SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up research workstations for graduate students involves repetitive SSH environment configuration, scattered tool setup, and unverifiable handoffs. This Skill standardizes the entire onboarding flow with a hard SSH connectivity precondition and a written acceptance report. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Remote Linux Workstation Setup: Verifies SSH connectivity as a hard precondition, then generates a one-command codex launcher script (~/codex-vllm.sh) with all environment variables and default parameters encapsulated. - Student Onboarding Documents: Produces START_HERE.md first-login guidance plus a training plan with research directions and milestones. - Windows Portable Package Builder: Uses scripts/build-offline.sh to download Python, Node.js, uv, and Hermes source once and package them into a self-contained offline zip requiring no internet or runtime installation. - Verifiable Acceptance: Generates WORK_CHECK_REPORT.md as the sole written proof of environment readiness; refuses to claim readiness without it. - Use Case: A lab advisor onboards a new graduate student by providing the remote host address and a software list, receiving a complete environment with launcher script, onboarding docs, and an acceptance report. ## Quick Start Set up the workstation at ssh [email protected]:2222 with codex and obsidian, and generate the onboarding documents and work check report.

Frequently Asked Questions about workstation-onboarding

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a remote Linux workstation for a new graduate student?▼

Provide the remote host SSH address and a software list. The skill first verifies SSH connectivity, then generates a one-command codex launcher script, a START_HERE.md login guide, a training plan, and a WORK_CHECK_REPORT.md acceptance report.

How to build an offline portable software package for Windows?▼

Run scripts/build-offline.sh with an output directory. It downloads Python 3.11 standalone, Node.js 22 LTS, uv, and the Hermes source once, then packages everything into a self-contained zip that runs without internet or runtime installation.

What happens if the SSH connection to the workstation fails?▼

The skill refuses to create any environment files when SSH connectivity verification fails, treating it as a hard precondition. It outputs recovery suggestions such as checking network reachability, port availability, and credentials before retrying.

Does the Windows portable package require installing runtimes?▼

No. The package is zero-dependency green software: Python, Node.js, and uv are bundled inside the zip, so students never install runtimes or libraries on their Windows machines.

How is environment readiness verified after onboarding?▼

Readiness is proven only by a generated WORK_CHECK_REPORT.md whose checklist covers SSH connectivity, codex launcher startup, and software list placement. Verbal claims of readiness without this report are not accepted.
