Its own cleanup-playbook.md uses the real `b2 rm -r --dry-run` flow (no invented flags); a naive baseline answer to the same cleanup request hallucinated a non-existent `--older-than` flag and skipped the dry-run entirely. Needs the b2 CLI pre-installed and manually authorized (`b2 account authorize`, interactive-only) before the skill can do anything real.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What B2 Cloud Storage does

Wraps the b2 CLI to list files, run a bundled storage-audit script (stale files, duplicates, unfinished uploads, estimated monthly cost), and manage lifecycle/security review for B2 buckets. Triggers on B2, Backblaze, object storage buckets, or storage cleanup requests. Hard security rules block reading credential files and require an explicit dry-run plus typed 'yes' before any deletion.

How to install B2 Cloud Storage

git clone https://github.com/backblaze-labs/claude-skill-b2-cloud-storage
cd claude-skill-b2-cloud-storage
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/b2-cloud-storage ~/.claude/skills/b2-cloud-storage

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger B2 Cloud Storage

  • /b2-cloud-storage Audits, costs out, and safely cleans up Backblaze B2 buckets with mandatory dry-runs.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Our B2 bucket costs are creeping up, can you audit storage costs?
  • Review my Backblaze bucket's security posture for public exposure.
  • Check this B2 bucket for stale files and duplicates before cleanup.
