AD esxi-debian-deploy

Zero-touch Debian 13 VM deployment on VMware ESXi 8. Builds custom preseed ISO, creates NVMe+vmxnet3 VM with serial console, and runs unattended installation. Use when deploying Debian VMs on ESXi, automating VM provisioning, or setting up serial console access for headless ESXi VM management.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 46/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 30Running it twice. 10 mutating operations with no state check
    • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (esxi-debian-deploy) differs from the folder (openbot-esxi)
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
    • 100Steps. 35 steps
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1661 tokens
    • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
    • low 12 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

    Quality signals

    • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
    • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
    • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
    • +1No license
    • +2Single-language instructions
    • +3Description length 294: enough signal without eating the budget
    • +4Structure: 13 headings
    • +3Step-by-step instructions: 35 items
    • +4Has examples (8 code blocks)
    • +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (1 of 1)
    • +3All 2 scripts are documented

    Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 91.

    External checks

    ClawHub: suspicious
    This appears to be a real ESXi VM automation skill, but it needs review because it can delete/recreate VMs and uses powerful credentials with weak host verification defaults.
