SSH with 1Password Agent
Overview
SSH using Host aliases from ~/.ssh/config. Authentication via 1Password SSH agent with ControlMaster connection reuse.
Quick Start
- Discover hosts:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/ssh-1password/scripts/discover_servers.py
- First connection: Warn user about 1Password biometric prompt
- Run command:
ssh <host-alias> "command"
ControlMaster
First SSH triggers 1Password biometric → creates socket at ~/.ssh/sockets/. Subsequent connections reuse socket (no prompt). Persists 30 min.
Common Patterns
| Task | Command |
|---|
| Logs | ssh host "tail -100 /var/log/app.log" |
| Docker logs | ssh host "docker logs --tail 100 container" |
| Disk | ssh host "df -h" |
| Processes | ssh host "ps aux | grep pattern" |
| Copy out | scp host:/path/file ./local |
| Copy in | scp ./local host:/path/file |
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|
| Hangs | User seeing 1Password prompt—wait |
| Permission denied | Check 1Password has key, ssh-add -l |
| Stale socket | rm ~/.ssh/sockets/* |
