c-network

c-network is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daxaur/openpaw. It costs 24 tokens per session (413 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A terminal networking guide built around doggo for DNS lookups and HTTPie for sending readable web requests. DNS connects domain names to network records, while HTTP requests communicate with web servers and APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect DNS records, query a chosen name server, send GET or POST requests, include headers or authentication, upload or download files, follow redirects, and view request or response details.
Why use it?
It makes common network checks and API calls easier to read and repeat from the command line.

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

c-network scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Networking

doggo (DNS client)

# Basic DNS lookup
doggo example.com

# Specific record type
doggo example.com MX
doggo example.com AAAA
doggo example.com TXT
doggo example.com NS
doggo example.com CNAME

# Use specific nameserver
doggo example.com --nameserver 1.1.1.1
doggo example.com --nameserver 8.8.8.8

# DNS over HTTPS
doggo example.com --class IN --type A --nameserver https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query

# JSON output
doggo example.com --json

httpie (HTTP client)

Human-friendly alternative to curl:

# GET request
http GET api.example.com/users

# POST with JSON body
http POST api.example.com/users name=John [email protected]

# Headers
http GET api.example.com Authorization:"Bearer token123"

# Download file
http --download https://example.com/file.zip

# Form upload
http --form POST api.example.com [email protected]

# With auth
http -a user:password GET api.example.com/protected

# Follow redirects
http --follow GET example.com

# Show only response headers
http --headers GET example.com

# Verbose (show request + response)
http --verbose GET example.com

Guidelines

  • Use doggo for DNS debugging instead of dig or nslookup
  • Use http (httpie) for API testing instead of curl — output is colorized and formatted
  • For POST requests, httpie auto-detects JSON vs form data
  • key=value sends as JSON string, key:=123 sends as JSON number

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
