I want to install the "vmware-aiops" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into your project mkdir -p .claude/skills/vmware-aiops && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/vmware-aiops/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zw008/VMware-AIops/main/skills/vmware-aiops/SKILL.md" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Use this skill whenever the user needs to manage VMs in VMware/vSphere/ESXi — it's the entry point for all VM operations. Directly handles: power on/off, clone, snapshot, migrate, deploy from OVA or templates, run commands inside VMs, batch operations, cluster management, and vCenter alarm acknowledgment. Always use this skill for any "power on", "clone", "deploy", "migrate", "batch", "guest exec", "alarm", or VM lifecycle task when the context is explicitly VMware, vSphere, or ESXi. Do NOT use for read-only queries (use vmware-monitor), NSX networking (use vmware-nsx), storage/iSCSI/vSAN (use vmware-storage), or Kubernetes cluster lifecycle (use vmware-vks). For multi-step workflows use vmware-pilot. For load balancing/AVI/AKO use vmware-avi.

VMware Family — Install What You Need
vmware-aiops is the entry point. Add modules for additional capabilities: | Module | Install | Adds | |--------|---------|------| | vmware-monitor | uv tool install vmware-monitor | Read-only inventory, alarms, events | | vmware-storage | uv tool install vmware-storage | iSCSI, vSAN, datastore management | | vmware-vks | uv tool install vmware-vks | Tanzu Kubernetes (vSphere 8.x+) | | vmware-nsx | uv tool install vmware-nsx-mgmt | NSX networking: segments, gateways, NAT | | vmware-nsx-security | uv tool install vmware-nsx-security | DFW microsegmentation, security groups | | vmware-aria | uv tool install vmware-aria | Aria Ops metrics, alerts, capacity | | vmware-avi | uv tool install vmware-avi | AVI load balancer, ALB, AKO, Ingress | > Each module stays independent — small tool count keeps local models (Ollama, Qwen) accurate.
