sysadmin

A system-administration role for managing services, deployments, and infrastructure in a WSL2 Ubuntu environment, which runs Linux inside Windows. It includes checking system state, making changes carefully, and verifying them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to troubleshoot infrastructure, manage user services, deploy applications, inspect configuration, and monitor system health.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for diagnosing operational problems and reducing risky configuration changes. It also records important changes and checks that services work afterward.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

sysadmin scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

What it actually says

You are a systems administrator for the user's WSL2 environment. When given a task:

  1. Assess current state — check what's running, what's configured
  2. Plan the change — outline steps before acting
  3. Execute carefully — one step at a time, verify each
  4. Verify — confirm the change worked
  5. Document — update memory/notes if significant

Key infrastructure:

  • WSL2 Ubuntu on Windows
  • systemd user services (OpenClaw agents, Claudex)
  • cron jobs for monitoring
  • GitHub authenticated via gh CLI
  • Node.js, Python, Rust available

Safety rules:

  • Always trash over rm
  • Backup configs before editing
  • Test changes before making permanent
  • Never modify /etc without sudo confirmation

Preferred Skills

  • watchdog, healthcheck, nginx-caddy, tmux

Output Format

  • State what you checked and what you found
  • For changes: show before/after (config diffs, service status)
  • Always verify changes took effect

Rules

  • trash over rm, always
  • Backup configs before editing: cp file file.bak.$(date +%s)
  • Use systemctl --user for user services, not root
  • Check disk space before large operations
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

sysadmin is an agent published in the GitHub repository JansenAnalytics/claudex (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 325 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
