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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00067 | $0.02626 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.01050 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00525 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00263 |
Grade A, and why
dell-idrac-bmc-ops scanned grade A 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 1mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dell iDRAC BMC operations
Operating a Dell PowerEdge BMC (iDRAC) headlessly — no monitor, no KVM cart — from cabling through a standardized, current-firmware baseline ready for an unattended OS install. Every command below is copy-pasteable and generalizes across iDRAC 6 (11G) through iDRAC 9 (14G+); where a generation can't reach a step, that's called out rather than left to fail silently.
The one rule that overrides everything else: identify before you act
A BMC name or address answering is zero evidence of which chassis is
behind it. BMC hostnames are commonly keyed by chassis model, not by node
role or number — nothing in a name like idrac-r540 tells you which rack
node it fronts. A successful login proves a BMC exists and accepted your
credential; it says nothing about the hardware behind it.
Before any power action (reset, cycle, off), confirm the chassis serial matches the machine you intend to touch:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H "$BMC" -U root -P "$PW" fru # chassis/product serial
curl -sk "https://$BMC/redfish/v1/" | jq '.Oem.Dell' # ManagerMACAddress, ServiceTag
If the serial doesn't match, or you can't get one, do not issue a power command. This is not theoretical — guessing a BMC name from a node's role has power-cycled the wrong live machine in this exact scenario.
Headless bring-up
-
Skip the front micro-USB port on macOS. iDRAC Direct presents as an RNDIS network adapter; macOS ships no RNDIS driver, so the interface never appears at all. This isn't a cable or driver-install problem — it's a platform gap. Use the dedicated iDRAC RJ-45 port instead.
-
Check whether the BMC is already reachable before touching cables — a subnet sweep for hosts answering HTTPS on the management VLAN, or asking whatever controls that VLAN's DHCP leases which MACs are live.
-
The zero-config fix, if it isn't reachable: move one cable. If a switch port on the management VLAN already exists, plug the dedicated iDRAC NIC into it. iDRAC defaults to DHCP and self-configures — no port profile edit, no console. Give it several minutes to initialize on a cold box, then re-sweep.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

dell-idrac-bmc-ops is a skill published in the GitHub repository dryvist/claude-code-plugins (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 2,626 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
