SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill keeps remote VPS work safe by validating the SSH alias, environment, and preflight checks so agents never run commands on the wrong host or without required setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SSH gatekeeping that scans the home SSH configuration for the requested host alias before initiating any remote action, and prompts the user if the alias is missing.
  • Remote execution workflow that enforces SSH_AUTH_SOCK and ControlMaster checks, logs commands, and transfers larger scripts with scp plus logging so sudo steps stay user-managed.
  • Reference-based guidance on base-setup security hardening, extra feature installs such as BBR, EasyTier, Caddy, and error pages, plus comprehensive quality-check procedures for bandwidth, IP risk, and latency.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to verify the SSH host alias, run the preflight checks, and then execute the requested remote operation.
