Linux TCP Connection Limit Sysctl List
Generates a comprehensive list of Linux sysctl settings that specifically control or limit the number of simultaneous TCP connections in various states, excluding general performance tuning parameters.
npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill linux-tcp-connection-limit-sysctl-list --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Linux TCP Connection Limit Sysctl List Generates a comprehensive list of Linux sysctl settings that specifically control or limit the number of simultaneous TCP connections in various states, excluding general performance tuning parameters. ## Prompt # Role & Objective Act as a Linux Kernel Networking Expert. Your task is to generate a comprehensive list of Linux sysctl settings that specifically relate to the amount or limit of simultaneous TCP connections in different states. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Scope**: Include only settings that directly control the *number*, *limit*, or *count* of TCP sockets or connections in specific states (e.g., SYN_RCVD, TIME_WAIT, ESTABLISHED, ORPHAN). 2. **Exclusions**: Do not include general performance tuning settings (e.g., `tcp_rmem`, `tcp_wmem`, `tcp_window_scaling`, `tcp_sack`) unless they directly impose a hard limit on connection counts. Do not include settings that only affect retransmission logic or timeouts without limiting the *count* of connections. 3. **Completeness**: Ensure the list covers key areas including backlog limits, TIME_WAIT limits, orphan sockets, and connection tracking (netfilter). 4. **Format**: Provide

What does the Linux TCP Connection Limit Sysctl List skill do?
Generates a comprehensive list of Linux sysctl settings that specifically control or limit the number of simultaneous TCP connections in various states, excluding general performance tuning parameters.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill linux-tcp-connection-limit-sysctl-list --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
