  • Backend & APIs work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Discovery, Interaction, Principle and Remember
  • Calls podman, curl and jq

What it does

Service Explorer is an agent skill from bolivian-peru/os-moda. Discover and interact with ANY service running on the system. Not pre-programmed per-service. Discovers dynamically. Read configs, hit APIs, parse logs. Figure it out.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 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 Backend & APIs. 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

  • Backend & APIs work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/service-explorer”

Requirements

  • Docker

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • podman
    • curl
    • jq
    • redis-cli
    • psql

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Service Explorer loads about 500 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 139 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~500

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.

Service Explorer Skill

You can discover and interact with any service on this system. You are not limited to pre-built integrations.

Discovery

List all running services
system_query({ query: "services" })
Find what's listening on which ports

Check ss -tlnp for all listening TCP sockets with the process that owns them.

Read a service's configuration

For NixOS services: check the relevant NixOS module options. For config files: read /etc/<service>/config or similar.

Read a service's logs
journalctl -u <service-name> -n 100 --output=json

Interaction

HTTP/REST APIs

If a service exposes an HTTP API on localhost:

bash
curl -s http://localhost:<port>/ | jq .
curl -s http://localhost:<port>/api/v1/health | jq .

Explore endpoints. Read API docs if available.

Databases
bash
# PostgreSQL
psql -U postgres -c "SELECT datname FROM pg_database;"

# Redis
redis-cli PING
redis-cli INFO
Docker/Podman
bash
podman ps -a --format json
podman logs <container>
podman stats --no-stream --format json

Principle

You don't need a pre-built plugin for every service. You have full system access. Read configs. Hit APIs. Parse logs. Figure it out. Discover. Explore. Report back to the user.

Remember

When you discover a new service or learn how to interact with it, store that knowledge:

memory_store({
  summary: "Discovered Prometheus on port 9090",
  detail: "Prometheus running at localhost:9090. API at /api/v1/. Key endpoints: /query, /targets, /alerts. Configured to scrape node_exporter and agentd.",
  category: "system.service",
  tags: ["prometheus", "monitoring", "discovery"]
})
