proxmox-ops

Troubleshoot and manage Proxmox VE over SSH. Use this whenever the user mentions Proxmox, PVE, a VM or LXC container, a hypervisor node, "qm", "pct", cluster quorum, HA, migration, a VM that won't boot or is stuck, a node running hot or unreachable, VM/container backups (vzdump), or Proxmox storage. Trigger this even if the operator only names a VM or container by ID or purpose and wants it started, stopped, checked, or fixed. Prefer this over generic shell reasoning for anything hypervisor-level.

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.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by serversathome on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Proxmox Ops 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/serversathome/homelabhero/tree/main/ops/.claude/skills/proxmox-ops
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

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/serversathome/homelabhero.git /tmp/homelabhero
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/homelabhero/ops/.claude/skills/proxmox-ops .claude/skills/proxmox-ops

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Proxmox Ops 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 Proxmox Ops 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 Proxmox Ops 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.

Proxmox ops

Reached over SSH as pve1 / pve2 (root). Read infra/proxmox.md for this environment's node names, VMIDs, and storage layout before acting.

For the complete command surface of this platform, read capabilities/proxmox.md.

Diagnose first


hh run pve1 "pvesh get /version"                 # API alive
hh run pve1 "qm list && pct list"                # inventory + states
hh run pve1 "cat /proc/loadavg; free -h; df -h /"# node pressure
hh run pve1 "pvesm status"                        # storage health/usage
hh run pve1 "pvecm status"                        # quorum, if clustered
hh run pve1 "ha-manager status"                   # HA, if used

Common cases

VM won't start: check qm status <id> --verbose, then journalctl -u pvedaemon -n 100, then the VM config qm config <id> for a missing disk or ISO still mounted.
VM stuck / unresponsive: qm monitor <id> info, consider qm reset <id> (confirm first, it is a hard reset).
Storage full blocking operations: pvesm status and df -h; clear old vzdump archives or snapshots, do not delete VM disks.
Node hot or thrashing: identify the VM with qm list + guest load; often a backup window or a runaway guest.

State-changing (confirm first, name the target and effect)


hh run pve1 "qm snapshot <id> pre-change-$(date +%F)"   # snapshot before risk
hh run pve1 "qm start|stop|reboot|shutdown <id>"
hh run pve1 "pct start|stop|reboot <id>"
hh run pve1 "qm migrate <id> <target-node> --online"     # if clustered
hh run pve1 "vzdump <id> --storage <backupstore> --mode snapshot"

Never run qm destroy / pct destroy or storage-wiping operations without an explicit go-ahead, and prefer a fresh backup or snapshot first.

Handoff

If the fault is inside the guest OS, SSH into the guest itself. If it is the storage under the node (ZFS on TrueNAS), switch to truenas-ops.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Proxmox Ops AI skill do?

Why use Proxmox Ops on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Proxmox Ops 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 Proxmox Ops in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/serversathome/homelabhero/tree/main/ops/.claude/skills/proxmox-ops. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Proxmox Ops?

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 Proxmox Ops?

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

Is the Proxmox Ops AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by serversathome. 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.
