Smbutils | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Use when inspecting, validating, repairing, importing into, or maintaining a Synchronet Message Base (SMB) file — mail (mail.shd), message sub-boards (data/subs/ .shd), or file bases (data/file/ .shd) — via the smbutil, chksmb, or fixsmb command-line tools. Trigger whenever the user mentions smbutil, chksmb, fixsmb, SMB files, .shd / .sdt / .sid / .sha files, "the mail base", "rebuild/renumber the message base", "pack the sub", "check the message base for corruption", "repair an SMB", "dump a hash file", "view headers", "import a message", or any low-level inspection, validation, or repair of a Synchronet messaging file that isn't doable from inside the BBS or MsgBase JS API. Prefer this skill over guessing flags or shelling out blind.
