tailscale

tailscale is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Arvo-AI/aurora. It costs 28 tokens per session (781 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Tailscale connection for managing devices on a private network called a tailnet, including SSH access to those devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
List, inspect, authorize, remove, and tag devices; run commands over SSH to check uptime, Docker containers, or disk space.
Why use it?
It helps you reach and manage existing computers securely without setting up a separate cloud network.

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 A, and why

tailscale 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 5d 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.

Tailscale Integration

Overview

Tailscale is a mesh VPN/network provider. It connects your devices into a secure private network called a 'tailnet'. Unlike cloud providers (GCP, AWS, Azure), Tailscale doesn't provision infrastructure - it networks existing devices.

Instructions

DEVICE MANAGEMENT

  • List all devices: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'device list')
  • Get device details: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'device get <DEVICE_ID>')
  • Authorize a device: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'device authorize <DEVICE_ID>')
  • Delete a device: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'device delete <DEVICE_ID>')
  • Set device tags: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'device tag <DEVICE_ID> tag:server')

SSH ACCESS (execute commands on devices)

  • Run command on device: tailscale_ssh('hostname', 'command', 'user')
  • Example - check uptime: tailscale_ssh('myserver', 'uptime', 'root')
  • Example - docker status: tailscale_ssh('web-prod', 'docker ps', 'admin')
  • Example - disk usage: tailscale_ssh('database-1', 'df -h', 'ubuntu')
  • SETUP REQUIRED: User must add Aurora's SSH public key to target devices (Get key from Settings > Tailscale > SSH Setup)
  • Targets must have SSH server running (Linux: sshd, macOS: Remote Login)
  • If 'Permission denied' error: remind user to add Aurora's SSH key to the device

AUTH KEYS (for adding devices programmatically)

  • List auth keys: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'key list')
  • Create auth key: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'key create --ephemeral --reusable --tags tag:server')
  • Delete auth key: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'key delete <KEY_ID>')

ACL (Access Control Lists)

  • Get current ACL: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'acl get')
  • Update ACL: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'acl set <ACL_JSON>')

DNS & NETWORK

  • Get DNS settings: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'dns get')
  • List subnet routes: cloud_exec('tailscale', 'routes list')

KEY CONCEPTS

  • Tailnet: Your private Tailscale network
  • Device: Any machine connected to your tailnet
  • Tags: Labels for devices (must start with 'tag:' prefix)
  • Auth Key: Token to add devices programmatically
  • ACL: Access Control List for device communication

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.

tailscale is a skill published in the GitHub repository Arvo-AI/aurora (404 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 781 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
