Hi! 👋 First, thanks for building and maintaining coolify-cli — the JSON output (--format=json), the context model, and the overall scriptability made it a great foundation to build on.
I wanted to share something we built on top of the CLI.
What we built
coolify-ops — an Agent Skill (for Claude Code / Codex, installable via skills.sh) that drives coolify-cli with natural language to deploy, operate, and troubleshoot apps / services / databases on a self-hosted Coolify instance.
It's a thin, opinionated layer that just shells out to coolify:
- Translates intent →
coolify commands: deploy + follow logs, env sync, lifecycle, backups, troubleshooting, and resource creation (app create / service create / database create).
- Leans on
coolify <cmd> --help at runtime instead of hard-coding flags, to avoid version drift.
- Encodes safety rules (confirm destructive ops, never auto-
-f, never default --is-public for databases).
- Understands both English and Chinese prompts.
npx skills add hifizz/coolify-ops-skill
Built and tested against coolify-cli v1.6.2 / Coolify v4.1.1. No change to the CLI is needed — it's purely a consumer. Sharing in case it's useful to other Coolify users, and happy to take feedback if any patterns are off.
Offer
Happy to contribute usage examples/docs upstream if useful — and if there's a preferred place to list community tooling/skills, point me at it.
(Not a bug report — feel free to relabel/close if Issues isn't the right channel, since Discussions don't appear to be enabled.)
Thanks! 🙏
