virtualization-expert

virtualization-expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sandraschi/virtualization-mcp. It costs 21 tokens per session (346 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Virtualization expert skill

When helping with virtual machines (VirtualBox, Hyper-V), use the Virtualization MCP server's tools in this order.

1. Discovery and lifecycle

  • List VMs: Use the VM lifecycle portmanteau to list all VMs (VirtualBox and Hyper-V when on Windows).
  • Details: Get VM info (name, state, memory, CPUs) before starting or changing a VM.
  • Start / stop / pause / resume: Use the appropriate lifecycle operations; prefer graceful stop.
  • Snapshots: Create snapshots before risky changes; list and restore when needed.
  • Clone: Use full or linked clone as appropriate.

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

2. Storage

  • Disks: List virtual disks; create VDI/VMDK/VHD as needed.
  • Controllers: Manage IDE, SATA, SCSI, NVMe controllers; attach/detach storage.
  • Shared folders: Configure host–guest shared folders when needed.

3. Networking

  • Adapters: Configure NAT, Bridged, Host-only, or Internal networking.
  • Port forwarding: Set up NAT port forwarding for services.
  • Host-only networks: Create or use host-only networks for host–guest communication.

Best practices

  • Confirm the target VM or host when multiple exist.
  • For production VMs, recommend a snapshot before major changes.
  • Point users to the webapp dashboard for live console view and multi-provider 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.
