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

proxmox-admin 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 10d 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.

Proxmox VE Operations Expertise

AI Agent Skill: Operational knowledge for managing Proxmox Virtual Environment infrastructure

Overview

This skill provides AI agents with operational expertise for Proxmox VE, covering:

  • VM and LXC lifecycle management - From creation to decommissioning
  • Storage operations - Configuration, content management, backup strategies
  • High Availability - HA groups, resource management, failover
  • Cluster operations - Multi-node management, migration, replication
  • Certificate management - Installation, renewal, ACME integration
  • ACME configuration - Provider setup, certificate ordering, automation
  • Notifications - Target configuration, delivery verification, alerting
  • Troubleshooting - Common issues, API quirks, resolution patterns
  • Security - Permission models, API token best practices
  • Performance - Monitoring, resource optimization

Target audience: AI agents performing day-to-day Proxmox operations, infrastructure automation, or incident response.


Architecture Overview

Proxmox VE Cluster Concepts

Node: Physical server running Proxmox VE

  • Hosts VMs and LXC containers
  • Provides local storage
  • Participates in cluster quorum

Storage: Shared or local storage backends

  • Types: Directory, LVM, ZFS, Ceph, NFS, iSCSI
  • Content types: Images, ISOs, backups, templates
  • Can be node-local or cluster-shared

Networking: Virtual networking infrastructure

  • Linux bridges for VM/LXC connectivity
  • VLANs for network segmentation
  • SDN (Software Defined Networking) for advanced scenarios

Cluster: Group of nodes working together

  • Shared configuration via pmxcfs
  • HA for automatic failover
  • Live migration between nodes

Operations Playbook

1. VM Lifecycle Management

Create → Configure → Monitor → Backup → Delete

Creation
1. Get next available VMID
2. Create VM with basic config (CPU, memory, OS type)
3. Add disk(s) from storage
4. Configure network interface(s)
5. Set boot order
6. Start VM

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.
