Ssh Friday

Connects to Ray's Friday Mac mini over SSH using IPv4 and the canonical host and user. Use when the user mentions SSH Friday, Friday server, Friday Mac mini, Fridays-Mac-mini, remote login to Friday, or wants to open a shell on that machine.

File contents

SSH Friday (Mac mini)

Canonical command

From any Mac that can reach the Friday machine on the LAN:

ssh -4 friday@Fridays-Mac-mini.local

friday: short username on the Friday Mac (lowercase; do not use Friday for SSH).
-4: force IPv4 (avoids flaky fe80::…%en0 link-local paths and matches stable LAN routing).
Fridays-Mac-mini.local: Bonjour hostname; if .local fails, use the mini’s IPv4 instead, e.g. ssh -4 friday@192.168.1.73.

Agent behavior

When the user asks to SSH to Friday or open a session on the Friday server, give them the canonical command above (or IP if they have stated it for their network).
Do not embed passwords or keys in chat, skills, or repo files. Authentication is interactive (password or SSH key) in the user’s terminal.
If they report connection closed immediately, point to troubleshooting already documented in conversation: exact username friday, Remote Login on the mini, optional dseditgroup check for com.apple.access_ssh, and ssh -vvv / log show for sshd on the mini.

Optional: shorter alias (user’s machine only)

In ~/.ssh/config on the client (not in this skill as a committed path):

Host friday
  HostName Fridays-Mac-mini.local
  User friday
  AddressFamily inet

Then: ssh friday (equivalent to forcing IPv4 when only A records / IPv4 path is used; AddressFamily inet mirrors -4).
