sapconet-ssh-bridge

What This Skill Does

The sapconet-ssh-bridge skill acts as a secure, standardized middleware for interacting with remote SAPCONET infrastructure via SSH. Designed by Billy (SAPCONET), this skill eliminates the need for ad-hoc shell commands by providing a pre-configured, modular framework for routine operational tasks. It simplifies the execution of remote workflows such as bird reads, headless Puppeteer browser automations, and automated inbox messaging. By encapsulating these operations within dedicated bash scripts (check-sapconet.sh and msg-sapconet.sh), the skill ensures consistent syntax, repeatable execution, and safer handling of remote processes. It enforces security best practices by abstracting sensitive infrastructure details and mandating the use of environment variables for credentials.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, use the following CLI command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/highlander89/sapconet-ssh-bridge

Once installed, ensure your environment is configured for remote access. You must define the target host using the SAPCONET_TARGET environment variable. It is recommended to use SSH key-based authentication for the target user to ensure that password prompts do not disrupt automated workflows.

Use Cases

• Infrastructure Health Monitoring: Quickly verify if the SAPCONET host is responsive and reachable using the included health check script.
• Automated Data Retrieval: Efficiently execute "bird read" commands to pull network or service data without manual logging.
• Browser Automation: Trigger headless Puppeteer instances to scrape or interact with internal web-based tools hosted on the SAPCONET environment.
• Communication Workflows: Streamline the process of pushing notification messages or system alerts directly to internal inboxes using the messaging bridge.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, please run the health check script for the current SAPCONET target to ensure the host is online."
2. "Use the sapconet-ssh-bridge to execute a bird read command for the latest network routing table."
3. "Send an automated maintenance notice to the team inbox using the msg-sapconet.sh script with the content: 'System upgrade scheduled for 02:00 UTC'."

Tips & Limitations

• Safety First: Always review the internal command placeholders within the script files before execution. Hardcoding credentials is strictly forbidden; always rely on system-level environment variables.
• Network Boundaries: This skill is limited strictly to SSH-based interaction. It does not perform external network calls, which minimizes the attack surface. However, verify that your local environment has the necessary SSH access and permissions to the defined target.
• Customization: Users should treat the provided scripts as templates. Feel free to extend them to add logic for parsing output logs or handling non-standard error codes.
