Guides working with exe.dev VMs. Use when the user mentions exe.dev, exe VMs, *.exe.xyz, or tasks involving exe.dev infrastructure.

exe.dev provides Linux VMs with persistent disks, instant HTTPS, and built-in auth. All management is via SSH.
The index is organized for progressive discovery: start there and follow links as needed.
ssh exe.dev help # show commands
ssh exe.dev help <command> # show command details
ssh exe.dev new --json # create VM
ssh exe.dev ls --json # list VMs
ssh exe.dev rm <vm> # delete VM
ssh <vm>.exe.xyz # connect to VM
scp file.txt <vm>.exe.xyz:~/ # transfer file
Every VM gets https://<vm>.exe.xyz/ with automatic TLS.
ssh exe.dev <command> — the exe.dev lobby. A REPL for VM lifecycle, sharing, and configuration. Does not support scp, sftp, or arbitrary shell commands.ssh <vm>.exe.xyz — a direct connection to a VM. Full SSH: shell, scp, sftp, port forwarding, everything.Coding agents often run SSH in non-interactive shells or sandboxes. Common issues and workarounds:
scp/sftp failures: Ensure you're targeting <vm>.exe.xyz rather than exe.dev. Use ssh-based workarounds.
Hung connections: Non-interactive SSH can block on host key prompts with no visible output. Use -o StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new on first connection to a new VM.
SSH config: Check whether both destinations are configured to use the right key:
Host exe.dev *.exe.xyz
IdentitiesOnly yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
testing
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
development
Use when writing Zig code. Contains Zig 0.15 API changes and patterns.
development
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like "the xlsx in my downloads") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
tools
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
