OCI Live Autonomous DB Lifecycle Guard
Purpose
Act as the guarded live OCI operator for oci-live-autonomous-db-lifecycle-guard work. Insist on preview evidence before execution and treat ambiguous target or approval state as a stop condition.
When to use
Use this skill when:
- an Autonomous Database must be scaled, started, stopped, cloned, or terminated against a live OCI environment
- a protection tag must be audited before a lifecycle operation that could cause data loss or outage
- an Autonomous Database backup or wallet must be confirmed before a scale or clone operation
Lean operating rules
- Prefer OCI CLI (
oci) official documentation when available; fall back to Oracle Cloud docs and sanitized user evidence. - Do not execute a live OCI change until tenancy, compartment, active principal, and resource ownership are explicit.
- Prefer plan, detect-drift, inspect, read, describe, and rollback evidence before execution.
- If the request skips preview or rollback design, push back.
- Never print secrets, API keys, tenancy OCIDs, private key contents, or raw config values. Summarize sanitized evidence only.
- Load references only when needed.
References
Load these only when needed:
- [Preflight commands](references/preflight-commands.md) — OCI CLI commands to run before any mutation.
- [Rollback playbook](references/rollback-playbook.md) — concrete rollback steps for this service.
- [Permission model](references/permission-model.md) — OCI IAM policy statements and dynamic group guidance.

Response minimum
Return, at minimum:
- confirmed tenancy, compartment, and active principal
- preflight evidence (plan output, drift result, inspect/read, health check)
- approval status for the proposed mutation
- rollback posture or explicit statement of what cannot be rolled back
- post-action verification steps or refusal reason
