- deep-research: Deep research harness — fan-out web searches, fetch sources, adversarially verify claims, synthesize a cited report. - When the user wants a deep, multi-source, fact-checked research report on any topic. BEFORE invoking, check if the question is specific enough to research directly — if underspecified (e.g., "what car to buy" without budget/use-case/region), ask 2-3 clarifying questions to narrow scope. Then pass the refined question as args, weaving the answers in.
- update-config: Use this skill to configure the Claude Code harness via settings.json. Automated behaviors ("from now on when X", "each time X", "whenever X", "before/after X") require hooks configured in settings.json - the harness executes these, not Claude, so memory/preferences cannot fulfill them. Also use for: permissions ("allow X", "add permission", "move permission to"), env vars ("set X=Y"), hook troubleshooting, or any changes to settings.json/settings.local.json files. Examples: "allow npm commands", "add bq permission to global settings", "move permission to user settings", "set DEBUG=true", "when claude stops show X". For simple settings like theme/model, suggest the /config command.
- keybindings-help: Use when the user wants to customize keyboard shortcuts, rebind keys, add chord bindings, or modify ~/.claude/keybindings.json. Examples: "rebind ctrl+s", "add a chord shortcut", "change the submit key", "customize keybindings".
- verify: Verify that a code change actually does what it's supposed to by running the app and observing behavior. Use when asked to verify a PR, confirm a fix works, test a change manually, check that a feature works, or validate local changes before pushing.
- code-review: Review the current diff for correctness bugs and reuse/simplification/efficiency cleanups at the given effort level (low/medium: fewer, high-confidence findings; high→max: broader coverage, may include uncertain findings; ultra: deep multi-agent review in the cloud (requires claude.ai account access)). Pass --comment to post findings as inline PR comments, or --fix to apply the findings to the working tree after the review.
- simplify: Review the changed code for reuse, simplification, efficiency, and altitude cleanups, then apply the fixes. Quality only — it does not hunt for bugs; use /code-review for that.
- fewer-permission-prompts: Scan your transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls, then add a prioritized allowlist to project .claude/settings.json to reduce permission prompts.
- loop: Run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo). Omit the interval to let the model self-pace. - When the user wants to set up a recurring task, poll for status, or run something repeatedly on an interval (e.g. "check the deploy every 5 minutes", "keep running /babysit-prs"). Do NOT invoke for one-off tasks.
- claude-api: Reference for the Claude API / Anthropic SDK — model ids, pricing, params, streaming, tool use, MCP, agents, caching, token counting, model migration.
TRIGGER — read BEFORE opening the target file; don't skip because it "looks like a one-liner" — whenever: the prompt names Claude/Anthropic in any form (Claude, Anthropic, Fable, Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, `anthropic`, `@anthropic-ai`, `claude-*`, `us.anthropic.*`, `[1m]`); the user asks about an LLM (pricing/model choice/limits/caching) — never answer from memory; OR the task is LLM-shaped with provider unstated (agent/MCP/tool-definition/multi-agent/RAG/LLM-judge/computer-use; generate/summarize/extract/classify/rewrite/converse over NL; debugging refusals/cutoffs/streaming/tool-calls/tokens).
SKIP only when another provider is being worked on (overrides all triggers): OpenAI/GPT/Gemini/Llama/Mistral/Cohere/Ollama named in the query; OR `grep -rE 'openai|langchain_openai|google.generativeai|genai|mistralai|cohere|ollama'` over the project hits (run this grep FIRST if no provider named — don't Read the file).
- run: Launch and drive this project's app to see a change working. Use when asked to run, start, or screenshot the app, or to confirm a change works in the real app (not just tests). First looks for a project skill that already covers launching the app; otherwise falls back to built-in patterns per project type (CLI, server, TUI, Electron, browser-driven, library).
- init: Initialize a new CLAUDE.md file with codebase documentation
- review: Review a pull request
- security-review: Complete a security review of the pending changes on the current branch

- schedule: Create, update, list, or run scheduled cloud agents (routines) that execute on a cron schedule. - When the user wants to schedule a recurring cloud agent, set up automated tasks, create a cron job for Claude Code, or manage their scheduled agents/routines. Also use when the user wants a one-time scheduled run ("run this once at 3pm", "remind me to check X tomorrow").

