Overview

This skill empowers Claude to seamlessly interact with the ssl-certificate-manager plugin, facilitating efficient management and monitoring of SSL/TLS certificates. It allows for quick checks of certificate expiry dates, automated renewal processes, and comprehensive listings of installed certificates.

How It Works

1. Identify Intent: Claude analyzes the user's request for keywords related to SSL/TLS certificate management.
2. Plugin Activation: The ssl-certificate-manager plugin is automatically activated.
3. Command Execution: Based on the user's request, Claude executes the appropriate command within the plugin (e.g., checking expiry, renewing certificate, listing certificates).
4. Result Presentation: Claude presents the results of the command execution to the user in a clear and concise format.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

• Check the expiry date of an SSL/TLS certificate.
• Renew an SSL/TLS certificate.
• List all installed SSL/TLS certificates.
• Investigate SSL/TLS certificate issues.

Examples

Example 1: Checking Certificate Expiry

User request: "Check the expiry date of my SSL certificate for example.com"

The skill will:

1. Activate the ssl-certificate-manager plugin.
2. Execute the command to check the expiry date for the specified domain.
3. Display the expiry date to the user.

Example 2: Renewing a Certificate

User request: "Renew my SSL certificate for api.example.org"

The skill will:

1. Activate the ssl-certificate-manager plugin.
2. Execute the command to renew the SSL certificate for the specified domain.
3. Confirm the renewal process to the user.

Best Practices

• Specificity: Provide the full domain name when requesting certificate checks or renewals.
• Context: If encountering errors, provide the full error message to Claude for better troubleshooting.
• Verification: After renewal, always verify the new certificate is correctly installed and functioning.

Integration

This skill can be used in conjunction with other security-related plugins to provide a comprehensive security overview. For example, it can be integrated with vulnerability scanning tools to identify potential weaknesses related to outdated or misconfigured certificates.
