| description | Retrieve detailed Linux system information including OS distribution, kernel version, CPU model and core count, memory usage, and uptime. Use when the user asks about system specs, hardware details, RAM, processor info, kernel version, or needs a host inventory summary. |
System Information Skill
Gathers comprehensive system information about the Linux host.
Suggested Workflow
- Run
./scripts/sysinfo.sh for structured output covering OS, CPU, memory, and uptime.
- Use individual commands below for specific details or when the script is unavailable.
Commands Reference
Operating System
cat /etc/os-release - Distribution name and versionuname -a - Kernel version and architecturehostnamectl - Hostname and OS info (systemd systems)
CPU Information
lscpu - CPU architecture details (cores, threads, model)cat /proc/cpuinfo | head -30 - Detailed processor infonproc - Number of available processors
Memory Information
free -h - Memory and swap usage (human-readable)cat /proc/meminfo | head -10 - Detailed memory statistics
System Uptime
uptime - How long the system has been runningcat /proc/loadavg - Load averages
Tips
- The
sysinfo.sh script outputs structured text (distribution, kernel, CPU model, cores, memory, uptime) suitable for parsing
- Use
lscpu for the most readable CPU information
- Memory values in
/proc/meminfo are in kilobytes
