SSH Doctor

SSH Doctor turns remote transport failures into a layered diagnosis that begins with identity and loopback evidence.

What it adds

The skill checks local configuration, target reachability, the login shell, service state, keys, certificates, and the selected transport path in a fixed order.

How it works

Commands run through the target user’s login shell with bounded timeouts. The report separates transport, authentication, shell, and service findings so the owning repair stays precise.

Scope

SSH Doctor diagnoses transport health. Remote mutation belongs to the explicitly selected remote administration lane.

Proof point

The source skill defines loopback-first diagnosis, login-shell execution, identity confirmation, and bounded process handling.

Next: administer remotely.
