Vmware Aiops · vmware-skills bundle
Use this skill whenever the user needs to manage VMs in VMware/vSphere/ESXi — it's the entry point for all VM operations. Directly handles: power on/off, clone, snapshot, migrate, deploy from OVA or templates, run commands inside VMs, batch operations, cluster management, vCenter alarm acknowledgment, a one-glance cluster-health triage ("is anything on fire?"), and VM/host/datastore investigation drill-downs. Always use this skill for any "power on", "clone", "deploy", "migrate", "batch", "guest exec", "alarm", or VM lifecycle task, and for triage like "is anything on fire" / "what needs attention now" / "investigate this VM", when the context is explicitly VMware, vSphere, or ESXi. Do NOT use for general read-only queries (inventory/events/VM details — use vmware-monitor), NSX networking (use vmware-nsx), storage/iSCSI/vSAN (use vmware-storage), or Kubernetes cluster lifecycle (use vmware-vks). For multi-step workflows use vmware-pilot. For load balancing/AVI/AKO use vmware-avi.

Vmware Avi · vmware-skills bundle
Use this skill whenever the user mentions load balancing, ingress, virtual services, pool members, AVI, NSX ALB, AKO, or application delivery in a VMware/NSX ALB or Tanzu/vSphere Kubernetes context. Directly handles: virtual service listing and enable/disable, pool member drain/enable, SSL certificate expiry checks, analytics and error logs, service engine health, AKO pod troubleshooting, AKO Helm config management, Ingress annotation validation, K8s-to-Controller sync diagnostics, and multi-cluster AKO overview. Always use it for "virtual service", "pool member", "AKO status", "AKO logs", "ingress diagnose", "ssl expiry", "load balancer", "NSX ALB", "AVI controller", "Avi Load Balancer", "AKO sync", or "负载均衡" tasks. Do NOT use to set up or configure nginx/HAProxy/Traefik from scratch — those are not AVI tasks.

Vmware Aria · vmware-skills bundle
Use this skill whenever the user needs VMware Aria Operations (rebranded VMware VCF Operations in VCF 9 and later) data — performance metrics, alerts, capacity planning, anomaly detection, and automated reports. Directly handles: query resource metrics, list/acknowledge/cancel alerts, manage alert definitions, check capacity and time-remaining forecasts, detect anomalies, generate and manage reports. Always use this skill for "check vSphere capacity", "what Aria Operations alerts are active", "show VMware anomalies", "generate an Aria report", "rightsizing recommendations", "VCF Operations alerts", or any Aria Operations / VCF Operations / vRealize Operations task. Combined with LLM, Aria data powers natural language reports: "give me a capacity report" → Aria collects data → LLM formats the report. Do NOT use for real-time vCenter alarms/events (use vmware-monitor), VM operations (use vmware-aiops), or NSX networking (use vmware-nsx). For load balancing/AVI/AKO use vmware-avi.

Vmware Monitor · vmware-skills bundle
Use this skill for safe, read-only queries of VMware infrastructure — no destructive operations exist in the codebase; a test enforces it. Directly handles: a one-glance cross-cluster health summary, object-centered VM/host/datastore investigation drill-downs (correlating surrounding infrastructure + recent events), a cross-vCenter "what needs attention now?" rollup, list VMs/hosts/datastores/clusters, active alarms, recent events, VM details. Always use vmware-monitor when the user asks to "list VMs", "check vSphere alarms", "show host status", "is anything on fire", "what needs attention now", "what is happening around this VM/host/datastore", "investigate this VM" — or needs read-only VMware info before making changes. Do NOT use for any write operations — this skill is read-only and has no code path that creates, modifies, or deletes a resource. For VM modifications use vmware-aiops, for networking use vmware-nsx, for metrics/capacity use vmware-aria. For load balancing/AVI/AKO use vmware-avi.

