The agent and skill prose used to ship inside this package, which exposed home-infra topology (hosts, IPs, AINs, container layout, /opt/herding cred paths) to anyone with the public package URL. This release moves to a fetcher model: - Public package ships only the plumbing: claude-his-fetch + claude-his-install. - Runbook content lives on a private host at $HIS_CONTEXT_HOST:/opt/his-context/. - claude-his-fetch (rsync over SSH) populates ~/.cache/claude-his-agent/. - claude-his-install symlinks ~/.claude/agents/his.md + ~/.claude/skills/his into the cache. History rewritten — the previous tree contained sensitive operational details. A bundle of the pre-rewrite tree is preserved out-of-band by the maintainer.
claude-his-agent
A Claude Code subagent + skill for a personal home-infrastructure assistant ("His" — Home Infrastructure Specialist). Designed so a sibling Claude on any host in your fleet can summon a single, consistent infra runbook instead of re-learning your topology every session.
Distribution model
This package ships only the plumbing — a fetcher and an installer. The
actual runbook (agent prompt + skill cheatsheet) lives on a private host that
you control and is pulled into a per-user cache the first time you run
claude-his-install. None of the infra context is in the public package or
its git history.
public package (this repo) → /usr/bin/claude-his-fetch
/usr/bin/claude-his-install
/usr/share/doc/claude-his-agent/README.md
private host (you set up) → /opt/his-context/agent.md
($HIS_CONTEXT_HOST, default hertz) /opt/his-context/skill/SKILL.md
/opt/his-context/scripts/...
per-user cache (after fetch) → ~/.cache/claude-his-agent/
~/.claude wiring (after install) → ~/.claude/agents/his.md -> cache/agent.md
~/.claude/skills/his -> cache/skill
claude-his-fetch is a thin rsync -a -e ssh "$HOST:$PATH" "$CACHE/". The
trust boundary is your existing SSH key auth on $HIS_CONTEXT_HOST.
Install
# Debian (trixie/bookworm):
sudo apt install claude-his-agent
claude-his-install
# Arch / ALARM:
sudo pacman -S claude-his-agent
claude-his-install
claude-his-install runs claude-his-fetch if the cache is empty, then
symlinks ~/.claude/agents/his.md + ~/.claude/skills/his to the cache.
Refresh
Re-run claude-his-fetch whenever the runbook on the private host changes.
A weekly cron is reasonable:
0 4 * * 0 $HOME/.local/bin/claude-his-fetch >/dev/null 2>&1
(or just call /usr/bin/claude-his-fetch from any path the user can read.)
Configuration
| Env var | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
HIS_CONTEXT_HOST |
hertz |
SSH target serving the context blob |
HIS_CONTEXT_PATH |
/opt/his-context/ |
Source dir on the host (trailing slash) |
HIS_CONTEXT_CACHE |
~/.cache/claude-his-agent |
Local cache dir |
$HIS_CONTEXT_HOST resolves through the user's ~/.ssh/config and known_hosts,
so an alias like Host hertz / HostName 192.0.2.10 / User youruser / IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
keeps the rest of the stack hostname-agnostic.
Setting up the private host
On $HIS_CONTEXT_HOST, lay out:
/opt/his-context/
├── agent.md # subagent system prompt (the "take over" form)
├── skill/
│ └── SKILL.md # skill cheatsheet (the "lookup" form)
└── scripts/ # any helpers the runbook references
└── ...
Owner whichever account the fleet logs in as; mode 0644 for files, 0755
for dirs. The directory does not need to be world-readable — claude-his-fetch
authenticates as the SSH user.
Source
Public framework: git.reauktion.de/marfrit/claude-his-agent
(this repo — no infra context, safe to mirror).
Bug reports / runbook gaps for the private runbook stay private; for the public plumbing (fetcher, installer, build), file against this repo's issues.
License
Personal infra tooling; framework code is permissive (see LICENSE if shipped). The runbook content (private) is not redistributable.
