Use this skill when starting, supervising, debugging, holding open, or stopping any remote process over SSH that needs an operator-like interactive environment, a TTY, login-shell startup files, long-running observation, logs, readiness checks, or later inspection.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 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.

remote-observable-process
Use this skill before starting a non-trivial remote process over SSH when the process needs to behave like it was launched by an operator in a terminal, be observed after launch, expose readiness, keep running beyond one command, or be stopped cleanly later.
macOS Local Network privacy
If a macOS same-LAN join or split fails, or remote macOS nodes on the same LAN
connect only via relay, check the deploy-macos skill's Local Network
troubleshooting section before diagnosing iroh (not a routine preflight;
SSH/shell launches normally just work). A raw UDP probe, a
LAN address in an invite, or relay connectivity is not proof that the deployed
process was authorized. Do not collect performance data until both nodes report
the intended LAN peer as an iroh direct path.
Rule
For environment-sensitive processes, prefer SSH with a TTY and an interactive login shell:
ssh -tt host '/bin/zsh -ilc '\''COMMAND'\'''If the remote host does not use zsh, adapt the shell while preserving the same properties: allocate a TTY, use a login/interactive shell, and keep the session foreground for first repro/debug runs.
Avoid detached first attempts such as:
ssh host "nohup COMMAND > /tmp/process.log 2>&1 &"
ssh host "COMMAND > /tmp/process.log 2>&1 &"Those shapes hide lifecycle and can behave differently from a real remote session.
Stage Runtime Debugging
For network-sensitive server chains, model stage servers, GPU/Metal workloads, or bind/connect debugging, first prove the process in a held foreground TTY:
ssh -tt host '/bin/zsh -ilc '\''COMMAND 2>&1 | tee /tmp/COMMAND.log'\'''Keep the SSH session open while sending traffic. Use tmux or screen only
after validating that they preserve the same listener, downstream connection,
and request behavior on that host.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

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.
