Based on SOC occupation classification
Server security auditing, hardening, and fleet management. 457 security checks across 30 categories (SSH, Firewall, Docker, TLS, HTTP Headers), CIS/PCI-DSS/HIPAA compliance mapping, 24-step production hardening, and 13 MCP tools. Supports Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, and Linode with Coolify, Dokploy, and bare VPS modes. Install: claude plugins add kastell
Kastell CLI patterns, architecture, anti-patterns, and decision trees. Use automatically when working in Kastell codebase or when asked about Kastell server infrastructure, security audit, hardening, lock, provision, or provider management.
Read-only Kastell codebase exploration. Use when tracing a bug across files, mapping callsites before refactoring, or exploring unfamiliar subsystems. Runs in isolated context with Explore agent.
Generate new Kastell components from templates. Creates boilerplate for CLI commands, audit checks, providers, and MCP tools following current architecture (commands thin, core fat, adapters dispatch).

Safety guard that intercepts kastell destroy and kastell restore commands. Requires explicit confirmation before any destructive operation proceeds.
Invoke /kastell:careful before a session that involves server destruction or restoration. The skill-scoped prompt hook activates and monitors all Bash commands until the skill session ends.
Changed files:
!git diff --name-only 2>/dev/null || echo "Not a git repo"
Uncommitted:
!git status --short 2>/dev/null || echo "Not a git repo"
Three layers of protection work together:
Layer 1: Plugin hooks.json — Always active (plugin scope). Silently blocks kastell destroy and kastell server-delete via command hook (regex match, exit 2). No confirmation offered — hard block.
Layer 2: This skill's prompt hook — Active only during /kastell:careful session. Uses an LLM to detect destroy AND restore intent in any Bash command. Returns {"decision": "block"} with a reason message explaining the block. Covers restore which Layer 1 does NOT cover.
Layer 3: KASTELL_SAFE_MODE — Runtime guard embedded in CLI code itself (isSafeMode()). Last line of defense at the application layer.
The three layers are complementary: Layer 1 stops silent automation, Layer 2 provides in-session confirmation UX with semantic understanding, Layer 3 enforces safe mode at execution time.
Only kastell destroy and kastell restore are intercepted. Other commands (including kastell audit, kastell lock, kastell status) pass through without delay.
When a destructive command is detected:
