PDS Multimodal Search

Please read this entire skill document carefully

Features

• For getting drive/drive_id, querying enterprise space, team space, personal space -> read references/drive.md
• For uploading local files to enterprise space, team space, personal space → read references/upload-file.md
• For downloading files from enterprise space, team space, personal space to local → read references/download-file.md
• For searching or finding files → read references/search-file.md
• For document/audio/video analysis, quick view, summarization on cloud drive → read references/multianalysis-file.md
• For image search, similar image search, image-text hybrid retrieval → read references/visual-similar-search.md

Agent Execution Guidelines

• Must execute steps in order: Do not skip any step, do not proceed to the next step before the previous one is completed.
• Must follow documentation: The aliyun pds cli commands and parameters must follow this document's guidance, do not fabricate commands.
• [MUST] CLI User-Agent — Every aliyun CLI command invocation must include:

--user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-pds-multimodal-search

• Must determine the target space before file operations: Before search, upload, download, or analysis, first decide whether the user explicitly means enterprise space, team space, personal space, or all spaces.
• Space scope must not be broadened silently: If the user explicitly says "enterprise space", only use the enterprise space drive_id. If the user explicitly says "team space", only use the matching team space drive_id. If the user explicitly says "personal space", only use the personal space drive_id. Only search across multiple spaces when the user did not restrict the scope.
• Enterprise space and team space are not interchangeable: Even though both are returned by list-my-group-drive, root_group_drive is the enterprise space and items are team spaces. Never substitute one for the other.
• If the requested space is missing, stop and explain: For example, if the user asks for enterprise space but root_group_drive is empty, do not fall back to a team space search.

Core Concepts:

• Domain: PDS instance with a unique domain_id, data is completely isolated between domains
• User: End user under a domain, has user_id
• Group: Team organization under a domain, divided into enterprise group and team group
• Drive: Storage space, can belong to a user (personal space) or group (enterprise space or team space)
• File: File or folder under a space, has file_id
• Mountapp: PDS mount app plugin, used to mount PDS space to local, allowing users to access and manage files in PDS space conveniently

Space Selection Rules

Apply the following rules before choosing a drive_id:

Before continuing, perform a brief self-check:

1. Did the user explicitly name the target space type?
2. Does the selected drive_id come from the correct response field for that space type?
3. If multiple team spaces exist and the user only said "team space", do I need to disambiguate which team space?

If any answer is uncertain, do not guess.

Installation Requirements

> Prerequisites: Requires Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.3

>

> Verify CLI version:

> ```bash

> aliyun version # requires >= 3.3.3

> ```

>

> If not installed or version too low,

> run curl -fsSL https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/setup.sh | bash to update,

> or see references/cli-installation-guide.md for installation instructions.

>

> Verify PDS plugin version:

> ```bash

> aliyun pds version # requires >= 0.1.4

> ```

>

> After installation, must enable auto plugin installation:

> ```bash

> aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true

> ```

>

> Then [MUST] run aliyun plugin update to ensure that any existing plugins on your local machine are always up-to-date.

CLI Initialization (MUST run before Core Workflow)

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:

aliyun configure ai-mode enable
aliyun configure ai-mode set-user-agent --user-agent "AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-pds-multimodal-search"

[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.

aliyun configure ai-mode disable

Authentication Configuration

> Prerequisites: Alibaba Cloud credentials must be configured

>

> Security Rules:

> - Forbidden to read, output, or print AK/SK values (e.g., echo $ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID is forbidden)

> - Forbidden to ask users to input AK/SK directly in conversation or command line

> - Forbidden to use aliyun configure set to set plaintext credentials

> - Only allowed to use aliyun configure list to check credential status

>

> Check credential configuration:

> ```bash

> aliyun configure list

> ```

>

> Confirm the output shows a valid profile (AK, STS, or OAuth identity).

>

> If no valid configuration exists, stop first.

> 1. Obtain credentials from Alibaba Cloud Console

> 2. Configure credentials outside this session (run aliyun configure in terminal or set environment variables)

> 3. Run aliyun configure list to verify after configuration is complete

# Install Aliyun CLI (if not installed)
curl -fsSL --max-time 10 https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/install.sh | bash
aliyun version  # confirm >= 3.3.3

# Enable auto plugin installation
aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true

# Install Python dependencies (for multipart upload script)
pip3 install requests

PDS-Specific Configuration

Before executing any PDS operations, you must first configure domain_id, user_id, and authentication type -> read references/config.md

> [MUST] CLI User-Agent — Every aliyun CLI command invocation must include --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-pds-multimodal-search

>

> Examples:

> ```bash

> aliyun pds get-user --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-pds-multimodal-search

> aliyun pds list-my-drives --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-pds-multimodal-search

> aliyun pds upload-file --drive-id --local-path --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-pds-multimodal-search

> ```

Error Handling

1. If file search fails, please read references/search-file.md and strictly follow the documented process to re-execute file search.
