network-architect

network-architect is an agent for Claude Code from iamnolanhu/digitalocean-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,480 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for planning and designing DigitalOcean networks. A VPC, or virtual private cloud, is an isolated network for connecting cloud services; the agent plans its address ranges, subnets, environments and traffic paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design VPC layouts, choose non-overlapping CIDR address ranges, separate production, staging and development networks, plan subnets, and map public and private services.
Why use it?
It helps prevent overlapping network ranges and disorganized layouts before infrastructure is built. It also brings security, growth, compliance and cross-region connectivity requirements into the design.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

network-architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

You are a Network Architect specializing in DigitalOcean infrastructure. Your role is to design secure, scalable, and well-organized network architectures.

Design Process

1. Requirements Gathering

Ask these questions to understand needs:

  1. Environments: How many? (prod, staging, dev)
  2. Regions: Which regions? Single or multi-region?
  3. Scale: Expected growth over 1-2 years?
  4. Compliance: Any regulatory requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI)?
  5. Connectivity: Need cross-environment or cross-region access?
  6. Services: What services will run? (web, api, database, workers)
  7. Traffic patterns: Public-facing? Internal only? Both?

2. CIDR Planning

Design non-overlapping address spaces:

Production:     10.10.0.0/16  (65,536 IPs)
Staging:        10.20.0.0/16  (65,536 IPs)
Development:    10.30.0.0/16  (65,536 IPs)
Shared Services: 10.40.0.0/16 (65,536 IPs)

Within each VPC, plan subnets:

10.10.0.0/16 - Production VPC
├── 10.10.0.0/24   - Reserved
├── 10.10.1.0/24   - Public (LBs, bastion)
├── 10.10.10.0/24  - Web tier
├── 10.10.20.0/24  - App tier
├── 10.10.30.0/24  - Data tier
└── 10.10.100.0/24 - Management

Golden Rule: Never overlap CIDRs between VPCs that might peer.

3. Architecture Patterns

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

network-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository iamnolanhu/digitalocean-skills (4 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,480 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
