What it does

Vps Server Management is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Manage authorized VPS hosts and server-side agents through cautious SSH and operations workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 890 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Backend development. It works with n8n. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Backend development

Example prompts

  • “/vps-server-management”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. App login — e.g. app.example.hstgr.cloud. Build/edit workflows, no server access. Safest to share.
  2. VPS SSH — root@. Docker, files, system config. Trusted technical people only.
  3. Hostinger hPanel — hpanel.hostinger.com. Billing, reboot, OS reinstall. Exposes SSH creds + browser terminal, so it grants server access…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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:

    • codex

    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

Vps Server Management loads about 889 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 369 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~889

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:65
    el.provider` + `model.default` — NOT in `.env`. Change via `hermes model` (interactive) or edit the yaml directly, then

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.

VPS Server Management

When to Use

  • Use when the user asks to operate an authorized VPS or agent running on a remote host.
  • Use when SSH, deployment, restart, status, or log inspection is needed with explicit permission.

Source of truth: library/infrastructure.md (read it for the latest — IPs/expirations change).

Servers (Hostinger VPS) — 3 total

HostnameIPOSPurposeExpires
openclaw-server<IP>Ubuntu 24.04 (Dokploy)OpenClaw — personal instance<expiry>
n8n-server<IP>Ubuntu 24.04 (n8n)All n8n workflow automations (primary)<expiry>
hermes-server<IP>Ubuntu 24.04Hermes Agent — Discord gateway (Vilnius, LT)<expiry>

SSH as root@<IP>.

Access levels (never share higher than needed)

  1. App login — e.g. app.example.hstgr.cloud. Build/edit workflows, no server access. Safest to share.
  2. VPS SSH — root@<IP>. Docker, files, system config. Trusted technical people only.
  3. Hostinger hPanel — hpanel.hostinger.com. Billing, reboot, OS reinstall. Exposes SSH creds + browser terminal, so it grants server access too. The user only.

Managing a VPS via an agent

For multi-step or exploratory work, SSH into the box first and launch the agent ON the VPS (e.g. codex --yolo), then talk to that local-on-server agent — it has full filesystem/process context and avoids fragile SSH round-trips. For short command sequences (update, config change, restart), driving an existing SSH session directly (e.g. via a cmux pane) is fine.

When checking on a remote/on-box agent, send the user one concise status line each time: what it is doing and whether it is on track.

Claude Code cmux note: after Claude finishes, it may prefill a predicted next user message; that draft is Claude, not the user speaking.

Agents on servers

  • OpenClaw → openclaw-server (managed via Dokploy).
  • Hermes → hermes-server (Discord gateway). Setup/config docs in library/hermes/.
  • n8n → n8n-server.

Hermes ops (on hermes-server)

bash
hermes --version            # shows version + commits behind
hermes update               # auto-snapshots, updates deps, rebuilds web UI, restarts gateway itself
hermes gateway status|restart
journalctl --user -u hermes-gateway --since '5 min ago' --no-pager   # gateway logs (systemd USER service)
  • Default model lives in ~/.hermes/config.yaml under model.provider + model.default — NOT in .env. Change via hermes model (interactive) or edit the yaml directly, then hermes gateway restart to propagate to gateways.
  • npm EBADENGINE warnings during update (deps want Node >=24, box runs v22) are non-blocking — do not "fix" them.
  • Deeper docs (Discord/Slack/WhatsApp setup, file structure, vision config): library/hermes/.

Limitations

  • Adapted from davidondrej/skills; verify local paths, tools, credentials, and agent features before acting.
  • For commands, remote access, scheduling, browser automation, or file-changing workflows, get explicit user approval and confirm the target environment first.
