Ssh API Vps Automation

Use this skill when an agent needs to operate a Linux VPS through SSH ~ Api instead of raw SSH. It covers fetching the OpenAPI spec, creating sessions, storing session_id, using command/file/system/setup/tunnel routes, and disconnecting cleanly.

SSH ~ Api VPS Automation Skill

Repository:

https://github.com/vibheksoni/ssh-api

What This Skill Is

This skill teaches an AI agent how to use SSH ~ Api as a structured Linux server automation layer.

Instead of improvising over raw SSH, the agent should:

fetch /openapi.json
read SSH_API_GUIDE.md
create a session with POST /session/connect
store the returned session_id
use the structured endpoint groups
disconnect when the task is complete

When To Use

Use this skill when:

deploying files to a VPS
diagnosing a server issue
inspecting system state
provisioning packages on a Linux host
restarting or checking services
managing archives, environment variables, logs, tunnels, or firewall rules through the API

Do not use this skill when the task is unrelated to SSH ~ Api or when direct repository editing is the real task.

Install This Skill

Public GitHub install via npx skills:

npx skills add vibheksoni/ssh-api --skill ssh-api-vps-automation

List available skills in this repo:

npx skills add vibheksoni/ssh-api --list

Agent Workflow

1. Discover the API

Fetch http://HOST:PORT/openapi.json
Read SSH_API_GUIDE.md

2. Create a Session

Use POST /session/connect.

Store the returned session_id.

3. Prefer Structured Endpoints

Use:

command/* for command execution
file/* for uploads, downloads, reads, writes, mkdir, stat, copy, remove
system/* for logs, services, env vars, grep, find, archive, users, uptime, platform detection
setup/* for package-management and distro-aware setup
tunnel/* for SSH forwards
firewall/* for backend-aware firewall operations

4. Finish Cleanly

Disconnect with POST /session/disconnect/{session_id}.

Rules

Prefer structured API calls over inventing raw shell flows
Always track session_id
Detect the remote platform before distro-sensitive setup work
Treat destructive routes and firewall changes as privileged actions
Do not assume Ubuntu-specific behavior if the platform endpoints say otherwise

Success Criteria

The agent:

uses /openapi.json as the machine-readable contract
uses SSH_API_GUIDE.md as the workflow guide
tracks session_id
performs the requested VPS task with the documented endpoints
disconnects when done
