This usually happens with smaller LLMs. Try switching to a more capable model (Opus or GPT-4) or improving your skill descriptions. The more 'context' and examples you give it in the skill file, the better it performs.

I highly recommend using Claude 3.5 Sonnet for the logic parts, it's way more reliable than GPT-4 for shell commands.

I set this up on my Raspberry Pi and it's been running for 3 months straight. Incredible stability.
