qemu-linux-boot

qemu-linux-boot is a skill for Codex from processmission/oh-my-qemu. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,474 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for booting Linux in QEMU, either by loading the kernel directly or by using firmware and a bootloader. QEMU is software that emulates a computer for testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start Linux with a kernel or firmware-based process, select the boot method from the available inputs, and record whether booting worked.
Why use it?
It helps choose the appropriate boot path and preserves boot logs, debugging handoffs, and verification evidence, making failures easier to investigate.

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

qemu-linux-boot 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 10d 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.

QEMU Linux Boot

Audit workflow

For non-trivial workspace writes, use a stable .oh-my-qemu/<task-slug>/ directory and create only needed entries:

.oh-my-qemu/<task-slug>/
├── audit.md      # Baseline, scope, decisions, evidence, verification, and gaps
├── commands.md   # Redacted commands, working directories, and results
├── logs/         # Decisive build, test, runtime, or diagnostic logs
├── scripts/      # Temporary scripts, probes, parsers, and harnesses
└── output/       # Generated deliverables, dependencies, and non-QEMU binaries

Before changing source or mutable artifacts, record the workspace root, revision, git status --short, pre-existing changes, goal, scope, and acceptance checks in audit.md. Log exact redacted commands and results in commands.md; record revisions, configurations, tool versions, and hashes when they affect reproducibility. Separate observations from inferences and edit source only when requested.

Keep QEMU builds under source-root builds/build-<target>/; put third-party dependencies and non-QEMU binaries in task output/. Before writing audit artifacts or configuring QEMU in a Git worktree, add .agents/, .oh-my-qemu/, and builds/ to the repository-local file from git rev-parse --git-path info/exclude; preserve existing entries and avoid duplicates. Never stage or commit those directories. At handoff, verify them absent from git status --short. Report the task directory and unresolved gaps.

Path Selection

Classify the boot path before composing primitives:

  • Use direct Linux boot when QEMU should load the kernel itself with options such as -kernel, -dtb, -initrd, and -append, without traversing firmware or bootloader stages.
  • Use firmware Linux boot when Linux must be reached through BIOS, pflash, ROM, SPL, TPL, U-Boot, TF-A, EDK2, OpenSBI, vendor firmware, or boot media that firmware reads.
  • If the user explicitly names a path, follow that path.
  • If the request only asks for a fast Linux smoke boot and provides a kernel, prefer direct boot.
  • If the request is validating a board's real boot chain, firmware behavior, or boot media layout, prefer firmware boot.
  • If required artifacts are missing or the path is ambiguous, record the gap in audit.md before running QEMU.

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.

qemu-linux-boot is a skill published in the GitHub repository processmission/oh-my-qemu (57 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,474 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
