Billy Emergency Repair

What This Skill Does

Billy Emergency Repair is a specialized recovery utility designed for maintaining the operational status of the Billy AI system. When the Billy gateway encounters authentication failures, stale tokens, or unresponsive states, this skill automates the complex recovery procedure. By leveraging SSH connectivity over Tailscale, the skill performs a systematic audit and repair cycle: it verifies Neill’s explicit authorization, performs a safety backup of existing configurations, purges problematic credential artifacts (including .token files and device configurations), clears hardcoded secrets, and initiates a clean gateway restart. The process concludes with an automated validation check and comprehensive audit logging, ensuring that the system is fully operational before reporting back to the user.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/highlander89/billy-emergency-repair

Ensure that you have completed the one-time setup process to facilitate secure access: bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/emergency-repair/setup-billy-repair-keys.sh This step is mandatory as it configures the necessary SSH keys required for the agent to connect securely to the Billy EC2 instance.

Use Cases

This skill should be utilized specifically when Billy exhibits signs of service degradation or loss of authentication. Primary scenarios include:

• Detection of 'authentication/gateway' error messages originating from the Billy system.
• Instances where Billy appears unresponsive or 'down' during standard operations.
• Direct requests from Neill to perform emergency intervention.

It is critical to note that this is an emergency-only tool. It is not intended for routine maintenance tasks, and it strictly enforces an authorization check to prevent unauthorized use by anyone other than Neill.

Example Prompts

1. "SAPCONET, Billy is showing authentication errors again, please fix him."
2. "Billy is down, Neill here, run the emergency repair protocol immediately."
3. "My Billy system is unresponsive, perform the Billy emergency repair procedure."

Tips & Limitations

• Authorization: This skill is strictly locked to Neill. Always state your authorization clearly to ensure the skill passes its security check.
• Dependencies: The skill requires an active Tailscale connection and valid SSH keys installed on the target machine. If these are missing, the automated repair will fail.
• Diagnostics: The skill automatically switches to the Claude-Opus model during execution to maximize diagnostic accuracy. Ensure you have sufficient credits/API access for this model.
• Escalation: If the automated script reports a failure, do not attempt to force it. The system likely requires manual intervention due to deeper environmental issues; please provide the logs to a human administrator for analysis.
