Overview

Manage the full lifecycle of Redis Cloud resources: subscriptions, databases, users, ACLs, and tasks.

Subscriptions

# List all subscriptions
redisctl cloud subscription list

# Get subscription details
redisctl cloud subscription get 12345

# Create a subscription (JSON input)
redisctl cloud subscription create --data '{...}'

# Update a subscription
redisctl cloud subscription update 12345 --data '{...}'

# Delete a subscription
redisctl cloud subscription delete 12345

Databases

# List databases (optionally filtered by subscription)
redisctl cloud database list
redisctl cloud database list --subscription 12345

# Get database details (format: subscription_id:database_id)
redisctl cloud database get 12345:67890

# Create a database
redisctl cloud database create --subscription 12345 --name mydb --memory 1

# Update a database
redisctl cloud database update 12345:67890 --memory 10

# Delete a database
redisctl cloud database delete 12345:67890

# Backup a database
redisctl cloud database backup 12345:67890

Essentials / Fixed Tier

For smaller, fixed-price databases:

redisctl cloud fixed-subscription list
redisctl cloud fixed-database list 12345
redisctl cloud fixed-database create 12345 --name mydb

Task Tracking

Cloud operations are async. Track tasks:

# List recent tasks
redisctl cloud task list

# Get task status
redisctl cloud task get <task-id>

# Wait for a task to complete
redisctl cloud task wait <task-id>

Workflows

Multi-step operations:

# Complete subscription setup with optional database
redisctl cloud workflow subscription-setup

Cost Reports

# Generate a cost report (FOCUS format)
redisctl cloud cost-report generate --start 2026-01-01 --end 2026-01-31

# Download a generated report
redisctl cloud cost-report download <report-id>

# Generate and download in one step
redisctl cloud cost-report export --start 2026-01-01 --end 2026-01-31

Account Management

# Get account details
redisctl cloud account get

# List/manage users (no create — users are managed via the Redis Cloud console)
redisctl cloud user list
redisctl cloud user get <user-id>
redisctl cloud user update <user-id> --data '{...}'
redisctl cloud user delete <user-id>

# ACL management — granular subcommands
redisctl cloud acl list-redis-rules
redisctl cloud acl create-redis-rule --data '{...}'
redisctl cloud acl list-roles
redisctl cloud acl create-role --data '{...}'
redisctl cloud acl list-acl-users
redisctl cloud acl create-acl-user --data '{...}'

Tips

Use --profile <name> to target a specific Cloud profile
Use --output json for machine-readable output
Most create/update commands accept --data with a JSON payload
Task IDs are returned from async operations — use cloud task wait to block until completion
Database IDs use the format subscription_id:database_id for most operations

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take redis/redisctl-cloud-management from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
