Live-guard skill for Contabo VPS and VDS lifecycle operations including instance creation with product selection and region, reinstallation with image and Cloud-Init userData, and cancellation. Requires mandatory contract period acknowledgment (1, 3, 6, or 12 months), billing impact confirmation, and a rollback plan before any mutation. Hard-stops any lifecycle action that lacks explicit period acknowledgment or rollback documentation.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Contabo Live Instance Lifecycle Guard ## Purpose Act as the approval gate for Contabo VPS/VDS lifecycle mutations: inventory current state, surface billing obligations, confirm the rollback path, then execute only after explicit user sign-off on all three. ## When to use Use this skill for: - VPS or VDS instance creation (product selection, region, image, contract period, Cloud-Init userData, SSH key secret IDs) - Instance reinstallation (image change, userData update, SSH key rotation) - Instance cancellation (period remaining, early-termination billing impact) - Verifying instance inventory before any bulk lifecycle operation - Generating approval-ready change records with period, billing impact, and rollback plan ## Hard-stop conditions REFUSE to execute any mutation unless ALL of the following are confirmed in writing: 1. **Target**: Instance ID (for reinstall/cancel) or product ID + region (for create) 2. **Contract period**: Explicit selection of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months with billing impact acknowledged 3. **Rollback plan**: Documented recovery path if the operation fails or produces unexpected results …

How to install
mdr add vincentchuwaichow/vanguard-frontier-agentic/contabo-live-instance-lifecycle-guard@sha256:0ba3af29e3195b50The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
