Overview
Command-line oriented assistant for managing Hetzner Cloud infrastructure using the official `hcloud` CLI (servers, volumes, networks, firewalls, snapshots, SSH keys, etc.), with strong guardrails around destructive and high-impact operations.
Key Advantages
1.Built around the official Hetzner Cloud CLI (`hcloud`), leveraging a mature and well-documented tool
2.Covers core infrastructure domains: servers, server types, locations, networks, firewalls, volumes, snapshots/images, SSH keys
3.Explicit safety policy: forbids delete operations, avoids logging tokens, requires confirmation before create/modify, and recommends snapshots before changes
4.Provides concrete install and setup instructions, including context management for multiple Hetzner projects
5.Supports structured output formats (JSON/YAML/columns) for integration in scripts and automation flows
Use Cases
- Guided setup of Hetzner Cloud CLI contexts for new or existing Hetzner accounts
- Planning and drafting commands for creating or modifying servers, volumes, networks, and firewalls with user approval
- Designing safer change workflows by always taking snapshots before configuration changes on servers
- Assisting DevOps/infra engineers in listing, inspecting, and querying Hetzner resources with JSON/YAML output for further tooling
- Helping users manage multiple projects via CLI contexts without exposing API tokens or credentials

**Judgement:** A strong, safety-conscious skill for users who already use or want to use the official Hetzner Cloud CLI. It is well-suited to infrastructure and DevOps workflows where changes are mediated through explicit CLI commands rather than opaque automation.
**What it does well:**
- Guides installation and configuration of the `hcloud` CLI across major Linux distros and macOS.
- Covers core Hetzner resources: servers, volumes, networks, firewalls, snapshots/images, SSH keys, and locations.
- Enforces clear guardrails: no delete operations, no credential exposure, confirmation before create/modify, and snapshot recommendations before changes.
- Encourages good practices such as context usage for multiple projects and structured outputs (JSON/YAML) for downstream tools.
**Key risks / limitations:**
- Still capable of proposing impactful create/modify commands (e.g., firewall or network changes) that can cause downtime or cost if a user approves them without understanding.
- Assumes the user is the legitimate account owner; verification in group contexts relies on user honesty.
- Requires the `hcloud` CLI to be installed and configured; without that, suggested commands won’t work, and troubleshooting may be non-trivial for beginners.
- No delete operations are allowed, which improves safety but limits full lifecycle management (cleanup must be done manually outside the skill’s guidance).
**Best-fit scenarios:**
- Developers/DevOps engineers managing Hetzner Cloud who want help drafting safe CLI commands and following best practices around snapshots and contexts.
- Users building scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or automation around `hcloud` and needing correct command patterns and output format options.
- Situations where transparency and review of each infrastructure command are important, and users prefer explicit, copy-pastable CLI over fully automated changes.
