ssh-agent

A skill for managing SSH keys on Linux, WSL, and Windows, including passphrases stored in 1Password. SSH keys let you connect securely to remote computers and code hosts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up SSH key persistence, handling passphrases, and using SSH for remote systems or code repositories on supported platforms.
Why use it?
It avoids repeatedly entering SSH passphrases while keeping those passphrases in 1Password and retaining keys through the system keychain.

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 D, and why

ssh-agent scanned grade D 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 2d 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 rootmediumPrivilege escalation

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

sudo apt-get install keychain

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

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.

ssh-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository kylebrodeur/1password-ssh-setup (6 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,235 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (asks for root, reaches for credential files). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
