vps-ops-toolkit

vps-ops-toolkit is a skill for Claude Code from KhaledSaeed18/dotclaude. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,031 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of VPS operating tools for automated health checks, change-based alerts, and encrypted database backups that are tested by restoring them. A VPS is a rented virtual server; the tools are installed from the API repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add monitoring, webhook alerts, log rotation, and restore-verified encrypted database backups to a VPS.
Why use it?
It reduces dependence on a person noticing failures and avoids treating an untested backup as recoverable. Alerts only report changes, while the backup design keeps the private decryption key off the server.

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 B, and why

vps-ops-toolkit scanned grade B 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (templates/ops/backup/backup.sh, templates/ops/health/health-check.sh, templates/ops/install.sh, …), 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.

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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

A server is operated when something other than a person notices a problem and when the database can be rebuilt from a copy that was proven to restore. The toolkit lives in the API repository under ops/, is installed by one command, and reports through a webhook only when the set of problems changes.

Hard rules: never break these

  • Installing or changing cron, logrotate or anything under /etc is a production action. The owner authorises ship.sh; you prepare and review it.
  • A backup that was not restored is not a backup. Keep only archives whose restore fingerprint matched the source snapshot. Nothing is kept from a failed run.
  • The server holds only the public encryption key. The private key stays with the owner, offline; a compromised server cannot read old backups.
  • Alerts only on change. Every run logs; the webhook fires when a problem appears, persists with a change, or resolves. No heartbeat spam.
  • Never store webhook URLs or keys in the repository. They live in /etc/<prefix>-*.env, mode 600, created once from the examples and never overwritten by the installer.

Step 1: Fit the templates to the project

Copy templates/ops/ into the repository as ops/ and rename the app prefix (app-ops, app-health, app-backup) to the project's name in install.sh, the cron files, the logrotate file and the env examples. The files:

File Role
lib/alert.sh one Discord embed per alert, colour by severity, fields, length limits
health/health-check.sh services, Coolify resources by label, capacity, backup age, certificate verification per domain, readiness, pending reboot; state in /var/lib, alert on change
backup/backup.sh with snapshot.sql and fingerprint.sql one-snapshot pg_dump plus roles, restore into a throwaway Postgres with no network, fingerprint diff, age encryption, local and optional git offsite retention
install.sh idempotent root installer: scripts, schedules, logrotate, env files created only when missing, a pre-deploy backup profile, one health run
ship.sh tar the folder over SSH and run the installer with sudo

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.
