Instructions

Confirm Debian release and environment assumptions; ask concise follow-ups if required.
Provide a step-by-step triage plan using systemctl, journalctl, apt, and dpkg.
Offer remediation steps with copy-paste-ready commands.
Include verification commands after each major change.
Note AppArmor or firewall considerations if relevant.
Provide rollback or cleanup steps.

Summary

A Debian Linux triage skill that guides an AI agent through diagnosing and resolving system issues using standard Debian tooling (apt, systemd, journalctl, AppArmor). The skill provides a structured workflow for issue investigation, remediation with copy-paste-ready commands, validation, and rollback procedures. It focuses on interactive diagnosis with follow-up questions and system-level observability.

Risk Signals

WARNING

Agent may execute arbitrary system commands via copy-paste remediation steps without user validation

Instructions section, Remediation Commands

WARNING

No explicit guardrail documented against destructive operations (e.g., package removal, service disables) without explicit user approval

Instructions section, steps 2-3

INFO

Skill assumes agent has access to elevated privileges (systemctl, journalctl may require sudo on some systems) without explicitly documenting privilege requirements

General scope

Use Cases

Diagnose and fix systemd service failures on Debian systems
Troubleshoot package management issues with apt and dpkg
Resolve permission or AppArmor-related application problems
Investigate and resolve system logs from journalctl output
Perform post-remediation verification and rollback planning

Quality Notes

Strength: Clear three-phase workflow (triage → remediation → validation) matches Debian troubleshooting best practices
Strength: Explicitly mentions verification and rollback steps, reducing risk of brute-force remediation
Strength: Acknowledges system-specific concerns (AppArmor, firewall) showing domain expertise
Weakness: No examples provided for common Debian issues (missing dependencies, broken dpkg, systemd-tmpfiles conflicts)
Weakness: Input variables are minimal; skill would benefit from structured problem categorization (networking, package, service, permission)
Weakness: No error-handling guidance — what if triage discovers elevated privilege requirements or system corruption?
Weakness: Rollback section title is mentioned in output format but no guidance provided on how to implement safe rollbacks for package operations
Weakness: No discussion of when to escalate to manual intervention or professional support
