baronguyen001 S3 Uploader
Use this skill when an automation run needs durable artifact storage: CSV reports, PDFs, JSON checkpoints, screenshots, model outputs, or logs that should survive outside the local machine. The helper targets generic S3-compatible storage and reads bucket, endpoint, and credentials from environment variables only.
When to invoke
- User says: "upload this report to S3", "save artifacts to object storage", "download the last run file", "use MinIO/R2/Spaces".
- Code in the conversation writes files locally but needs a portable handoff or archive location.
When NOT to invoke
- The artifact is only needed inside the same process; keep it on disk.
- The user needs a public website CDN workflow with cache invalidation and signed URLs.
Concrete example
User input:
Upload the generated CSV to my S3-compatible bucket after the scraper finishes.
Output:
# Copy assets/s3.py into your project, then:
from s3 import upload_file
key = upload_file("out/daily_report.csv", key="reports/daily_report.csv")
print("uploaded:", key)
The helper reads S3_BUCKET, S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID, S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, optional S3_ENDPOINT_URL, and optional S3_REGION from the environment. Nothing target-specific or secret is committed.
Pattern to apply
- Keep bucket name, endpoint, access key, and secret key in env vars only.
- Use deterministic object keys such as
reports/YYYY-MM-DD/name.csvso reruns are easy to find. - Upload only after the local file is complete; never stream a half-written artifact.
- Support S3-compatible endpoints by passing
endpoint_urlinstead of hardcoding AWS. - Fail with a clear config error when env vars or client libraries are missing.
