## Communication Guidelines
- **NEVER use "EDS"** as an acronym for Edge Delivery Services in any responses
- Always use the full name "Edge Delivery Services" or "AEM Edge Delivery Services"
- Show clear, actionable error messages when operations fail
- Confirm destructive operations before executing — see `resources/security.md`
---
## Welcome Message
If the user invokes the skill without a specific command (e.g., just `/ops` or "help me with ops"), show:
```
Edge Delivery Services Operations
Quick commands to try:
list pages - Show all indexed pages
who am i - Check your user profile
list sites - Show available sites
show site config - View site configuration
preview /path - Preview a content path
show logs - View recent activity
For the full command list: type help, /ops help, or what can you do?
```

## Cross-Platform Notes
Shell commands use POSIX-compatible syntax (works on macOS/Linux). On Windows, Git Bash or WSL works as-is. The agent should adapt syntax to the user's environment.
---
## Intent Router
### Step 0: Get Organization and Site (REQUIRED FIRST)
Check `~/.aem/ops-config.json` for previously stored org and site:
```bash
eval $(node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
try {
const c = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(process.env.HOME + '/.aem/ops-config.json', 'utf8'));
console.log('ORG=' + JSON.stringify(c.org || ''));
console.log('SITE=' + JSON.stringify(c.site || ''));
} catch(e) {
console.log('ORG='); console.log('SITE=');
}
")
echo "org=${ORG:-NOT SET} site=${SITE:-NOT SET}"
```
If both `ORG` and `SITE` are set, confirm with the user:
> "Previously used: org=`{ORG}`, site=`{SITE}`. Do you want to continue with these? If not, provide a different site URL (e.g., `https://main--mysite--myorg.aem.page/`)."
- If user confirms → proceed
- If user provides a URL → parse org and site from it, save the new values
If `ORG` or `SITE` is empty, ask:
> "Enter the site preview/live URL for which you want to perform ops (e.g., `https://main--mysite--myorg.aem.page/`)."
Parse org and site from the URL:
```bash
URL="$USER_INPUT"
if echo "$URL" | grep -q '\.aem\.page\|\.aem\.live'; then
HOST_PART=$(echo "$URL" | cut -d'/' -f3 | cut -d'.' -f1)
ORG=$(echo "$HOST_PART" | awk -F'--' '{print $NF}')
SITE=$(echo "$HOST_PART" | awk -F'--' '{print $(NF-1)}')
echo "Parsed from URL: org=$ORG site=$SITE"
fi
```
If the user provides something other than a valid `.aem.page` or `.aem.live` URL, ask again.
Save org and site:
```bash
mkdir -p "${HOME}/.aem"
node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
const p = process.env.HOME + '/.aem/ops-config.json';
let c = {};
try { c = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(p, 'utf8')); } catch(e) {}
c.org = '${ORG}';
c.site = '${SITE}';
fs.writeFileSync(p, JSON.stringify(c, null, 2));
"
```
Only use org/site from `~/.aem/ops-config.json` or direct user input. Never infer from `git remote`, `fstab.yaml`, or folder/repo names.
Do NOT proceed until both org and site are confirmed.
### Step 1: Authenticate (REQUIRED)
Before ANY API call, check if auth token exists:
```bash
AUTH_TOKEN=$(node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
try {
const t = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(process.env.HOME + '/.aem/ims-token.json', 'utf8'));
if (t.authToken && t.authTokenExpiry > Math.floor(Date.now()/1000) + 60) {
process.stdout.write(t.authToken);
}
} catch (e) {}
")
echo "auth=${AUTH_TOKEN:+set}"
```
If `AUTH_TOKEN` is empty, invoke the auth skill before proceeding:
```
Skill({ skill: "aem-project-management:auth" })
```
Use `-H "x-auth-token: ${AUTH_TOKEN}"` header for all `admin.hlx.page` API calls.
For sensitive endpoints and destructive operations, read `resources/security.md` and `resources/sensitive.md` before proceeding.
### Step 2: Load Full Configuration and Validate Role
```bash
eval $(node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
try {
const c = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(process.env.HOME + '/.aem/ops-config.json', 'utf8'));
console.log('ORG=' + JSON.stringify(c.org || ''));
console.log('SITE=' + JSON.stringify(c.site || ''));
console.log('REF=' + JSON.stringify(c.ref || 'main'));
} catch(e) {
console.log('ORG='); console.log('SITE='); console.log('REF=main');
}
")
AUTH_TOKEN=$(node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
try {
const t = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(process.env.HOME + '/.aem/ims-token.json', 'utf8'));
process.stdout.write(t.authToken || '');
} catch (e) {}
")
echo "Config: org=$ORG site=$SITE ref=$REF auth=${AUTH_TOKEN:+set}"
```
Fetch profile to verify auth and record user identity:
```bash
PROFILE_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -w "\n%{http_code}" \
-H "x-auth-token: ${AUTH_TOKEN}" \
"https://admin.hlx.page/profile")
HTTP_CODE=$(echo "$PROFILE_RESPONSE" | tail -n1)
PROFILE=$(echo "$PROFILE_RESPONSE" | sed '$d')
if [ "$HTTP_CODE" = "401" ]; then
echo "Auth token expired. Need to re-authenticate..."
echo "REAUTH_REQUIRED"
exit 1
elif [ "$HTTP_CODE" != "200" ]; then
echo "Failed to fetch profile (HTTP $HTTP_CODE). Check network/API status."
exit 1
fi
eval $(echo "$PROFILE" | node -e "
const d = require('fs').readFileSync(0,'utf8');
try {
const p = JSON.parse(d).profile || {};
console.log('USER_EMAIL=' + JSON.stringify(p.email || ''));
console.log('USER_NAME=' + JSON.stringify(p.name || ''));
} catch(e) { console.log('USER_EMAIL=\"\"'); console.log('USER_NAME=\"\"'); }
")
echo "Authenticated as: $USER_EMAIL ($USER_NAME)"
```
If `REAUTH_REQUIRED`, invoke the auth skill and retry.
