storageops 0.4.25

StorageOps — S3-compatible object storage diagnostic toolkit. A Pi Coding Agent extension + skill pack.

StorageOps

StorageOps is a Pi Coding Agent extension and skill pack for diagnosing S3-compatible object storage problems.

It is designed for cases like AccessDenied, SlowDown, SignatureDoesNotMatch, checksum mismatches, stale reads, broken lifecycle rules, failed notifications, and migration surprises. You provide logs, errors, configs, or a short description; Pi loads the StorageOps skills and tools to produce an evidence-based diagnosis.

What You Get

• 16 diagnostic skills covering security, protocol compatibility, CLI/SDK behavior, performance, network access, lifecycle cost, replication, mount/workspace usage, migration, data consistency, access logs, big-data pipelines, notifications, reporting, and triage, plus 1 eval skill pack.
• 4 Pi extension tools:
  • scan_secrets redacts credentials and tokens.
  • detect_domain ranks likely diagnostic domains from evidence text.
  • search_memory searches prior Pi sessions for related diagnoses.
  • capture_http_trace wraps one bounded read-only command through httpmon and returns a sanitized HTTP summary.
• Deterministic helper scripts for access logs, policy analysis, throttling, ETags, small-object cost, migration estimates, SigV4 parsing, endpoint reachability, and golden-case eval.
• A regression suite with 33 compact golden cases and size gates to keep the repository lean.

Quick Start

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+, Python 3.11+, and a model provider key.

# 1. Install Pi Coding Agent (the runtime engine)
#    storageops install does this automatically, but you can also install manually:
npm install -g @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent

# 2. Install StorageOps
python3 -m pip install storageops -i https://pypi.org/simple
storageops install

# 3. Configure a model key (pick one)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

# 4. Run a diagnosis
storageops --print 's5cmd sync reports 429 SlowDown; diagnose likely cause'

Ubuntu / Debian: If pip install storageops fails with "externally-managed-environment", use python3 -m pip install storageops --break-system-packages -i https://pypi.org/simple on an isolated VM, or create a virtualenv first.

Cloud or regional PyPI mirrors: If your default mirror reports "No matching distribution found for storageops", install from the official PyPI index:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade storageops -i https://pypi.org/simple

storageops install automatically installs Pi Coding Agent via npm if it is not already present. It stops before deployment when an older Pi version is detected and prints the manual upgrade command, avoiding both auto-upgrades and half-ready StorageOps installs. It also prepares the managed httpmon helper for capture_http_trace under ~/.storageops/bin/. PyPI release packages include the verified Linux amd64 helper used by common cloud VMs, so those users do not need to install httpmon, install Go, or edit PATH manually. Other supported platforms use the bounded download fallback when the bundled helper does not match.

Configure a Model Key

Use any one of these patterns:

export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

Or store a local key for the selected StorageOps/Pi agent directory:

echo sk-... > ~/.storageops/agent/api-key
chmod 600 ~/.storageops/agent/api-key

You can also pass Pi-native options through storageops, for example --provider, --model, --api-key, --print, --resume, or @file inputs.

DeepSeek smoke test:

storageops --provider deepseek --model deepseek-v4-pro --print 'hello'

deepseek-v4-pro and deepseek-v4-flash are known-good DeepSeek choices with Pi 0.78.0. If you keep a key in ~/.storageops/agent/api-key, StorageOps reads it and exposes it to Pi; you do not need to pass --api-key for normal use.

Install Modes

Independent mode is the default:

storageops install

It writes:

~/.storageops/
├── agent/
│   ├── settings.json
│   ├── api-key
│   ├── extensions/storageops.ts
│   └── sessions/
└── skills/

Merge mode installs into an existing Pi setup:

storageops install --merge

It writes the extension to ~/.pi/agent/extensions/, skills to ~/.pi/skills/, and backs up settings.json before merging StorageOps settings.

Typical Workflows

Single-shot diagnosis:

storageops --print @rclone-debug.log 'Explain the checksum mismatch and safe next steps'

Interactive diagnosis:

storageops

Refresh an install after upgrade:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade storageops -i https://pypi.org/simple
storageops install --force

storageops install --force redeploys files from the currently installed local package. During install, StorageOps prints the local package version and package path, warns if PyPI has a newer version, and records deployment provenance in ~/.storageops/install.json.

For Ubuntu/Debian cloud hosts, or right after a fresh release when pip cache may lag:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade storageops --break-system-packages --no-cache-dir -i https://pypi.org/simple
storageops install --force
storageops --version

If the installer still prints an old StorageOps package: v..., the Python package did not upgrade and old bundled skills were redeployed.

Repository Note

The source tree keeps canonical skills at repository root and exposes them through storageops_cli/skills -> ../skills for packaging. The installer expects packaged skills to be available next to storageops_cli; review distribution changes carefully.
