What debian-linux-triage does

debian-linux-triage takes a problem summary and can also use the Debian release and environment constraints. It first checks the environment assumptions, then lays out a triage path with systemctl, journalctl, apt, and dpkg.

The skill provides copy-paste-ready remediation commands and verification after each major change. When relevant, it calls out AppArmor or firewall concerns. Its response is organized into a summary, numbered triage steps, remediation commands, validation, and rollback or cleanup.

Install it when an agent needs a structured way to investigate Debian Linux failures. It is a poor fit for issues outside Debian Linux.

What it helps with

  • trace a failed service with systemctl and journalctl
  • inspect package state with apt and dpkg
  • identify AppArmor interference with a service
  • account for firewall rules during network triage
  • prepare rollback steps after a fix

Example prompts for the agent

  • Triage this Debian service failure: it stopped starting after a configuration change.
  • Inspect the package state and suggest a fix using `apt` and `dpkg`.
  • Create a triage plan with verification after each change and rollback steps.
