-bucket in cn-north-4 this month, with errors.”
Runs code · Task 3: total requests
Treats this month, last 30 days and last month differently
SKILL.md maps "this month", "last 30 days" or "past month", "last month" and explicit dates to different ranges, and says the wording must match what you asked.
Read · Time range rules
Refuses deleting buckets or objects
SKILL.md forbids DeleteBucket, DeleteObject, DeleteObjects and emptying a bucket, and tells the agent to send you to the console or obsutil.

Permissions

Low risk

It runs hcloud and two Python scripts with your cloud credentials and reads bucket statistics into the chat. Use a key that can only list buckets and read metrics.

What it can do

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

Watch out for

Your keys sit in the CLI config
You store the access key and secret key with hcloud obs config in your terminal. SKILL.md tells the agent not to read, echo or print them. Use an IAM user that can only list buckets and read metrics. github.com
Bucket names and usage numbers go into the chat
Task 1 lists every bucket you can see. If you share the session, share only what you would show a colleague. github.com
The CLI install guide uses curl and sudo
references/cli-installation-guide.md downloads the hcloud installer from a Huawei Cloud OBS address and moves hcloud and obsutil into /usr/local/bin with sudo. Read the commands before you run them. github.com

Technical details

Turning on read-only	SKILL.md lists only list and metric-read tasks. There is no switch that enforces it.
Talks to	Huawei Cloud API for Cloud Eye metrics through hcloud. obs.<region>.myhuaweicloud.com (the OBS endpoint you configure). cn-north-4-hdn-koocli.obs.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com and obs-community-tool.obs.cn-north-1.myhuaweicloud.com for the CLI downloads in the install guide
Sign-in and keys	The key lives in the obsutil and hcloud config on your machine. SKILL.md says the agent must not ask for it or print it.
Scopes	Reads bucket names, capacity, object counts, traffic and request metrics for the buckets and periods you name Runs hcloud and two bundled Python scripts that call hcloud CES ShowMetricData

Questions

What does huawei-cloud-obs-stats do?

It makes an agent report OBS bucket capacity and object counts, download traffic and request totals for a bucket and period, with optional comparison to the previous period. It runs hcloud commands and two bundled Python scripts.

Does it need an API key?

Yes. It needs obsutil credentials for the bucket list, and hcloud credentials for Cloud Eye metrics. SKILL.md says you configure obsutil in your own terminal and the agent must not ask for the keys in chat. Our advice: use an IAM user with only the list and metric read permissions the skill's references/iam-policies.md names.

Is huawei-cloud-obs-stats 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 reads bucket names, sizes and metrics with your cloud credentials and runs two Python scripts that call the hcloud CLI. SKILL.md blocks deletes. Metrics for your buckets appear in the chat, so use it in a session you control.

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 and storage query skills?

This one reports statistics only. The OBS upload skill also lists buckets with capacity but is built around uploading files, and the storage query skill looks up OBS settings, ACLs and objects with Python SDK scripts.
