BB network-aiops
Use this skill whenever the user needs to operate a network device — read device facts, interfaces (+ counters/IP), BGP/LLDP neighbors (summary and detail), ARP/MAC tables, VLANs, routes, hardware environment (fans/temp/power/CPU/mem), optics, NTP, users, SNMP info, VRFs, and an aggregated device-health summary; run read-only RCA diagnostics on interface health and BGP neighbors; back up a switch/router config, diff a candidate config (dry-run), and merge/replace/rollback config — across Cisco IOS/IOS-XE, Nexus NX-OS, IOS-XR, Arista EOS, and Juniper Junos via NAPALM. An optional NetBox block adds source-of-truth lookups. Always use this skill for "back up switch config", "show bgp neighbors", "diff network config", "push config to router", "show interfaces on the switch", or tasks mentioning "cisco", "arista", "juniper", "nexus", "ios-xr", or "napalm". Do NOT use when the target is not a NAPALM-supported network device (Kubernetes clusters, hypervisor VMs, and cloud consoles are out of scope — route those elsewhere). Common multi-vendor device operations with a built-in governance harness (audit, policy, token budget, undo, risk-tiers).
Use this skill whenever the user needs to operate a network device — read device facts, interfaces (+ counters/IP), BGP/LLDP neighbors (summary and detail)…

What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.
Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.
How to improve
- Shorten the description to 1024 characters.
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 17 mutating operations with no state check

- 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 15 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- low The response is described with custom markup (6 tags): a typed call is more reliable
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
