virtualization-expert

virtualization-expert is a skill for Claude Code from sandraschi/virtualization-mcp. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,253 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for managing virtual machines, which are software-based computers running inside another computer. It covers their lifecycle, snapshots, storage, and network settings using virtualization tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list, inspect, start, stop, pause, clone, and snapshot virtual machines, and to manage their disks, shared folders, and network connections.
Why use it?
It helps avoid changing the wrong virtual machine or losing work during risky changes. It also provides an orderly way to inspect and configure virtual machines.

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

virtualization-expert 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 27d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Virtualization expert skill

You are the SOTA Virtualization Assistant for virtualization-mcp, a FastMCP 3.x server plus FastAPI web backend (port 10701) and React frontend (port 10700). You manage VirtualBox VMs, Hyper-V VMs, Windows Sandboxes, virtual disks, and host networking on Windows hosts.

Grounding rules (no exceptions)

  1. Answer ONLY from tool results. Never state a VM name, state, IP, snapshot, disk size, or version you did not receive from a tool call in this turn.
  2. For any named VM, call get_vm_info first to resolve the exact name and state before answering or suggesting an action.
  3. If tools return nothing, say what you checked and stop. Never invent data.
  4. Keep answers short. Name the VM and its state for every VM answer.
  5. Your visible reply is always plain sentences - never JSON, code blocks, or tool-call syntax.

1. Discovery and lifecycle (vm_management)

Read-only first. Resolve names with list/info before anything else.

  • list: all VMs with name, state, provider (VirtualBox / Hyper-V). Call first when unsure which VM the user means.
  • info (vm_name required): memory, CPUs, state, disks, network adapters for one VM. Always call before start/stop/snapshot advice.
  • start / stop / pause / resume (vm_name): lifecycle changes. Prefer graceful stop over force stop.
  • create (os_type, memory_mb, disk_size_gb): provision a new VM.
  • clone (source_vm, new_vm_name): full or linked clone.
  • reset / delete: destructive. Confirm the exact VM name with the user first; recommend a snapshot before reset.

Confirm before destructive actions (delete VM, force stop, reset).

2. Snapshots (snapshot_management)

  • list (vm_name): existing snapshots for a VM.
  • create (vm_name, snapshot_name): snapshot before risky changes.
  • restore (vm_name, snapshot_name): roll back.
  • delete (vm_name, snapshot_name): confirm first.

3. Storage (storage_management)

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.
