Interpretation is structured for decision-making; original keeps the upstream SKILL.md unchanged.

Decide Fit First

Core job: Complete DreamHost website management via SFTP/SSH for React JS deployments, multi-site routing, file operations, and content ma…
Best fit: Use it when the task has reusable inputs, steps, and validation criteria rather than a one-off answer.
Avoid forcing it: If the source lacks commands, platform support, or external-service evidence, keep those fields unknown instead of guessing.

Design Intent

Structure: The skill is organized around “Quick Start”, “1. Setup Credentials”, “2. Configure Domain Mappings (Optional but Recommended)”, “3. Test Connection”, showing how the author expects the agent to judge fit, collect context, and produce verifiable output.
Trigger evidence: Prioritize the author’s wording around when to use it, what context to collect, and what output shape to produce.
Evidence boundary: Author text states facts, repository files prove commands and paths, and Fluxly only adds fit, limits, and usage judgment.

How To Use It

Inputs: Provide target material, scope, expected result, forbidden changes, and validation method.
Invocation: Name DreamHost Manager directly; if the source includes slash commands, start with the command and then add task context.
Validation: Start small and check whether the result follows “Quick Start / 1. Setup Credentials / 2. Configure Domain Mappings (Optional but Recommended)” before expanding.

Boundaries And Review

Dependencies: It usually needs no extra API key, so start with a small validation task.
Permissions: Declared permissions include read / write / shell-exec / env-read; ask the agent to state file, command, and rollback boundaries before acting.
Quality bar: A useful result names the deliverable, evidence, and next action. Generic prose means the task needs tighter context.

DreamHost Manager Skill

Complete solution for managing websites on DreamHost hosting via SFTP/SSH.

Quick Start

1. Setup Credentials

Copy and configure .env file:

cp assets/.env.template .env
# Edit .env with your DreamHost credentials

See setup_guide.md for detailed credential setup.

2. Configure Domain Mappings (Optional but Recommended)

Add your domains to .env for convenient naming:

# .env
DOMAIN_farm-friend.com=/home/dh_cqevup/farm-friend.com
DOMAIN_yourdomain.com=/home/username/yourdomain.com

3. Test Connection

Verify your setup works (using domain name or full path):

# Using domain name (if configured in .env)
python scripts/sftp_operations.py list farm-friend.com

# Using full path (always works)
python scripts/sftp_operations.py list /home/dh_cqevup/farm-friend.com

4. Deploy Your Site

For React apps:

# Using domain name
python scripts/react_deployer.py deploy . farm-friend.com
python scripts/routing_manager.py configure-app farm-friend.com

# Or using full path
python scripts/react_deployer.py deploy . /home/dh_cqevup/farm-friend.com
python scripts/routing_manager.py configure-app /home/dh_cqevup/farm-friend.com

For static sites:

python scripts/directory_sync.py upload ./my-website farm-friend.com

For backups:

python scripts/backup_restore.py backup farm-friend.com ./backups

Core Features

React Application Deployment

Deploy React apps built with Create React App, Vite, or Next.js:

python scripts/react_deployer.py deploy <project_dir> <remote_path>

Automatically:

Detects framework type
Runs build process
Uploads optimized artifacts
Cleans old deployments

Multi-Site Routing

Configure multiple sites on same domain using:

Subdomains: app1.yourdomain.com, app2.yourdomain.com
Subdirectories: yourdomain.com/app1, yourdomain.com/app2

# Subdomain
python scripts/routing_manager.py configure-subdomain /home/user/app1.yourdomain.com

# Subdirectory
python scripts/routing_manager.py configure-subdir app1 /home/user/yourdomain.com/app1

File Operations

Upload, download, and manage files:

# Upload single file
python scripts/sftp_operations.py upload ./index.html yourdomain.com/index.html

# Download file
python scripts/sftp_operations.py download yourdomain.com/index.html ./backup.html

# List files
python scripts/sftp_operations.py list yourdomain.com

# Create directory
python scripts/sftp_operations.py mkdir yourdomain.com/new-folder

# Delete file
python scripts/sftp_operations.py delete yourdomain.com/old.html

Note: Use domain names (if configured in .env) or full paths like /home/user/yourdomain.com

