What it does

Homelab Admin is an agent skill from ChrisTitusTech/titus-ai. Operate homelab infrastructure spanning networking, DNS, storage, NFS, reverse proxies, or multiple services. Use for cross-system work rather than an isolated host, application, or container problem.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Cloud networking.

When your agent uses it

  • Cross-system work rather than an isolated host
  • Container problem

Example prompts

  • “/homelab-admin”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Map the affected hosts, clients, network paths, storage dependencies, and
  2. Route an isolated Linux, Forgejo, or Podman problem to its narrower skill;
  3. For authorized changes, determine impact and prepare rollback. Before
  4. Validate the affected service, network, storage, and client paths. Inspect

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 162d624. 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:

    • curl

    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

Homelab Admin loads about 436 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 179 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~436

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 179 words (~436 tokens).
