Structured Arch Linux troubleshooting with pacman, systemd, and journalctl-based remediation steps.
What is arch-linux-triage?
Arch-linux-triage is a diagnostic skill that guides an AI agent through troubleshooting Arch Linux problems using systemctl, journalctl, and pacman. Use it when a user reports a broken system, failed update, or service issue on Arch Linux and needs a structured triage, remediation, and rollback plan.
- Confirms recent updates and environment assumptions before diagnosing
- Generates a numbered triage plan using systemctl, journalctl, and pacman
- Provides copy-paste-ready remediation commands
- Includes validation commands to verify each major change
- Flags kernel update or reboot considerations
- Outputs rollback or cleanup steps
How to install arch-linux-triage
npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot --skill arch-linux-triage- An Arch Linux (or Arch-based) system with pacman and systemd
- Sufficient privileges (sudo/root) to run remediation and rollback commands
How to use arch-linux-triage
- 1.Invoke the skill and describe your Arch Linux problem in the ProblemSummary input.
- 2.Optionally provide an ArchSnapshot (e.g., recent system state) and any Constraints (e.g., can't reboot now).
- 3.Review the Summary and numbered Triage Steps the skill outputs.
- 4.Run the provided Remediation Commands in your terminal.
- 5.Run the Validation commands after each major change to confirm the fix.
- 6.Follow the Rollback/Cleanup steps if the fix needs to be reverted or cleaned up.
Use cases
- Diagnosing a failed system update or broken package on Arch Linux
- Investigating a failed or misbehaving systemd service via journalctl
- Producing a step-by-step remediation plan with verification commands for a rolling-release issue
- Planning a safe rollback after a problematic pacman update
- Addressing kernel update or reboot-related issues on Arch
- Arch Linux users troubleshooting system issues
- System administrators managing rolling-release Arch systems
- Developers using Arch Linux who need quick diagnostic guidance

arize-ai-provider-integration
Creates, reads, updates, and deletes Arize AI integrations that store LLM provider credentials used by evaluators and other Arize features. Supports any LLM provider (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, Gemini, NVIDIA NIM). Use when the user mentions AI integration, LLM provider credentials, create integration, list integrations, update credentials, delete integration, or connecting an LLM provider to Arize.
arize-evaluator
Handles LLM-as-judge evaluation workflows on Arize including creating/updating evaluators, running evaluations on spans or experiments, managing tasks, trigger-run operations, column mapping, and continuous monitoring. Use when the user mentions create evaluator, LLM judge, hallucination, faithfulness, correctness, relevance, run eval, score spans, score experiment, trigger-run, column mapping, continuous monitoring, or improve evaluator prompt.
arize-instrumentation
Adds Arize AX tracing to an LLM application for the first time. Follows a two-phase agent-assisted flow to analyze the codebase then implement instrumentation after user confirmation. Use when the user wants to instrument their app, add tracing from scratch, set up LLM observability, integrate OpenTelemetry or openinference, or get started with Arize tracing.
arize-link
Generates deep links to the Arize UI for traces, spans, sessions, datasets, labeling queues, evaluators, and annotation configs. Produces clickable URLs for sharing Arize resources with team members. Use when the user wants to link to or open a trace, span, session, dataset, evaluator, or annotation config in the Arize UI.
