Cloudinary Cli

Upload files and images to Cloudinary via CLI. Use when user wants to upload local files or images to Cloudinary CDN, especially when needing automatic image...

Cloudinary CLI Uploader

Upload local files or remote URLs to Cloudinary with automatic image compression support.

Workflow

1. Check Installation

Check if the CLI binary exists at ./cloudinary-cli (project root). If not, run the install script:

bash .agents/skills/cloudinary-cli/scripts/install.sh

If Go is not installed, prompt the user to install Go first.

2. Check Configuration (.env)

Check if cmd/cli/.env exists and contains all required variables. If any are missing, prompt the user for the missing values and write them to cmd/cli/.env.

Required variables:

• CLOUDINARY_CLOUD - Cloudinary cloud name
• CLOUDINARY_KEY - API key
• CLOUDINARY_SECRET - API secret

Optional variables:

• CLOUDINARY_DIRECTORY - Upload folder (default: root)
• CLOUDINARY_COMPRESS - Auto-compress images: true/false (default: true)

3. Upload Files

Run the upload script with file paths:

bash .agents/skills/cloudinary-cli/scripts/upload.sh <file1> [file2] ...

Or run the CLI directly:

cd cmd/cli && ../../cloudinary-cli file1.jpg file2.png

The CLI automatically:

• Compresses images when CLOUDINARY_COMPRESS=true
• Leaves non-image files untouched
• Supports both local paths and remote URLs

Image Compression

When CLOUDINARY_COMPRESS is true (default), images are uploaded with Cloudinary q_auto transformation for automatic quality optimization. Supported image formats: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, bmp, tiff, svg, ico, heic, heif, avif.

To disable compression for a specific upload, temporarily set CLOUDINARY_COMPRESS=false in .env.
