≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Edit Machine
Update an existing machine profile — change description, SSH address, privilege level, or type classification without re-running the full registration.
When to use
- Machine moved to a new address
- User gained or lost root access
- Profile metadata needs correction
- Machine role changed (e.g., decommissioned vs. active)
Inputs to gather
- Machine name (must already be registered)
- Field to change: description, ssh_address, root_access, os, machine_type, or status
Procedure
- Resolve the data directory:
DATA_DIR="${CLAUDE_USER_DATA:-${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/claude-plugins}/security-auditor/data" REPO_BASE="$DATA_DIR" export REPO_BASE - Invoke the edit mode:
cd /home/daniel/repos/github/my-repos/Claude-Security-Auditor-Plugin bash scripts/add-machine.sh --edit <machine_name> - The script re-prompts for each field, pre-filling current values. User selects which to change.
- Updated profile is written back to
claude-profile.json,user-responses.json, andreadable-profile.md.
Output / side effects
- Updated profile in
${CLAUDE_USER_DATA}/security-auditor/data/machines/<machine-name>/ - SSH connection re-tested if address changed
- Previous audit reports remain untouched
Safety / constraints
- Editing SSH address without verifying connectivity first can lock out future audits.
- Changing root_access to false may reduce audit coverage; confirm with the user.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
