About sysadmin-toolbox

This skill curates practical tool recommendations, shell one-liners, and reference guides for system administrators and operations work. It covers networking, DNS, SSL/TLS, diagnostics, logs, containers, and security, with explicit boundaries for safe use.

Key features

01Provide shell one-liner references
02Recommend CLI and web tools
03Cover networking, DNS, and SSL/TLS
04Organize log, system, and container tools
05Set safety boundaries

Use cases

01Troubleshoot ports or network connectivity
02Diagnose DNS resolution or SSL/TLS
03Analyze processes, disk, or system logs
04Choose tools for containers, security, or operations

Sysadmin Toolbox

Curated tool recommendations and practical shell one-liners for operational work.

When to Auto-Consult

Load relevant references when user is:

Debugging network connectivity, ports, traffic
Troubleshooting DNS or SSL/TLS
Analyzing processes, memory, disk usage
Working with logs or system diagnostics
Writing shell scripts or one-liners
Asking "what's a good tool for..."
Doing security audits or pentesting
Working with containers/Docker/K8s

Bundled Guides

File	Use When
`shell-oneliners.md` in this skill's `references` folder	Need practical commands for: terminal, networking, SSL, curl, ssh, tcpdump, git, awk, sed, grep, find
`cli-tools.md` in this skill's `references` folder	Recommending CLI tools: shells, file managers, network utils, databases, security tools
`web-tools.md` in this skill's `references` folder	Web-based tools: SSL checkers, DNS lookup, performance testing, OSINT, scanners
`security-tools.md` in this skill's `references` folder	Pentesting, vulnerability scanning, exploit databases, CTF resources
`shell-tricks.md` in this skill's `references` folder	Shell scripting patterns and tricks

Safety Boundaries

Do not run destructive system commands, privilege-escalation steps, or offensive tooling unless the user explicitly asked for that scope.
Do not scan hosts, domains, or networks the user does not control or have permission to assess.
Do not assume a command is safe to paste into production without explaining what it does.
Do not persist logs, captures, or credentials outside the user's requested troubleshooting workflow.

Quick Tool Index

Network Debugging

mtr - traceroute + ping combined
tcpdump / tshark - packet capture
netstat / ss - connection monitoring
nmap - port scanning
curl / httpie - HTTP testing

DNS

dig / host - DNS queries
dnsdiag - DNS diagnostics
subfinder / amass - subdomain enumeration

SSL/TLS

openssl - certificate inspection
testssl.sh - TLS testing
sslyze - SSL scanning
certbot - Let's Encrypt

Process/System

htop / btop - process monitoring
strace / ltrace - syscall/library tracing
lsof - open files/connections
ncdu - disk usage

Log Analysis

lnav - log navigator
GoAccess - web log analyzer
angle-grinder - log slicing

Containers

dive - Docker image analysis
ctop - container top
lazydocker - Docker TUI

References auto-refresh weekly (Sundays 5am ET) from the upstream repo:

Manual refresh anytime:

./scripts/refresh.sh [skill-dir]

Example Queries → Actions

"Why is this port not responding?" → Load shell-oneliners.md, search for netstat/ss/lsof commands

"What's a good tool for testing SSL?" → Load cli-tools.md SSL section, recommend testssl.sh or sslyze

"Show me how to find large files" → Load shell-oneliners.md, search for find/ncdu/du commands

"I need to debug DNS resolution" → Load shell-oneliners.md dig section + recommend dnsdiag from cli-tools.md

Develop and host Miaoda (Spark/Miaoda) apps: app creation, local full-stack development, cloud generation and iteration, creative design (UI mockups / interactive prototypes / wireframes / landing pages / dashboards / slide decks / visual exploration), integration of AI-related capabilities, Feishu platform capabilities, or other external capabilities; log/Trace/monitoring metric/PV/UV queries; environment variable management; app collaborators and collaboration permissions; app roles and members; and automation triggers (scheduled / record changes / Webhook / Feishu approvals). Use when users want to develop or create a system, tool, platform, or app; develop locally or in the cloud, modify, deploy, publish, launch, or get a shareable link; create a page or website with HTML and deploy it to Miaoda; design, create a mockup, prototype, wireframe, PPT, deck, or visual exploration; or mention Miaoda/Spark/Miaoda apps (links like `/app/app_xxx` or `/page/<token>`, runtime domains like *.aiforce.cloud), app databases, app file storage, open API Keys, visibility, app collaborators/developer permissions, app roles/role members, production logs, API request volume, error volume, latency, traffic, environment variables, or setting up automation tasks, scheduled triggers, or approval-triggered automation for Miaoda apps. Not for regular cloud drive file uploads (lark-drive), Feishu document editing (lark-doc), or native slide creation (lark-slides).

Prepare azd-based Azure projects for deployment: generates azure.yaml, infrastructure (Bicep/Terraform), and Dockerfiles for the Azure Developer CLI (azd) workflow. USE ONLY when the user explicitly wants to use azd as the deployment tool, or the project already has an azure.yaml file. DO NOT USE FOR: non-azd deployments, Python App Service code-only deploys (use python-appservice-deploy), or cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: prepare app for azd, create azure.yaml, set up azd infrastructure, modernize app for Azure with azd, deploy with azd, function app, timer trigger, service bus trigger, event-driven function, managed identity, generate Bicep, generate Terraform, create and deploy to Azure.

Generate an interactive bash wizard that walks a human through steps only they can perform. Use when provisioning infrastructure, setting up credentials or CI secrets, walking an unfamiliar third-party dashboard, or running a one-off migration or cutover. Don't invoke this for steps the agent can perform itself.
