Ops

Edge Delivery Services Admin Operations

Execute admin operations on AEM Edge Delivery Services projects using natural language commands.

Quick Reference

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:

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:

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:

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:

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

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:

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:

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:

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

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

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:

# 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
