## Overview
This skill extends [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) with specialized knowledge for working with [Yandex Cloud CLI (`yc`)](https://yandex.cloud/docs/cli/). It provides instant access to command references, best practices, and multi-region configuration guidance.
## Features
- **Compute Operations** — VM lifecycle management, disk operations, snapshots, images
- **Networking (VPC)** — Networks, subnets, security groups with rule syntax
- **IAM & Service Accounts** — Authentication, API keys, role assignments, CI/CD automation
- **Object Storage** — S3-compatible storage, bucket management, lifecycle policies
- **Container Services** — Container Registry, Managed Kubernetes clusters
- **Managed Databases** — PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB with backup/restore
- **Security Services** — Lockbox secrets management, Certificate Manager
- **DNS Management** — DNS zones, record sets (A, CNAME, TXT, MX, etc.)
- **Load Balancers** — Network (L4) and Application (L7) load balancing
- **Multi-Region Support** — Russia and Kazakhstan endpoints and profiles
- **Profile Management** — Switch between environments seamlessly
- **Quick Reference** — Common commands and patterns at your fingertips
## Installation
### User Scope (Available in All Projects)
```bash
# Clone and copy to user skills directory
git clone https://github.com/rodion-m/yandex-cloud-cli-claude-skill.git
cp -r yandex-cloud-cli-claude-skill ~/.claude/skills/yandex-cloud-cli
```
### Project Scope (Available Only in This Repository)
```bash
# Clone and copy to project skills directory
git clone https://github.com/rodion-m/yandex-cloud-cli-claude-skill.git
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r yandex-cloud-cli-claude-skill .claude/skills/yandex-cloud-cli
```
### Verify Installation
The skill will be automatically loaded when Claude Code detects relevant Yandex Cloud tasks.
## Usage
Once installed, Claude Code will automatically use this skill when you ask about Yandex Cloud operations. Examples:
```
> Create a new VM in Kazakhstan with Ubuntu 24.04
> How do I add a security group rule for port 3000?
> Switch to my production profile and list all disks
> What's the command to resize a disk without downtime?
```