Vmware Privateai · vmware-skills bundle
Use this skill whenever the user needs the GPU / AI-infrastructure layer of VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA (PAIF-N) on vSphere 9.x / VCF 9.1: inventory GPU hosts and physical GPU devices, see which VMs consume a vGPU and the profile each holds, read real-time GPU utilization, list the vGPU and DirectPath profile catalog, assign a VM's vGPU profile, and list Private AI Service (PAIS) served models and knowledge bases. Always use this skill for "list GPU hosts", "which VMs are using a vGPU", "GPU utilization", "assign a vGPU profile", "list vGPU profiles", "list served models" when the context is explicitly VMware / vSphere / VCF Private AI / NVIDIA vGPU. Do NOT use for the backing VM's power/snapshot/clone/migrate (use vmware-aiops), read-only vSphere inventory/alarms/host health (use vmware-monitor), or GPU-enabled Tanzu Kubernetes (use vmware-vks). This skill is the GPU lens; vmware-aiops owns the VM lifecycle behind it.

Vmware Vdi · vmware-skills bundle
Use this skill whenever the user needs to operate a VMware/Omnissa Horizon VDI environment via its Connection Server: list and manage desktop pools, RDS farms and published apps, inspect and act on user sessions (log off, disconnect, send message), manage desktop machines (reset, maintenance, remove), view and change entitlements, read Horizon events/health/statistics, and push instant-clone golden images. Always use this skill for "log off VDI user", "reset this desktop", "why is the desktop pool not provisioning", "push the new image to the pool", "list Horizon sessions", "who is entitled to the pool", "VDI health" — when the context is explicitly Horizon / Omnissa / VDI / desktop-pool / RDS-farm. Do NOT use for the underlying vCenter VM lifecycle/power/snapshot/migrate (use vmware-aiops), read-only vSphere monitoring (use vmware-monitor), or NSX microsegmentation (use vmware-nsx-security). This skill manages the Horizon broker layer; vmware-aiops manages the vCenter VMs backing the desktops.

Vmware Debug · vmware-skills bundle
Use this skill whenever the user is troubleshooting a VMware/vSphere problem — a reported error, an exception, a log dump, a slow or failed VM, a host that went sideways — and needs help locating the root cause. It is the diagnostic brain of the VMware family: it drives a systematic investigation, pulls the right signals from the other skills, correlates events into one timeline, ranks root-cause hypotheses, and tells you what to check next even when you don't know where to start. Always use this skill for "diagnose this VMware issue", "why is my VM slow", "troubleshoot this vSphere error", "what does this log mean", "help me figure out what broke" when the context is explicitly VMware/vSphere/ESXi/NSX. It is READ-ONLY: it never changes anything. Do NOT use it to execute fixes — single fixes go to vmware-aiops, multi-step gated remediation goes to vmware-pilot. Do NOT use it for routine inventory or health checks with no problem to solve — use vmware-monitor.

Vmware Log Insight · vmware-skills bundle
Use this skill whenever the user needs to search, aggregate, or investigate centralized logs in VMware VCF Operations for Logs (formerly Aria Operations for Logs / vRealize Log Insight) — the appliance that collects syslog from ESXi hosts, vCenter, and VMs. It is the log data source of the VMware family: full-text event search over a time window, aggregation with spike detection, field discovery, and alert queries. Always use this skill for "search the logs", "what did the host log", "find errors in Log Insight", "show me a log spike", "query vRealize Log Insight", "Aria Operations for Logs", "VCF Operations for Logs" when the context is explicitly VMware/vSphere/ESXi. It is strictly READ-ONLY — it never ingests, edits, or deletes anything. Do NOT use it for vCenter events/alarms (use vmware-monitor) or for performance metrics and anomalies (use vmware-aria). To correlate logs with events from other sources into one root-cause timeline, hand results to vmware-debug.

Vmware Pilot · vmware-skills bundle
Use this skill whenever the user wants to design, execute, or manage complex multi-step VMware workflows with human approval and automatic rollback. Pilot is the orchestration brain — it breaks a goal into steps across companion VMware skills (aiops, monitor, nsx, nsx-security, aria, vks, storage, avi), adds approval gates before destructive operations, and rolls back automatically if anything fails. Always use vmware-pilot for: "clone and test before applying to production", "VMware incident response with checkpoints", "investigate alert root cause", "VMware rolling restart with health checks", "baseline capture and drift detection", "rolling maintenance with AVI drain", or any VMware workflow needing approval gates or rollback. 15 built-in templates + custom YAML + AI-designed workflows. Do NOT use for single-step work — use vmware-aiops for one VM action, vmware-monitor for read-only queries, vmware-avi for load balancer queries.
