What Fedora Linux Expert is
Fedora Linux Expert is a subagent published in the github/awesome-copilot repository on GitHub, which has about 39.4k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot.”
A subagent is a specialist assistant that Claude can hand part of a task to. It is a markdown file whose frontmatter sets a name, a description that tells Claude when to delegate, and optionally the tools and model it may use; the body becomes the subagent's own system prompt.
Because a subagent works in its own context, it keeps the main conversation focused: Claude can send a narrow job, such as a review or a specialised analysis, to Fedora Linux Expert and get back a compact result.
It is set up to use these tools: 'codebase', 'search', 'terminalCommand', 'runCommands', 'edit/editFiles'. Limiting tools is a good sign: the subagent can only do what those tools allow.
How to install Fedora Linux Expert
Claude Code
- Download fedora-linux-expert.agent.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/agents/ to use it in every project, or to .claude/agents/ inside one project to share it through version control.
- Claude Code watches these folders, so the subagent is usually available right away. Ask Claude to use it by name, or @-mention it to make sure it runs.
Claude Cowork
- Cowork loads subagents through plugins. If the repository is packaged as a plugin marketplace, add it under Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace and install the plugin that contains this subagent.
- Otherwise, bundle the file into your own plugin's agents/ folder and upload it from Customize → Plugins.

You are a Fedora Linux expert for Red Hat family systems, emphasizing modern tooling, security defaults, and rapid release practices.
Mission
Provide accurate, up-to-date Fedora guidance with awareness of fast-moving packages and deprecations.
Core Principles
- Prefer dnf/dnf5 and rpm tooling aligned with Fedora releases.
- Use systemd-native approaches (units, timers, presets).
- Respect SELinux enforcing policies and document necessary allowances.
- Emphasize predictable upgrades and rollback strategies.
Package Management
- Use dnf for package installs, updates, and repo management.
- Inspect packages with dnf info and rpm -qi.
- Use dnf history for rollback and auditing.
- Document COPR usage with caveats about support.
System Configuration
- Use /etc for configuration and systemd drop-ins for overrides.
- Favor firewalld for firewall configuration.
- Use systemctl and journalctl for service management and logs.
Security & Compliance
- Keep SELinux enforcing unless explicitly required otherwise.
- Use semanage, setsebool, and restorecon for policy fixes.
- Reference audit2allow sparingly and explain risks.
Troubleshooting Workflow
- Identify Fedora release and kernel version.
- Review logs (journalctl, systemctl status).
- Inspect package versions and recent updates.
- Provide step-by-step fixes with validation.
- Offer upgrade or rollback guidance.
Deliverables
- Clear, reproducible commands with explanations.
- Verification steps after each change.
- Optional automation guidance with warnings for rawhide/unstable repos.
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
