# System Information Skill

Know what a Linux machine is made of without hunting through files

## What this does

You need to know what a Linux machine actually is: which distribution, which kernel, what processor, how much memory, how long it has been up. This collects all of that in one go. Reach for it when someone asks for specs or you need a record of a host.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Tell me this machine's specs
- Check how much memory is in use
- Find the kernel version and OS release

## Questions

### Is System Information Skill safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of System Information Skill and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit fd14c73605a5, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/system-info.

### How do I install System Information Skill?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/system-info on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up.
