Prerequisites

Pre-check: Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.1 required
Run aliyun version to verify. If not installed or version too low,
see references/cli-installation-guide.md for installation instructions.

1. Enable DataWorks Service

Before using this Skill, you need to enable the DataWorks service:

1. Visit DataWorks Console: https://dataworks.console.aliyun.com/
2. Follow the prompts to complete the service activation

Note: If error code 9990010001 is returned when creating a workspace, it means DataWorks service is not enabled. Please complete the above activation steps first.

2. Install Aliyun CLI

# macOS
brew install aliyun-cli

# Linux
curl -fsSL --max-time 30 https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/install.sh | bash

# Verify version (>= 3.3.1)
aliyun version

3. Credential Status

# Confirm valid credentials
aliyun configure list

4. First-time Configuration

# Enable auto plugin installation
aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true

CLI Calling Specifications

IMPORTANT: This Skill uses Aliyun CLI to call cloud services. The following specifications must be followed:

Parameter Confirmation

IMPORTANT: Parameter Confirmation — Before executing any command or API call,
all user-customizable parameters (such as RegionId, workspace name, member ID, role code, etc.)
must be confirmed by the user. Do not assume or use default values.

Key Parameters List

*Depends on specific API

Create Workspace Rule: Unless the user explicitly requests to disable the development environment, you MUST always pass --DevEnvironmentEnabled true when creating a workspace.

Endpoint Parameter Description

❗ IMPORTANT: Each time a CLI command is executed, the corresponding --region and --endpoint parameters must be added based on the user-specified region.

Format: --region {RegionId} --endpoint dataworks.{RegionId}.aliyuncs.com

Region Mapping Table: See [references/endpoint-regions.md](references/endpoint-regions.md)

RAM Permission Policies

Using this Skill requires the following RAM permissions. For details, see [references/ram-policies.md](references/ram-policies.md)

Business Scenarios and Handling

Scenario 1: Access After Creating Workspace

After a workspace is successfully created, it can be accessed via the following URL:

https://dataworks.data.aliyun.com/{regionId}/sc?defaultProjectId={projectId}

Example (Hangzhou region):

https://dataworks.data.aliyun.com/cn-hangzhou/sc?defaultProjectId=12345

Scenario 2: Adding RAM Role as Workspace Member

UserId Format Description:

Important Limitation: Newly created RAM roles cannot be directly added as workspace members via API. They need to be refreshed and synced in the console first.

Steps:

1. Visit workspace console: https://dataworks.data.aliyun.com/{regionId}/sc?defaultProjectId={projectId}
2. Go to Workspace Members and Roles page
3. Click Add Member button
4. In the popup, click Refresh in the prompt "You can go to RAM console to create a sub-account, and click refresh to sync to this page"
5. After sync is complete, you can add the RAM role as a member via API

# Example of adding RAM role member
aliyun dataworks-public CreateProjectMember \
  --ProjectId 12345 \
  --UserId ROLE_345678901234567890 \
  --RoleCodes '["role_project_dev"]' \
  --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills

Scenario 3: Workspace Configuration Update Limitations

When using the UpdateProject API to update workspace configuration, there are the following limitations:

Recommendation: Plan development role and development environment configurations carefully when creating a workspace, as these configurations cannot be reverted once enabled.

Scenario 3.1: Workspace Upgrade Blocking

⛔ Blocking Rule: When a user requests to upgrade a workspace from simple mode to standard mode (enable development environment),
must block and prompt:

"Workspace upgrade capability is currently not available. Please go to the console to complete the upgrade manually."

Console Upgrade Path:

1. Visit DataWorks Console: https://dataworks.console.aliyun.com/
2. Find the target workspace
3. Go to Workspace Configuration → Basic Properties
4. Click Upgrade to Standard Mode

API Limitation Reason: Workspace mode upgrade involves complex operations such as environment isolation configuration and resource initialization. Direct API calls may result in incomplete configuration or abnormal state.

Scenario 4: DataWorks Service Not Enabled

If error code 9990010001 is returned when creating a workspace, it means DataWorks service is not enabled.

Solution:

1. Log in to Alibaba Cloud official website
2. Visit DataWorks Console: https://dataworks.console.aliyun.com/
3. Follow the prompts to complete service activation
4. After activation, retry the workspace creation operation

Best Practices

1. Principle of Least Privilege — Assign members the minimum necessary permissions
2. Use Standard Mode — For production environments, use standard mode to achieve development and production isolation
3. Standardized Naming — Use meaningful naming, such as financetaxreport
4. Use RAM Users — Do not use the main account for daily operations
