host-ssh is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Elumenotion/GuideAnts. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,483 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for running PowerShell commands on a remote Windows machine over SSH, a secure way to access another computer's command line.

In plain words
What is it for?
Managing drives, .NET, Playwright, and running or inspecting processes.
Why use it?
It lets you perform Windows host tasks when the machine is not directly part of your workspace.

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

host-ssh 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/host_ssh.py, scripts/preflight.py, scripts/ssh_common.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 218 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Host SSH (Windows PowerShell)

Sandbox paths — authoritative, do not discover

Your system context includes a file list ([@files] / context options). That list, plus the rules below, fully defines what exists and where. Do not run pwd, find, ls /, cd /home, or any other command to discover paths. Exploration wastes turns and breaks working-directory assumptions.

SANDBOX CWD is already the notebook output directory (private notebooks: the Output/ folder). Every run_bash / run_python call starts there.

Rule Do Never
Skill scripts python3 Skills/host-ssh/scripts/host_ssh.py … Output/Skills/…, /app/…, /home/…
Deliverables bare filenames in CWD prefix Output/ in commands
Change directory stay in CWD cd /home, cd Output, cd before skill commands
Inputs in the file list use the exact path shown (../repo/…, Skills/…, bare names) guess, probe, or re-derive
Host repo edits edit via mounted paths in the file list (bash heredoc) run_python one-liners that embed \ or \\

If Skills/host-ssh/scripts/host_ssh.py appears in the file list, run it as written from CWD. If a path is in the list, the file exists — trust the list.

Host setup (OpenSSH, guide Environment variables) is in the operator README bundled with this skill or samples/skills/host-ssh skills/README.md on the repo. Missing GA_HOST_SSH_* env vars → stop and tell the user to set them in the guide editor; do not scan or guess credentials.

Machines — the guide Environment is the source of truth

GA_SSH_MACHINES (JSON array in the guide Environment) declares which machines this guide can reach. Run host_ssh.py machines to list them — never guess a host or IP. When no --machine is given, the record with "default": true is the target. When GA_SSH_MACHINES is absent, the legacy single machine from GA_HOST_SSH_HOST is the default (named host).

  {"name": "office", "host": "host.docker.internal", "default": true,
   "share": {"unc": "\\\\FILESERVER\\content", "user": "DOMAIN\\GuideAnts", "drive": "R"}},

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.

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.
