Automated safety checks
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 18 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.

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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill allows an AI agent to generate and modify SSH configuration files. It can create configurations for connecting to remote servers, manage key forwarding, and configure various SSH options. The agent can also help troubleshoot existing SSH configurations by identifying potential issues or suggesting improvements.
When to use it
- Automating the setup of new development environments with secure SSH access.
- Generating SSH configuration files for jump hosts or bastion servers.
- Troubleshooting connection problems and optimizing existing SSH setups.
- Creating scripts that automatically configure SSH keys for multiple users.
Key capabilities
- Generate basic SSH configurations
- Manage key forwarding settings
- Configure various SSH options
Example prompts
- "Create an SSH configuration file to connect to
[email protected]." - "Add a line to my SSH config to forward agent forwarding for user
deploy." - “Generate an ssh config that uses the identity file located at
/home/user/.ssh/my_key”
Tips & gotchas
The skill assumes basic familiarity with SSH configuration syntax. Incorrect configurations can lead to connection issues, so always review generated files before deploying them.
