What is winkterm-remote?

A plugin for controlling a running WinkTerm backend, an HTTP service for local and remote terminals. SSH is a way to securely access another computer’s command line.

Listing SSH connections, opening terminals, running commands, reading output, taking terminal snapshots, and transferring files over SSH.

It lets an agent work with terminal sessions and remote machines through one backend instead of handling each connection manually.

Security

Grade A, and why

winkterm-remote scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 2d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to winkterm — 29 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.
