debian-linux-triage
Expert-guided triage and resolution for Debian Linux system issues
by githubFree
Description
debian-linux-triage is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection for diagnosing and resolving problems on Debian Linux systems. It uses Debian-native tools: apt for packages, systemd for services, AppArmor for security policies, and dpkg for the state of installed packages. The triage is step by step. The agent confirms the Debian release and the environment, asking brief follow-up questions where needed, then works through the problem with systemctl to check services, journalctl to read logs, apt and dpkg to check packages, and it notes any AppArmor or firewall considerations that could be the cause. Remediation is given as copy-and-paste commands, each followed by verification commands that show whether it worked, and the skill always gives rollback or cleanup steps. It is useful for system administrators who run Debian servers and want a structured way to work through an incident, and for people who are newer to Debian. Commands that change a live server should be read before they are run, and a backup or snapshot should be taken before significant changes, since a wrong package or policy change can take a service down. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 9.2K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