**Varaverk** is a complete self-healing, self-maintaining, mutually-redundant two-server home server ecosystem. One codebase runs on both servers. No primary/standby — both servers run independently and cover each other when one goes down.

## The Two Servers

**HOST2 — unRAID-Jayred365**
- Hardware: Intel i5 10th gen, 64GB RAM
- Location: Remote — different building, different power utility
- Domain: Gmer4Lfe.us

## Architecture
- Platform adapter layer (Plugin/unraid/adapter.sh) isolates OS-specific calls — scripts never branch on OS
- Self-healing, not enterprise HA — goal is minimal media stack disruption
- Tailscale for mesh networking between hosts

## Active To-Dos (from Notes_To-Do.md)
- Fix fallback strike list timing: ~30s first, ~90s for 3-strike trigger — needs testing
- Verify silent toggle switches back on good notifications
- Rename folder Unraid_Scripts → Varaverk everywhere, update git script, all traces/scripts

## Future Design Ideas

10	Add health check URLs for critical containers that are currently only checked via `docker ps` (alive but hung won't be caught).
11
12	**Why:** A hung-but-not-crashed NPM/Authelia fails all traffic silently with no watchdog trigger. Currently only Emby has a health URL.
13
14	**How to apply:** When user is ready, add to host1.conf:
15	- Define `HOST1_NPM_ADMIN_URL="http://localhost:7818"` near the NPM identity section (no existing URL var for admin panel — `HOST1_NETWORK_WATCHDOG_NPM_URL` is the external domain, different thing)
16	- Add to `HOST1_WATCHDOG_CONTAINER_URLS`: NPM, Authelia (9091), Authelia-Secondary (9092), Lldap-Gmer4Lfe (17170) — confirm ports before adding
17	- Pattern: define URL var, reference it in the array (same as HOST1_EMBY_URL pattern)
18
19	NPM admin port confirmed by user: **7818** (not 81 — that's the partnership WebUI port in HOST1_PARTNERSHIP_AUTH_WEBUIS)

Add health check URLs for critical containers that are currently only checked via `docker ps` (alive but hung won't be caught).

**Why:** A hung-but-not-crashed NPM/Authelia fails all traffic silently with no watchdog trigger. Currently only Emby has a health URL.

**How to apply:** When user is ready, add to host1.conf:
- Define `HOST1_NPM_ADMIN_URL="http://localhost:7818"` near the NPM identity section (no existing URL var for admin panel — `HOST1_NETWORK_WATCHDOG_NPM_URL` is the external domain, different thing)
- Add to `HOST1_WATCHDOG_CONTAINER_URLS`: NPM, Authelia (9091), Authelia-Secondary (9092), Lldap-Gmer4Lfe (17170) — confirm ports before adding
- Pattern: define URL var, reference it in the array (same as HOST1_EMBY_URL pattern)

NPM admin port confirmed by user: **7818** (not 81 — that's the partnership WebUI port in HOST1_PARTNERSHIP_AUTH_WEBUIS)


Good — I have all the old memory. Now I'll write it into the current install's memory directory.

Runs Unraid on two home servers (HOST1: Threadripper 1950X, HOST2: Intel i5 10th gen).
Building Varaverk — a self-healing two-server media ecosystem.
Email: gmer4lfe@gmail.com
Domain: Gmer4Lfe.com / Gmer4Lfe.us

Practical, hands-on operator. Thinks in design/architecture terms but works at the script/config level.
Deals with real-world issues: power outages, reboots, reinstalls.

**Note:** Claude Code does not persist memory across Unraid reboots unless memory files are on /boot (USB). After any reinstall, point Claude at /boot/config/plugins/varaverk to restore context.

**Why:** User spent a week dealing with confusion between dev folder, installed dir, and workspace all drifting out of sync. This caused significant lost work and frustration. The `.plg` now symlinks the installed location directly to the workspace, so there is only one copy.

