Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No credential access: failed

    Touches credential material in 39 places.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

    What it found (3 of 39)

    • skills/ssh/SKILL.md:24SSH private keys or config
      ssh -i ~/.ssh/my_key user@hostname
    • skills/ssh/SKILL.md:103SSH private keys or config
      IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myserver_key
    • skills/ssh/SKILL.md:119SSH private keys or config
      ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/%r@%h-%p

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned dicklesworthstone/agent_flywheel_clawdbot_skills_and_integrations at 4d332440c3.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The ssh skill enables AI agents to establish secure shell connections to remote servers, allowing them to execute commands and manage systems directly. It facilitates seamless interaction with cloud infrastructure and on-premise machines for deployment, monitoring, and maintenance tasks.

When to use it

  • Deploying code updates or configuration changes to production environments without manual intervention.
  • Running diagnostic scripts to troubleshoot server performance or network connectivity issues.
  • Automating routine administrative tasks like log rotation, user management, or file synchronization across multiple hosts.
  • Executing complex multi-step workflows that require direct terminal access on remote Linux systems.

Key capabilities

  • Initiates secure SSH sessions to specified remote hosts using provided credentials.
  • Executes arbitrary shell commands within the connected remote environment.
  • Supports command chaining and output retrieval for immediate processing by the agent.

Example prompts

  • "Connect to my staging server at staging.example.com and restart the web service if it's not running."
  • "Run a disk usage analysis on /var/log and send me a summary of the largest files found."
  • "Deploy the latest version of the application by pulling changes from git and restarting the container on the remote host."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has valid SSH keys or credentials configured in its environment before attempting connections, as authentication failures will block execution. Be cautious when granting agents permission to run arbitrary commands, especially those with elevated privileges like sudo, to prevent unintended system modifications.
