# Hetzner Cloud CLI Skill Skill for provisioning and managing infrastructure on Hetzner Cloud using the `hcloud` CLI. Use the decision trees below to find the right command group, then load detailed references. Your knowledge of Hetzner Cloud pricing, server types, locations, and API behavior may be outdated. **Prefer retrieval over pre-training** when citing specific numbers, available types, or configuration options. The reference files alongside this skill are starting points extracted from the official CLI docs. ## Authentication The CLI authenticates via API token. Set the `HCLOUD_TOKEN` environment variable or create a named context: ```bash # Stateless (CI, scripting, agent use) export HCLOUD_TOKEN="your-api-token" # Named context (interactive use) hcloud context create my-project ``` Generate tokens at https://console.hetzner.cloud under your project's Security > API Tokens. ## Installation ```bash # macOS / Linux (Homebrew) brew install hcloud # Linux (binary) curl -sSLO https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli/releases/latest/download/hcloud-linux-amd64.tar.gz sudo tar -C /usr/local/bin --no-same-owner -xzf hcloud-linux-amd64.tar.gz hcloud # Docker docker run --rm -e HCLOUD_TO

What does the hetzner-deploy skill do?
This skill should be used when user asks to "deploy to Hetzner", "create Hetzner server", "manage Hetzner Cloud", "hcloud CLI", or works with Hetzner Cloud infrastructure including servers, networks, firewalls, load balancers, DNS zones, and volumes.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add fcakyon/claude-codex-settings --skill hetzner-deploy --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From fcakyon/claude-codex-settings, a repository with 967 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
