ssh-config

What problem does it solve?

SSH key management, configuration, and tunneling often require manual, error-prone steps across key generation, agent handling, and precise config wiring. This Skill streamlines those tasks by providing a ready-to-use workflow for creating keys, loading them into the ssh-agent, updating ~/.ssh/config, and configuring jump hosts and port-forwarded tunnels to securely access remote servers.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Key management: generate keys (ed25519 or rsa), add keys to the ssh-agent, and distribute public keys to servers.
• SSH config orchestration: maintain a clean, reusable ~/.ssh/config with Host definitions, JumpHost patterns, and strong permissions.
• Tunneling and jump hosts: set up local, remote, and dynamic tunnels and use jump hosts to reach internal targets.
• Security hardening: enforce strict file permissions and minimize credential exposure in workflows.

Quick Start

Generate a new SSH key, add it to the authentication agent, and configure your SSH client for a jump host and port-forwarded tunnels.
