Installing a Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD) host is the small half of this. The large half is that CRD reports several unrelated failures through one misleading message, so the repair path starts by finding out which failure you actually have.
Infra Chrome Remote Desktop is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/infra-chrome-remote-desktop/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when installing, registering, or repairing a Chrome Remote Desktop host on Linux (a VM, an LXC container, or a workstation) - the web client answers "PIN is not valid" although the PIN is right, a session connects and drops straight away, the host shows offline, start-host dies with "Failed to set new config" or "Failed to start host", sudo refuses with "The \"no new privileges\" flag is set", or the host journal logs "pam_acct_mgmt() returned error 7" or "Local login check for <user> failed". Covers the per-connection PAM account check, /etc/shadow group ownership and unix_chkpwd, registering as the target user, single-use OAuth codes, the stored PIN hash, and the chrome-remote-desktop@<user> service.
The Infra Chrome Remote Desktop Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
