Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
3 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Dicklesworthstone on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Ssh AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/agent_flywheel_clawdbot_skills_and_integrations/tree/main/skills/ssh
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/agent_flywheel_clawdbot_skills_and_integrations.git /tmp/agent_flywheel_clawdbot_skills_and_integrations
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/agent_flywheel_clawdbot_skills_and_integrations/skills/ssh .claude/skills/ssh

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ssh in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Ssh on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Ssh is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

SSH — Secure Remote Access

Core Capability: Secure shell connections, key management, tunneling, and file transfers.

Quick Start

bash
# Connect to server
ssh user@hostname

# Connect with specific key
ssh -i ~/.ssh/my_key user@hostname

# Run remote command
ssh user@host "cd /app && git status"

# Copy file to remote
scp local.txt user@host:/remote/path/

# Sync directory (preferred over scp)
rsync -avzP ./local/ user@host:/remote/

THE EXACT PROMPT — Common Workflows

Connect Through Jump Host

bash
# Single jump (bastion)
ssh -J jumphost user@internal-server

# Multiple jumps
ssh -J jump1,jump2 user@internal-server

Local Port Forward (access remote service locally)

bash
# Access remote:80 via localhost:8080
ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 user@host

# Access db-server:5432 via localhost:5432 through jumphost
ssh -L 5432:db-server:5432 user@jumphost

Generate and Deploy Key

bash
# Generate Ed25519 key (recommended)
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "you@example.com"

# Copy public key to server
ssh-copy-id user@host

Essential Commands

Task	Command
Connect	`ssh user@host`
Connect on port	`ssh -p 2222 user@host`
Connect with key	`ssh -i ~/.ssh/key user@host`
Run remote command	`ssh user@host "command"`
Interactive remote	`ssh -t user@host "htop"`
Copy to remote	`scp file.txt user@host:/path/`
Copy from remote	`scp user@host:/path/file.txt ./`
Sync to remote	`rsync -avzP ./local/ user@host:/remote/`
Local forward	`ssh -L local:remote:port user@host`
Remote forward	`ssh -R remote:local:port user@host`
SOCKS proxy	`ssh -D 1080 user@host`
Jump host	`ssh -J bastion user@internal`
Generate key	`ssh-keygen -t ed25519`
Copy key to server	`ssh-copy-id user@host`
Debug connection	`ssh -vvv user@host`

SSH Config

Location: ~/.ssh/config


Host myserver
    HostName 192.168.1.100
    User deploy
    Port 22
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myserver_key
    ForwardAgent yes

Host internal
    HostName 10.0.0.50
    User deploy
    ProxyJump bastion

Then connect with just: ssh myserver

Connection Multiplexing (faster reconnects)


Host *
    ControlMaster auto
    ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/%r@%h-%p
    ControlPersist 600

bash
mkdir -p ~/.ssh/sockets

SSH Agent

bash
# Start agent
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

# Add key
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

# Add with macOS keychain
ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

# List loaded keys
ssh-add -l

Security Tips

Use Ed25519 keys (faster, more secure than RSA)
Set PasswordAuthentication no on servers
Keep keys encrypted with passphrases
Use ssh-agent to avoid typing passphrase repeatedly
Restrict key usage with command= in authorized_keys

### SSH Access

SSH is configured for these servers:

- **Production:** `ssh prod` (via ~/.ssh/config)
- **Staging:** `ssh staging`

Common operations:

\`\`\`bash
ssh prod "cd /app && git status"      # Check deploy status
rsync -avzP ./dist/ prod:/app/dist/   # Sync files
ssh -L 5432:localhost:5432 prod       # DB tunnel
\`\`\`

Keys: `~/.ssh/id_ed25519` (add with `ssh-add`)

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ssh AI skill do?

SSH remote access - connections, tunnels, keys, file transfers. Use when connecting to servers, managing SSH keys, setting up port forwarding, or transferring files with scp/rsync.

Why use Ssh on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Ssh is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Ssh in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/agent_flywheel_clawdbot_skills_and_integrations/tree/main/skills/ssh. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Ssh?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Ssh?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Ssh with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Ssh AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by Dicklesworthstone. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
