Ssh Ops

Use for SSH and remote shell tasks through the shell-only ssh-ops wrappers (`scripts/ssh_ops.sh`). Supports ad-hoc host/user/auth, command execution, guarded PTY workflows, scp copy, credentials, and transcript-aware troubleshooting.

SSH Ops

Use shell wrappers only.

Preflight

  1. Confirm wrapper exists: /Users/chris/projects/ssh-ops/scripts/ssh_ops.sh.
  2. Confirm system SSH exists: /usr/bin/ssh.
  3. Decide state-dir strategy:
    • default: wrapper auto-uses /tmp/ssh-ops-$USER/<cwd-hash>
    • explicit: pass --state-dir /tmp/ssh-ops-<name> (recommended for long sessions and scripts)

Policy

  • Use scripts/ssh_ops.sh commands only.
  • Keep the same state dir across session-open/exec/pty/scp/session-close for continuity.
  • Default to non-PTY command execution.
  • PTY only when needed, with strict guardrails and override flag.
  • Report exit codes, stderr summary, and transcript offsets.

Core Workflow

  1. Open or reuse session: session-open / session-list.
  2. Execute remote work with exec (default) or guarded pty-*.
  3. Use scp-copy when file transfer is needed.
  4. Close session with session-close.

See references/workflows.md and references/policies.md.

Credentials

  1. Save credential: credential-save.
  2. List credentials: credential-list.
  3. Delete credentials: credential-delete.

Error Handling

Use references/errors.md.