Directory Synchronization

Sync entire directories for quick deployments:

python scripts/directory_sync.py upload ./my-website yourdomain.com

Features:

Recursive upload/download
Timestamp comparison (skips unchanged files)
Automatic exclusion (.git, node_modules, etc.)
Progress tracking

Backup & Restore

Create and restore timestamped backups:

# Create backup
python scripts/backup_restore.py backup yourdomain.com ./backups

# List backups
python scripts/backup_restore.py list ./backups

# Restore backup
python scripts/backup_restore.py restore ./backups/backup_20240115_120000.tar.gz yourdomain.com

Features:

Automatic timestamped backups
Tar.gz compression
Safe restore (backs up current version first)
Large file support

Blog & Content Management

Upload and manage blog posts:

# Upload post with images
python scripts/blog_manager.py upload ./posts/my-post.md yourdomain.com/blog

# List posts
python scripts/blog_manager.py list yourdomain.com/blog

# Update post
python scripts/blog_manager.py update ./posts/my-post.md yourdomain.com/blog/my-post.md

# Delete post
python scripts/blog_manager.py delete yourdomain.com/blog/old.md

Server Commands

Execute shell commands on the server:

# Check disk usage
python scripts/ssh_commands.py disk-usage yourdomain.com

# Change file permissions
python scripts/ssh_commands.py chmod yourdomain.com/config.php 644

# Recursively change permissions (standard web setup)
python scripts/ssh_commands.py chmod-recursive yourdomain.com 644 755

# Create symlink
python scripts/ssh_commands.py symlink yourdomain.com /backup

# Find files
python scripts/ssh_commands.py find yourdomain.com "*.html"

# Execute custom command
python scripts/ssh_commands.py exec "cd /home/user/yourdomain.com && ls -la"

Configuration

.env File Format

DREAMHOST_HOST=your_host.dreamhost.com
DREAMHOST_USER=your_username
DREAMHOST_PASSWORD=your_password
# OR for SSH key (more secure):
# DREAMHOST_SSH_KEY_PATH=/path/to/.ssh/id_rsa

See assets/.env.template for complete template with security notes.

Domain Name Mapping & Per-Domain Credentials

Each domain can have its own DreamHost credentials (host, user, password). Configure them in your .env file:

# .env
# ========== DOMAIN 1: farm-friend.com ==========
DOMAIN_farm-friend.com=/home/dh_cqevup/farm-friend.com
DREAMHOST_HOST_farm-friend.com=server1.dreamhost.com
DREAMHOST_USER_farm-friend.com=user1
DREAMHOST_PASSWORD_farm-friend.com=password1

# ========== DOMAIN 2: yourdomain.com ==========
DOMAIN_yourdomain.com=/home/dh_xxxx/yourdomain.com
DREAMHOST_HOST_yourdomain.com=server2.dreamhost.com
DREAMHOST_USER_yourdomain.com=user2
DREAMHOST_PASSWORD_yourdomain.com=password2

The agent automatically extracts the domain from your command and uses the matching credentials:

# Agent automatically uses farm-friend.com credentials
python scripts/sftp_operations.py list farm-friend.com

# Agent automatically uses yourdomain.com credentials
python scripts/react_deployer.py deploy . yourdomain.com

# Also works with full paths (uses credentials from the domain in the path)
python scripts/sftp_operations.py list /home/dh_cqevup/farm-friend.com

How it works:

Agent extracts domain from the command: farm-friend.com
Looks up credentials in .env: DREAMHOST_HOST_farm-friend.com, DREAMHOST_USER_farm-friend.com, etc.
Connects to that domain's DreamHost account
Performs the requested operation

This allows seamless management of multiple domains with different DreamHost accounts.
