What it does

App Deployer is an agent skill from bolivian-peru/os-moda. Deploy and manage user applications as managed systemd services

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Linux administration. It works with Linux. The repository describes itself as: An operating system built for AI agents — talk to your NixOS server instead of SSH-ing in. Typed, audited tool access with atomic rollback on every change. Research-grade; run it… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Linux administration

Example prompts

“/app-deployer”

Requirements

Python 3
Node.js
Docker

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Understand — Ask what to deploy. Determine the command, working directory, environment variables, and resource requirements.
Deploy — Use app_deploy with appropriate parameters. Default isolation uses DynamicUser=yes (ephemeral UID, no root).
Verify — Use app_list to confirm the app is running. Check app_logs for startup output.
Store — Use memory_store to remember what was deployed and why.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b8e418f. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

App Deployer loads about 774 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 302 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~774

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

App Deployer

Deploy and manage user applications (Node.js apps, Python scripts, Go binaries, Docker-less containers, etc.) as first-class managed processes on the OS.

Deploy Workflow

Understand — Ask what to deploy. Determine the command, working directory, environment variables, and resource requirements.
Deploy — Use app_deploy with appropriate parameters. Default isolation uses DynamicUser=yes (ephemeral UID, no root).
Verify — Use app_list to confirm the app is running. Check app_logs for startup output.
Store — Use memory_store to remember what was deployed and why.

Example

User: "Deploy my Node.js API at /home/user/api"

1. app_deploy({
     name: "user-api",
     command: "/usr/bin/node",
     args: ["server.js"],
     working_dir: "/home/user/api",
     env: { NODE_ENV: "production", PORT: "3000" },
     port: 3000,
     memory_max: "256M",
     user: "user"
   })
2. app_list() → confirm running, check PID
3. app_logs({ name: "user-api", lines: 20 }) → verify startup
4. memory_store({ summary: "Deployed user-api Node.js app", ... })

Managing Apps

Status: app_list shows all apps with live systemd state, PID, memory, CPU usage
Logs: app_logs pulls from journald — supports --since, --priority, line limits
Restart: app_restart — if the unit is active, calls systemctl restart. If inactive, re-deploys from registry
Stop: app_stop — stops the unit, marks as stopped in registry (preserved for restart)
Remove: app_remove — stops and permanently deletes from registry

Resource Limits

Apps run under systemd cgroups. Available limits:

Parameter	Example	Effect
`memory_max`	`"256M"`, `"1G"`	Hard memory cap via MemoryMax=
`cpu_quota`	`"50%"`, `"200%"`	CPU time limit (200% = 2 cores)

Isolation

Default (DynamicUser=yes): App runs as an ephemeral system user. No root, no access to other users' files. Best for self-contained binaries and services.
Named user (user: "username"): App runs as the specified user. Use when the app needs to read/write files owned by that user (e.g., /home/user/data).

Boot Persistence

Apps are registered in /var/lib/osmoda/apps/registry.json. The osmoda-app-restore service re-creates all running apps as transient systemd units on boot. Apps marked as stopped are not restored.

Best Practices

Always specify memory_max for production apps to prevent OOM issues
Use port parameter for discovery — system_discover will find the app
Use named user when the app needs filesystem access beyond its own binary
Check app_logs after deploy to catch startup errors immediately
Use app_restart (not stop + deploy) to preserve the same configuration
