Oci Iot Platform

OCI IoT Platform

Quick Start

1. Confirm the user is working with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Internet of Things Platform.
2. Ask for the minimum context needed before giving commands:
   • IOT_DOMAIN_ID when available
   • OCI_CLI_PROFILE
   • OCI_CLI_AUTH when the selected profile needs it, such as security_token
   • OCI_REGION if it cannot be derived from the domain
   • intended operation: inspect, create, update, delete, or publish test telemetry
3. Prefer this execution order:
   • discover the domain and current state
   • inspect the relevant model, adapter, or twin
   • check local CLI capability with oci ... --help when using newer filters or gateway/raw-command options
   • make the smallest required change
   • verify the result with a fresh read

Default Workflow

1. Start with read-only OCI CLI discovery.
2. Use scripts/derive_domain_context.sh when the user only has IOT_DOMAIN_ID.
3. Use references/platform-surface.md when the task needs orientation on OCI IoT resource families, data flow, connectivity types, or which surface to use.
4. Use references/cli-workflows.md for control-plane actions:
   • domains and domain groups
   • digital twin models
   • adapters
   • instances
   • relationships
   • work requests
   • HTTPS publish examples
5. Use references/mcp-optional-use.md only when an OCI IoT MCP server is already available in the user's environment. Keep CLI as the fallback and never require MCP for public workflows.
6. Use references/resilience-guidance.md for:
   • large or ambiguous list operations
   • SDK or CLI command-shape drift
   • gateway-aware topology
   • relationship source/target diagnosis
   • work-request failures
   • publish rejection triage
   • raw-command final-state validation
   • cleanup or rollback planning
7. Use references/modeling-guidance.md when the request involves DTDL authoring or adapter payload design.
8. Use references/data-access.md only when the user explicitly needs Data API, ORDS, direct database access, or APEX-oriented workflows.
9. Use references/release-validation.md before calling the skill package ready to share publicly.

Bundled Resources

• Run scripts/derive_domain_context.sh to derive:
  • region
  • device host
  • data host
  • domain group OCID
  • short IDs used in later commands
• Run scripts/twin_tools.py for:
  • last-known
  • offline
  • telemetry-template
• Reuse templates/model.temperature-sensor.template.json, templates/adapter.default.template.json, templates/instance.template.json, and templates/publish-curl.template.sh as neutral starting points.
• Use references/platform-surface.md to explain how domains, domain groups, models, adapters, twins, relationships, work requests, raw commands, and data access fit together.
• Use references/resilience-guidance.md to keep operator responses bounded, active-resource focused, and explicit about final-state evidence.
• Use references/mcp-optional-use.md to recognize optional OCI IoT MCP tool families, gateway-aware helper behavior, Data API wrappers, and safety rules.

Guardrails

• Do not assume internal tenancy names, profiles, network access patterns, or private tooling.
• Treat Oracle product docs and official samples as the source of truth for platform behavior.
• Prefer read-only commands first and verify current state before recommending mutations.
• When suggesting create, update, or delete operations, include a verification command immediately after the mutation.
• Bound large reads with filters and --limit before using --all.
• Treat asynchronous acceptance, including raw-command 202, as incomplete until final state is verified.
• For digital twin instance creation, never use INDIRECT as a shortcut to avoid auth setup. Use INDIRECT only when the user explicitly asks for a gateway/downstream topology or provides a gateway routing requirement. Otherwise clarify connectivity or proceed with DIRECT when a publishing device is implied.
• Keep MCP guidance optional. Do not make MCP installation or private MCP bootstrap part of the public workflow.
• When MCP is already available, treat it as an accelerator for joined context, selector resolution, bounded pagination, gateway topology, Data API summaries, and polling; always be ready to fall back to CLI or SDK commands.
• Treat device publishing auth modes separately:
  • vault-secret-backed basic auth
  • certificate-based mTLS
• Do not imply OCI IoT is a general-purpose MQTT broker.
• Keep examples redacted and tenant-neutral.

Output Style

For each task, return:

1. The exact command sequence with placeholders filled or called out.
2. The key IDs, state, or timestamps that matter.
3. The next verification step.