**How to apply:** If asked to edit any Varaverk file, always use the path under `/boot/config/plugins/varaverk/`. If the dev folder ever comes up, flag that it is stale and should be ignored.

metadata:

**Varaverk** is a complete self-healing, self-maintaining, mutually-redundant two-server home server ecosystem. One codebase runs on both servers. No primary/standby — both servers run independently and cover each other when one goes down.

## The Two Servers

**HOST1 — unRAID-Gmer4Lfe**
- Hardware: Threadripper 1950X, 128GB RAM, ZFS cache pools
- Location: Primary site
- Domain: Gmer4Lfe.com
- Runs: Arrs (Movies, TV, Music), Auth stack (source of truth), Emby (primary)

**HOST2 — unRAID-Jayred365**
- Hardware: Intel i5 10th gen, 64GB RAM
- Location: Remote — different building, different power utility
- Domain: Gmer4Lfe.us

## Architecture
- Platform adapter layer (Plugin/unraid/adapter.sh) isolates OS-specific calls — scripts never branch on OS
- Self-healing, not enterprise HA — goal is minimal media stack disruption
- Tailscale for mesh networking between hosts

## Active To-Dos (from Notes_To-Do.md)
- Fix fallback strike list timing: ~30s first, ~90s for 3-strike trigger — needs testing
- Verify silent toggle switches back on good notifications
- Rename folder Unraid_Scripts → Varaverk everywhere, update git script, all traces/scripts

## Future Design Ideas
- Shared auth stack for partner hosts to start shared services
- When owner offboards with 2+ servers: auto-promote strongest server (by compute + bandwidth)
- Overall setup script that pulls vars automatically (docker names, etc.)
- App layer as king: no more direct git — app opens/edits settings, partnership deploys to servers, pushes correct host.conf
- Web UI: on initial launch with no state file, open master.conf; lock orchs until setup complete
- First-launch guide: owner sets up master.conf → host1.conf → Tailscale shares → onboard → host2/3 install and see state file, default to mirror mode

**Why:** User is building this as a personal project on Unraid. Design philosophy favors simplicity and independence over enterprise tooling.
**How to apply:** Understand the two-server mesh model when suggesting architecture. The app layer / web UI direction is the current strategic focus — moving away from raw git/scripts toward a proper application.

All 6 memory files restored from the old install. One thing worth noting: `/root/.claude` is currently a real directory (not yet symlinked to appdata), which means it'll be wiped on next reboot. The `claude_startup.sh` script should handle that — want me to check if it's in the array start scripts and is working correctly?

claude-data: does not exist
claude-bin: does not exist


Here's the status:

**Script is wired in correctly** — it's in `master.conf` `ARRAY_START_SCRIPTS` at line 296, and the logic is sound.

**But it hasn't run yet this boot.** Current state vs what it expects:

| Thing | Current state | After script runs |
|---|---|---|
| `/root/.claude` | Real dir (RAM) | Symlink → `/boot/config/plugins/varaverk/claude-data` |
| `/root/.local/share/claude` | Real dir (RAM) | Symlink → `/boot/config/plugins/varaverk/claude-bin` |
| `claude-data/` | Doesn't exist yet | Created + old `/boot/config/claude` data migrated in |
| `claude-bin/` | Doesn't exist yet | Created + current binary (2.1.177) migrated in |

**One gap**: the script migrates old `.claude` data from `/boot/config/claude` automatically, but it does **not** migrate the old binaries from `/boot/config/claude-bin`. Only the currently-installed binary (2.1.177) gets persisted. The older versions (170/173/176) in the old location won't carry over — which is fine, only latest matters.

Want me to run the startup script now? It's safe to do mid-session — it copies the live data to the persistent location before removing and symlinking, so nothing gets lost. After it runs, everything in `/root/.claude` (including the memory we just restored) will be persisted to `/boot/config/plugins/varaverk/claude-data` and survive reboots.


yes

Everything is set. Both symlinks are in place, the binary is persisted, and all 6 memory files are in `claude-data` on `/boot`. Future reboots will just re-run the startup script to re-create the symlinks — no data loss.


check /plugin/varaverk check host.conf and master.conf . make sure varaverk is running from boot not appdata
