Setup (check before using)

ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/check_setup.rb

If the output is OK, proceed to the Flow section.

If the output is SETUP_NEEDED, guide the user step by step. Present ONE step at a time, wait for the user to confirm before moving to the next.

Step 1 — Ask the user for their Cloudinary credentials:

> You need your Cloudinary Cloud Name, API Key and API Secret. > > Go to the Cloudinary Console Dashboard: > https://console.cloudinary.com/settings/api-keys > > Copy the Cloud Name, API Key and API Secret and paste them here (all three, separated by spaces).

Step 2 — When the user pastes the credentials, save them:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/save_token.rb 'CLOUD_NAME' 'API_KEY' 'API_SECRET'

If the script outputs an error, the credentials are invalid. Ask the user to double-check and try again.

If setup is not complete, DO NOT proceed to the Flow. Complete all steps first.

Flow

The argument $ARGUMENTS may contain a public ID or folder name.

Step 1: List resources or folders

List image resources:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/resources.rb
ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/resources.rb --type upload
ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/resources.rb --type fetch
ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/resources.rb --prefix my_folder

List root folders:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/folders.rb

List subfolders:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/subfolders.rb FOLDER

Present the results to the user. If $ARGUMENTS matches a public ID, jump to Step 2. If it matches a folder, show its contents.

Step 2: Show resource details

ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/resource.rb PUBLIC_ID

Present the resource info (format, dimensions, size, URL, tags, etc.) and ask what the user wants to do.

Step 3: Actions

Upload image from URL (requires user confirmation):

Ask: "Do you want to upload this image?" Show the URL and target public ID. Only execute after a "yes".

ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/upload.rb --url 'https://example.com/image.jpg' --public_id 'my_image'

Delete a resource (requires user confirmation):

Show the resource details first, then ask: "Do you want to delete this resource?" Only execute after a "yes".

ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/delete.rb PUBLIC_ID

List transformations:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/transformations.rb

Get account usage stats:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/cloudinary/scripts/usage.rb

Notes

• Pure Ruby, zero gems — stdlib only (json, net/http, uri, fileutils)
• Auth via HTTP Basic with apikey:apisecret
• Config files: ~/.config/cloudinary/cloud_name, ~/.config/cloudinary/api_key, ~/.config/cloudinary/api_secret (outside the repo, never commit)
• Uploading and deleting resources require explicit user confirmation
• Base URL: https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/{cloud_name}
