FD proxmox-dc-lifecycle

Rebuild, replace, demote, reinstall, rejoin, or re-promote a Windows Active Directory domain controller VM on Proxmox: demote it, clean metadata from a healthy DC, reinstall via autounattend, then promote it again. Use for Proxmox-hosted DC rebuild requests and symptoms that point to rebuild: NTDS will not start, ntds.dit is missing, promotion fails with trust-relationship or "no computer account" errors, demotion hangs, dcdiag/replication fails on one DC, or a broken DC VM needs to come back. Also use for Windows AD operations through QEMU guest agent (qm guest exec). Rule: do not corrupt Active Directory; verify replication and FSMO before and after every lifecycle step, change one DC at a time, and never destroy or recreate a VM while AD still has NTDS Settings for that DC.

Guard blocked this skill: critical findings below. Do not install it until the author fixes them.

What is at stake

The skill contains fragments that, in the wrong hands, cost money or data. Below: what the installer risks and what the author should do.

Dangerous commands
If you install

The skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.

For the author

Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.

Exfiltration medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".

For the author

If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.

How to improve

  1. Remove the critical guard findings (secrets, dangerous commands, hidden instructions): while they stand the skill is blocked and cannot grade above F.
  2. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
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.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: assets/autounattend.xml.template

Process rating: all ten parameters 35/100

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: assets/autounattend.xml.template
  • 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: assets/autounattend.xml.template
  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 9 mutating operations with no state check
  • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
  • 85Steps. 29 steps, 1 vague phrases
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3039 tokens
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low The response is described with custom markup (9 tags): a typed call is more reliable

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.
