  • Works in 8 steps: Understand the request → Read current config → Generate the NixOS module → …

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Natural Language Config is an agent skill from bolivian-peru/os-moda. Translate natural language requests into NixOS configuration changes. Show diffs before applying. Use nixos-rebuild for atomic deploys. Every change is rollbackable and logged.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 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. 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

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/natural-language-config”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Understand the request
  2. Read current config
  3. Generate the NixOS module
  4. Show the diff to the user
  5. Wait for approval
  6. Apply atomically
  7. Verify
  8. Log everything

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

Natural Language Config loads about 761 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 223 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~761

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.

Natural Language NixOS Config Skill

Users describe what they want in plain English. You write the NixOS config.

Workflow

  1. Understand the request "Set up PostgreSQL with nightly backups" "Install and configure Caddy as a reverse proxy for port 3000" "Enable fail2ban to block brute force SSH"

  2. Read current config

    file_read({ path: "/etc/nixos/configuration.nix" })
  3. Generate the NixOS module Write idiomatic NixOS configuration. Use services.*, networking.*, security.* etc. Prefer declarative NixOS options over imperative scripts.

  4. Show the diff to the user Present EXACTLY what will change. Use a code block with +/- diff markers. Explain each change in plain English.

  5. Wait for approval NEVER apply changes without user confirmation. "Here's what I'll add to your NixOS config. Apply it? [Y/n]"

  6. Apply atomically

    shell_exec({ command: "nixos-rebuild switch" })
  7. Verify Check the service started correctly.

    service_status({ service: "postgresql" })
  8. Log everything

    memory_store({
      summary: "Installed PostgreSQL with nightly pg_dump backups",
      detail: "Added services.postgresql, services.postgresqlBackup to configuration.nix. Generation 49.",
      category: "system.config",
      tags: "nixos,postgresql,config-change"
    })

NixOS Config Conventions

  • Configuration goes in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix or imported modules
  • Use mkIf, mkOption, mkDefault when extending existing config
  • Prefer services.X.enable = true; patterns
  • For packages: add to environment.systemPackages
  • For firewall: networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts
  • For users: users.users.X

Example Interaction

User: "Set up nginx to serve a static site from /var/www"

Response:

I'll add nginx to your NixOS config. Here's the change:

  services.nginx = {
    enable = true;
    virtualHosts."default" = {
      root = "/var/www";
      locations."/" = {
        index = "index.html";
      };
    };
  };
  networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 80 443 ];

This will:
- Install and start nginx
- Serve /var/www on port 80
- Open ports 80 and 443 in the firewall

Apply this? The change is atomic and rollbackable.

Rollback

If a rebuild breaks something:

shell_exec({ command: "nixos-rebuild switch --rollback" })

Then investigate what went wrong.

Critical rules

  • ALWAYS show the diff before applying
  • ALWAYS wait for user approval
  • ALWAYS verify after rebuild
  • NEVER edit /etc/nixos files without reading them first
  • Store every config change in memory for time-travel debugging
