BF vmware-aiops

Use this skill whenever the user needs to manage VMs in VMware/vSphere/ESXi — it's the entry point for all VM operations. Directly handles: power on/off, clone, snapshot, migrate, deploy from OVA or templates, run commands inside VMs, batch operations, cluster management, vCenter alarm acknowledgment, a one-glance cluster-health triage ("is anything on fire?"), and VM/host/datastore investigation drill-downs. Always use this skill for any "power on", "clone", "deploy", "migrate", "batch", "guest exec", "alarm", or VM lifecycle task, and for triage like "is anything on fire" / "what needs attention now" / "investigate this VM", when the context is explicitly VMware, vSphere, or ESXi. Do NOT use for general read-only queries (inventory/events/VM details — use vmware-monitor), NSX networking (use vmware-nsx), storage/iSCSI/vSAN (use vmware-storage), or Kubernetes cluster lifecycle (use vmware-vks). For multi-step workflows use vmware-pilot. For load balancing/AVI/AKO use vmware-avi.

What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Broad scope 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 skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.

For the author

Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.

How to improve

  1. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
  2. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

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.

External checks

ClawHub: suspicious
This skill is not evidently malicious, but it gives agents broad VMware control that can make destructive infrastructure and guest-OS changes without enforced approval.