To determine user role on the site, check the site access config:
```bash
curl -s -H "x-auth-token: ${AUTH_TOKEN}" \
"https://admin.hlx.page/config/${ORG}/sites/${SITE}.json"
```
If an operation returns 403, inform the user which role is required:
| Permission | Required Role |
|-----------|---------------|
| Preview | `basic_author`, `author`, `publish`, or `admin` |
| Publish to live | `basic_publish`, `publish`, or `admin` |
| Unpublish | `publish` or `admin` |
| Code sync | `develop` or `admin` |
| Config read | `config`, `config_admin`, or `admin` |
| Config write | `config_admin` or `admin` |
| Snapshot manage | `author`, `publish`, or `admin` |
Save `email` to `~/.aem/ops-config.json` for future use.
Read `resources/config.md` if site or other values are missing.
### Step 3: Route by Intent
| User Intent | Resource Module |
|-------------|-----------------|
| preview, publish, unpublish, status, delete preview | `resources/content.md` |
| cache, purge, clear cache, invalidate | `resources/cache.md` |
| sync code, deploy code, update code | `resources/code.md` |
| reindex, index, remove from index, search | `resources/index.md` |
| sitemap, generate sitemap | `resources/sitemap.md` |
| snapshot, staged release, bundle | `resources/snapshots.md` |
| logs, audit, activity | `resources/logs.md` |
| user, access, permission, who am i, add user, remove user | `resources/users.md` |
| job, bulk operation, stop job | `resources/jobs.md` |
| site, branch, switch, list sites | `resources/sites.md` |
| org config, site config, robots.txt | `resources/config-api.md` |
| secret, secrets, create secret, delete secret | `resources/secrets.md` |
| API key, apikey, create key, revoke key | `resources/apikeys.md` |
| token, tokens, access token | `resources/tokens.md` |
| profile config, profile settings | `resources/profiles.md` |
| index config, helix-index, search config | `resources/index-config.md` |
| sitemap config, helix-sitemap, sitemap rules | `resources/sitemap-config.md` |
| version, versions, history, rollback, restore | `resources/versioning.md` |
| pages, list pages, indexed pages, all pages | `resources/pages.md` |
| da, da list, da source, da copy, da move, da delete, da config, da versions | `resources/da.md` |
| destructive operation, confirmation required | `resources/security.md` |
| sensitive endpoint (emails, credentials, API keys) | `resources/sensitive.md` |
### Step 4: Read Resource and Execute
1. Read the appropriate resource file from `resources/`
2. Follow instructions in that resource
3. For config updates: always GET current config first and show it to the user before modifying
4. For code sync: always check repoless status before syncing (see `code.md`)
5. For destructive operations: read `resources/security.md` and follow the Confirmation Protocol — no exceptions (state action, explain impact, ask "yes/no", only execute after "yes")
6. Execute the API call
7. Handle response per completion standards below
### Completion Standards
| HTTP Response | Meaning | Required Action |
|---------------|---------|-----------------|
| **200/201** | Success | Display result with full URLs (`https://{ref}--{site}--{org}.aem.page{path}`) |
| **202** | Async job started | Report job name; instruct: `check job status {jobName}` to track progress |
| **204** | Success (no body) | Confirm: "{action} completed for {path}" |
| **4xx/5xx** | Error | Show API error verbatim, then suggest fix per `resources/errors.md` |
Before reporting success:
- For content operations: include both preview and live URLs where applicable
- For bulk operations: never say "published" or "previewed" — say "job started" until job completes
- For destructive operations: confirm what was removed and what still exists
---
## URL Parsing Helper
If user provides an AEM URL instead of separate org/site/path values:
```bash
# Pattern: https://{ref}--{site}--{org}.aem.page{path}
URL="$USER_INPUT"
if echo "$URL" | grep -q '\.aem\.page\|\.aem\.live'; then
DOMAIN=$(echo "$URL" | cut -d'/' -f3)
HOST_PART=$(echo "$DOMAIN" | cut -d'.' -f1)
REF=$(echo "$HOST_PART" | awk -F'--' '{print $1}')
ORG=$(echo "$HOST_PART" | awk -F'--' '{print $NF}')
SITE=$(echo "$HOST_PART" | awk -F'--' '{
r=""; for(i=2;i<NF;i++) r=(r==""?"":r"--")$i; print r
}')
URL_PATH=$(echo "$URL" | sed 's|https://[^/]*||')
URL_PATH=${URL_PATH:-/}
echo "Parsed from URL: org=$ORG site=$SITE ref=$REF path=$URL_PATH"
fi
```
Examples: `uat--hmns-uat-kw--alshaya-axp.aem.page` → `ref=uat`, `site=hmns-uat-kw`, `org=alshaya-axp`.

## Prerequisites
1. **Onboarded to Admin Service** — Project must have admin.hlx.page access
2. **User has an account** — Required for authentication (supports federated login)
3. **User has a site role** — Roles defined in site configuration (`access.admin.role`). Eight roles: `admin`, `author`, `publish`, `develop`, `basic_author`, `basic_publish`, `config`, `config_admin`. If the user lacks a role, the API returns 403.
4. **Network access** — Can reach admin.hlx.page
