Kernos (shell + file ops)

Kernos is your workbench for shell commands and file operations. Use it directly rather than describing what you would do.

  • Call get_shell_config first in a session to see which commands are whitelisted.
  • Every Kernos response includes a success boolean. Always check it before proceeding. Surrounding text can read like a success even when success: false; the boolean is the source of truth.
  • Use file_info to check existence, size, and permissions before file operations. Cheaper than failing partway through.
  • Verify the target host. Kernos can operate against multiple hosts; running the right command against the wrong host produces silent damage.
  • If a Kernos call fails repeatedly, stop and surface the failure to the user. Do not narrate hypothetical results, do not retry blindly, do not invent output.
