outpost-host

77 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a devops skill usually runs commands, installs tools and uses cloud credentials.

By indigoai-us/hq-core (GitHub) · devops · 94 stars · scanned at commit 7ce1412

Host an app on this HQ Outpost/EC2 VM behind nginx and return its public URL. Refuses to run elsewhere. For artifacts use /deploy.

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/'outpost-host' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'outpost-host' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named outpost-host already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/indigoai-us/hq-core' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '7ce1412b413df51bc6bac69750c79468ab09c40c' -- '.claude/skills/outpost-host' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/outpost-host' ~/.agents/skills/'outpost-host' && 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/'outpost-host' ~/.claude/skills/'outpost-host' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
