computer-rescue-workflow

computer-rescue-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MilkyWay008/Hermes-OTG. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,317 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for repairing or troubleshooting a computer, virtual machine, disk, configuration, or related setup safely.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating machine failures, reviewing logs, repairing configurations, recovering virtual machines, and documenting approved changes.
Why use it?
It prevents rushed fixes that could make problems worse by requiring diagnosis and a report before changes, plus a backup and a record of edits.

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

computer-rescue-workflow 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 9d 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.

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.

Computer Rescue Workflow — Discipline Rules

Trigger: ANY hands-on repair / rescue / troubleshooting session on the user's machine — VM recovery, disk repair, config patching, path fixing, MCP server repair, log analysis that may lead to changes.

These rules were learned the hard way in a VMware VM rescue + OTG build session. The user (Ringo) was burned by hasty, unapproved, unreported edits. Follow them EVERY time.

The 5 Commandments

  1. Diagnose first, report, THEN fix. A request to "check the logs for errors" is NOT a request to fix them. Report findings and wait for an explicit "go ahead" / "fix it" before running any repair command. Jumping to patching without approval erodes trust fast and can make things worse (this user will call it out).

  2. Backup BEFORE any change — never after. A backup created after the edits is worthless for rollback. Confirm the user's backup exists up front; make your own .bak-YYYYMMDD-HHMM copy before touching anything you edit. A .bak made after the fact is NOT a backup — the user knows this and will ask.

  3. Keep a running ledger of every file you modify. Path + what changed + why. When a session involves many edits, the user WILL ask "what did you change in the past 30 minutes?" — you must answer precisely, without reconstructing it from memory. A visible todo list updated per-edit satisfies this.

  4. Stop changing things that already work. If the user says a fix was tested and working earlier, VERIFY the timeline before "improving" it. Unapproved rework of a working state is how you break it. Check log timestamps before concluding a past fix failed.

  5. Async delegation by default; sync only on request. Spawn subagents for heavy work so the user is never blocked. Wait for their result, then report. (Exception: user says "wait for it".)

Typical sequence for a rescue

  1. Ask/confirm backup exists. Record the backup path.
  2. Read the relevant log(s) FIRST (vmware.log, errors.log, mcp-stderr.log). Quote the exact error lines back to the user.
  3. Report diagnosis + proposed fix. STOP. Wait for approval.
  4. On approval: backup every file you'll touch, then make surgical changes.
  5. Verify the fix end-to-end (boot the VM, restart Hermes, run the tool).
  6. Update the file-change ledger and report the full timeline of what changed.

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.
