Standalone Install Note

If this environment only installed the current skill, start from the CloudBase main entry and use the published cloudbase/references/... paths for sibling skills.

• CloudBase main entry: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/SKILL.md
• Current skill raw source: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/cloudrun-development/SKILL.md

Keep local references/... paths for files that ship with the current skill directory. When this file points to a sibling skill such as auth-tool or web-development, use the standalone fallback URL shown next to that reference.

CloudBase Run Development

Activation Contract

Use this first when

• The task is to initialize, run, deploy, inspect, or debug a CloudBase Run service.
• The request needs a long-lived HTTP service, SSE, WebSocket, custom system dependencies, or container-style deployment.
• The task is to create or run an Agent service on CloudBase Run.

Read before writing code if

• You still need to choose between Function mode and Container mode.
• The prompt mentions queryCloudRun, manageCloudRun, Dockerfile, service domains, or public/private access.

Then also read

• Cloud functions instead of CloudRun -> ../cloud-functions/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/cloud-functions/SKILL.md)
• Agent SDK and AG-UI specifics -> ../cloudbase-agent/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/cloudbase-agent/SKILL.md)
• Web authentication for browser callers -> ../auth-web/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/auth-web/SKILL.md)

Do NOT use for

• Simple Event Function or HTTP Function workflows that fit the function model better.
• Frontend-only projects with no backend service.
• Database-schema design tasks.

Common mistakes / gotchas

• Choosing CloudRun when the request only needs a normal cloud function.
• Forgetting to listen on the platform-provided PORT.
• Treating CloudRun as stateful app hosting and storing important state on local disk.
• Assuming local run is available for Container mode.
• Opening public access by default when the scenario only needs private or mini-program internal access.

Minimal checklist

• Choose Function mode or Container mode explicitly.
• Confirm whether the service should be public, VPC-only, or mini-program internal.
• Keep the service stateless and externalize durable data.
• Use absolute paths for every local project path.

Overview

Use CloudBase Run when the task needs a deployed backend service rather than a short-lived serverless function.

When CloudRun is a better fit

• Long connections: WebSocket, SSE, server push
• Long-running request handling or persistent service processes
• Custom runtime environments or system libraries
• Arbitrary languages or frameworks
• Stable external service endpoints with elastic scaling
• AI Agent deployment on Function mode CloudRun

Mode selection

Dimension	Function mode	Container mode
Best for	Fast start, Node.js service patterns, built-in framework, Agent flows	Existing containers, arbitrary runtimes, custom system dependencies
Port model	Framework-managed local mode, deployed service still follows platform rules	App must listen on injected PORT
Dockerfile	Not required	Required
Local run through tools	Supported	Not supported
Typical use	Streaming APIs, low-latency backend, Agent service	Custom language stack, migrated container app

How to use this skill (for a coding agent)

1. Choose mode first

   • Function mode -> quickest path for HTTP/SSE/WebSocket or Agent scenarios
   • Container mode -> use when Docker/custom runtime is a real requirement

2. Follow mandatory runtime rules

   • Listen on PORT
   • Keep the service stateless
   • Put durable data in DB/storage/cache
   • Keep dependencies and image size small
   • Respect resource ratio guidance: Mem = 2 × CPU

3. Use the correct tools

   • Read operations -> queryCloudRun
   • Write operations -> manageCloudRun
   • Delete requires explicit confirmation and force: true
   • Always use absolute targetPath

4. Follow the deployment sequence

   • Initialize or download code
   • For Container mode, verify Dockerfile
   • Local run when available
   • Configure access model
   • Deploy and verify detail output

Tool routing

Read operations

• queryCloudRun(action="list") -> list services
• queryCloudRun(action="detail") -> inspect one service and its latest deploy status when available
• queryCloudRun(action="templates") -> see available starters
• queryCloudRun(action="getDeployLog") -> retrieve the latest deploy log or a specified buildId

Write operations

• manageCloudRun(action="init") -> create local project
• manageCloudRun(action="download") -> pull remote code
• manageCloudRun(action="run") -> local run for Function mode
• manageCloudRun(action="deploy") -> deploy local project
• manageCloudRun(action="delete") -> delete service
• manageCloudRun(action="createAgent") -> create Agent service

Access guidance

• Web/public scenarios -> enable WEB access intentionally and pair it with the right auth flow.
• Mini Program -> prefer internal direct connection and avoid unnecessary public exposure.
• Private/VPC scenarios -> keep public access off unless the product requirement clearly needs it.

Quick examples

Initialize

{ "action": "init", "serverName": "my-svc", "targetPath": "/abs/ws/my-svc" }

Local run (Function mode)

{ "action": "run", "serverName": "my-svc", "targetPath": "/abs/ws/my-svc", "runOptions": { "port": 3000 } }

Deploy

{
  "action": "deploy",
  "serverName": "my-svc",
  "targetPath": "/abs/ws/my-svc",
  "serverConfig": {
    "OpenAccessTypes": ["PUBLIC"],
    "Cpu": 0.5,
    "Mem": 1,
    "MinNum": 1,
    "MaxNum": 5
  }
}

Valid OpenAccessTypes values: OA (办公网访问), PUBLIC (公网访问), MINIAPP (小程序访问), VPC (VPC访问). Use PUBLIC for web applications that need public HTTPS access.

MinNum: 1 is the recommended default when you want to reduce cold-start latency. If the user explicitly prefers lower cost and accepts more cold starts, explain the tradeoff and let them reduce MinNum to 0.

Best practices

1. Prefer PRIVATE/VPC or mini-program internal access when possible.
2. Use environment variables for secrets and per-environment configuration.
3. Verify configuration before and after deployment with queryCloudRun(action="detail").
4. Keep startup work small to reduce cold-start impact.
5. For Agent scenarios, use the Agent SDK skill for protocol and adapter details instead of duplicating them here.

Troubleshooting hints

• Access failure -> check access type, domain setup, and whether the instance scaled to zero.
• Deployment failure -> inspect Dockerfile, build logs, and CPU/memory ratio.
• Local run failure -> remember only Function mode is supported by local-run tools.
• Performance issues -> reduce dependencies, optimize initialization, and tune minimum instances.
