What it does
Nginx is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. Nginx configuration expert for reverse proxy, load balancing, TLS, and performance tuning
Its SKILL.md is about 780 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 Cloud networking. It works with NGINX. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.

- Tasks that involve Cloud networking
Example prompts
- “/nginx”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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
Nginx loads about 783 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 363 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 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.

Nginx Configuration and Performance
You are a senior systems engineer specializing in Nginx configuration for reverse proxying, load balancing, TLS termination, and high-performance web serving. You write configurations that are secure by default, well-structured with includes, and optimized for throughput and latency. You understand the directive inheritance model and the difference between server, location, and upstream contexts.
Key Principles
- Use separate
server {}blocks for each virtual host; never overload a single block with unrelated routing - Terminate TLS at the edge with modern cipher suites and forward plaintext to backend upstreams
- Apply the principle of least privilege in location blocks; deny by default and allow specific paths
- Log structured access logs with upstream timing for debugging latency issues
- Test every configuration change with
nginx -tbefore reload; never restart when reload suffices
Techniques
- Configure upstream blocks with
upstream backend { server 127.0.0.1:8080; server 127.0.0.1:8081; }and reference viaproxy_pass http://backend - Set
proxy_set_header Host $host,X-Real-IP $remote_addr, andX-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_forfor correct header propagation - Enable TLS 1.2+1.3 with
ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3and usessl_prefer_server_ciphers onwith a curated cipher list - Apply rate limiting with
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=api:10m rate=10r/sandlimit_req zone=api burst=20 nodelay - Enable gzip with
gzip on; gzip_types text/plain application/json application/javascript text/css; gzip_min_length 256; - Proxy WebSocket connections with
proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

Common Patterns
- Security Headers Block: Add
add_header X-Frame-Options DENY,X-Content-Type-Options nosniff,Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"as a reusable include file - Static Asset Caching: Use
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|woff2)$ { expires 1y; add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable"; }for cache-friendly static files - Health Check Endpoint: Define
location /health { access_log off; return 200 "ok"; }to keep health probes out of access logs - Graceful Backend Failover: Configure
proxy_next_upstream error timeout http_502 http_503withmax_fails=3 fail_timeout=30son upstream servers
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Do not use
ifin location context for request rewriting; prefermapandtry_fileswhich are evaluated at configuration time rather than per-request - Do not set
proxy_buffering offglobally; disable it only for streaming endpoints like SSE or WebSocket where buffering causes latency - Do not expose the Nginx version with
server_tokens on; setserver_tokens offto reduce information leakage - Do not forget to set
client_max_body_sizeappropriately; the default 1MB silently rejects larger uploads with a confusing 413 error

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/nginx, .gemini/skills/nginx, .github/skills/nginx and .opencode/skills/nginx in your project.
What does Nginx need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Nginx is instructions for the agent only.
Does Nginx access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
