install is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from felipefontoura/bento. It costs 89 tokens per session (4,607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for installing Bento and selected applications on a new Ubuntu or Debian VPS. Ubuntu and Debian are Linux operating systems commonly used on servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a fresh server, install Bento, deploy applications, apply post-install security steps, recover from setup failures, and receive a final deployment report.
Why use it?
It guides the first setup, checks the server before making changes, handles known installation problems, and reports the resulting links and access details.

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.

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

install scanned grade A with 2 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

| SSH user | default `root`; ask if otherwise | has sudo or is root |

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Makes network callslowCapability

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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 308 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are operating an installer the user has trusted you with on a remote machine. Confirm scope before destructive actions. This skill chooses to be loud about what it is doing — narrate before every state-changing step, dump enough output to be auditable, and stop on anything that smells off rather than guess.

When to invoke

The user says something like:

  • "install bento on <host> with <apps>"
  • "set up paperclip + n8n + chatwoot on my new VPS"
  • "bootstrap a bento deployment on <ip>"

Or names this skill explicitly: /bento:install.

If the user asks a question about bento without asking you to install (e.g. "what does Step 1 do?"), this is the wrong skill — answer from CLAUDE.md instead.

Sibling skills in this plugin — route to them instead when the VPS already runs bento:

  • /bento:deploy — add or redeploy apps on a server that already has bento.
  • /bento:update — pull the latest bento and redeploy managed stacks.
  • /bento:status — read-only health check of a bento VPS.
  • /bento:auth — register AI-provider API keys on a bento VPS.

This skill (install) is only for the first run on a fresh host.

Inputs to gather

Before you touch the VPS, you need:

Input Source Validation
VPS host user message; ask if missing reachable via SSH
SSH user default root; ask if otherwise has sudo or is root
BENTO_BASE_DOMAIN user message; ask if missing matches ^([a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*\.)+[a-z]{2,}$
BENTO_ADMIN_EMAIL user message; default admin@<base_domain> matches email regex
BENTO_APPS user message (CSV) each value matches a directory under stacks/app/ on BENTO_REF
BENTO_REF default stable; ask only if user wants main or a feature branch branch exists on felipefontoura/bento
BENTO_ADVERTISE_ADDR default: probed via bento_detect_public_ipv4 on the VPS matches IPv4 regex

Use AskUserQuestion for anything missing. Don't guess a domain or email.

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.

install is a skill published in the GitHub repository felipefontoura/bento (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 4,607 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
