What it does
Ssh Remote Connection is an agent skill from artwist-polyakov/polyakov-claude-skills. SSH connection to remote servers. Use when you need to execute commands on a remote server, check logs, restart services, or manage Docker containers.
Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/connect.sh`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers. It works with Docker and Git. The repository describes itself as: Набор скиллов для Claude. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- You need to execute commands on a remote server
- Restart services
- Manage Docker containers
Example prompts
- “/ssh-remote-connection”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
- Docker
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Copy config template
- Fill in config/.env with actual values
- Make script executable
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b86e36d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
dockergit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
SSH_KEY_PASSWORDSSH_PASSWORD
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Ssh Remote Connection loads about 615 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 171 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:26
cp config/.env.example config/.env - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:29
2. Fill in `config/.env` with actual values
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SSH Remote Connection
Universal skill for connecting to remote servers via SSH.
Usage
# Interactive shell
scripts/connect.sh
# Run command directly
scripts/connect.sh "docker compose logs backend --tail 50"Setup
For Claude Code (local)
Copy config template:
bash cp config/.env.example config/.envFill in
config/.envwith actual valuesKey-based authentication:
bash SSH_HOST=your-server.example.com SSH_USER=ubuntu SSH_AUTH_METHOD=key SSH_KEY_PATH=/absolute/path/to/private/key SSH_KEY_PASSWORD= SERVER_PROJECT_PATH=/path/to/projectPassword-based authentication:
bash SSH_HOST=your-server.example.com SSH_USER=ubuntu SSH_AUTH_METHOD=password SSH_PASSWORD='your account password' SERVER_PROJECT_PATH=/path/to/projectMake script executable:
bash chmod +x scripts/connect.sh
For Cloud Runtime
Set environment variables in your cloud configuration:
SSH_HOST— server hostname or IPSSH_USER— SSH usernameSSH_PORT— SSH port (optional)SSH_AUTH_METHOD—auto,key, orpassword(optional, defaults toauto)SSH_KEY_PATH— path to private key for key authenticationSSH_KEY_PASSWORD— key passphrase (optional)SSH_PASSWORD— SSH account password for password authenticationSERVER_PROJECT_PATH— project directory on server
For password authentication, the local runtime must have either sshpass or expect.
If the host key is not trusted yet, connect once manually or add the host to known_hosts
before running non-interactive commands.
Important Notes
- Git operations: Do NOT run
git pullon the server. User will handle git sync manually. - Code location: Code is in a private repo, changes must be pushed first then pulled by user.
- Docker: Use
docker compose(notdocker-compose) on the server.
Example Commands
# View logs
scripts/connect.sh "docker compose logs backend --tail 100"
# Restart service
scripts/connect.sh "docker compose restart backend"
# Rebuild and restart
scripts/connect.sh "docker compose build backend && docker compose up -d backend"
# Check status
scripts/connect.sh "docker compose ps"© artwist-polyakov, MIT. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file
