Harden a production Linux VPS for your application across three layers — application (systemd hardening, monitoring alerts, backup automation), Ubuntu OS (UFW firewall, fail2ban SSH, unattended-upgrades, SSH hardening), and VPS provider (health checks, daily backups, monthly snapshots). Use when the user wants to secure a production server, harden a VPS, audit server security, or mentions production hardening, VPS security, or harden the server.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'harden-vps' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'harden-vps' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named harden-vps already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/danielvm-git/bigpowers' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c19edc76adb8363921bc3edb4a410216b63d9618' -- 'skills/harden-vps' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/harden-vps' ~/.agents/skills/'harden-vps' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'harden-vps' ~/.claude/skills/'harden-vps' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
