parsing-cisco-configs

parsing-cisco-configs is a skill for Codex from fastrevmd-lab/fwskillsshare. It costs 92 tokens per session (6,321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A parser for Cisco ASA and FTD LINA running-configuration text. These are Cisco firewall command-line configurations containing items such as interfaces, access rules, network objects, NAT, routes, VPNs, and failover settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps process running configurations with access lists, access groups, objects, NAT, routes, VPN, and failover settings, while distinguishing them from FMC or FDM policy exports.
Why use it?
It turns line-based Cisco configuration into a shared vendor-neutral format for review, conversion, comparison, summaries, and explanations.

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

parsing-cisco-configs 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 11d 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.

Parsing Cisco ASA / FTD Configurations

Overview

Use this skill to parse Cisco ASA and ASA-style FTD running configurations into the shared vendor-neutral firewall intermediate schema. It focuses on line-oriented show running-config text with parent commands and indented subcommands, including interfaces/nameifs, ACLs/access-groups, network and service objects, object-groups, NAT, routes, VPN, failover, and system settings.

FMC- and FDM-managed policy is not parsed here. An FMC or FDM JSON export has no syntactic overlap with LINA CLI — its policy lives in Access Control Policy rules, security-zone objects, and intrusion/file policies rather than in access-list and access-group lines. Route those exports to parsing-firepower-configs. If an FMC-managed device's LINA running-config is supplied, parse it here and warn that it is the compiled result of an FMC policy, not the policy source.

Scope and routing

Use only for Cisco ASA or FTD syntax. Hand off FortiOS config/edit/next/end blocks to parsing-fortinet-configs, PAN-OS XML or set deviceconfig to parsing-palo-configs, and Junos hierarchy or set security to parsing-srx-configs. Hand off FMC or FDM JSON exports to parsing-firepower-configs. Verify production-bound results against current device documentation and output. Downstream consumers are the audit, conversion, and diff skills.

Runtime intake

Before starting the workflow, inspect the request, supplied artifacts, and available approved read-only evidence. If unresolved facts could materially change safety, scope, correctness, confidence, or the requested output, read references/runtime-intake.md.

For each unresolved material fact whose catalog condition is true, invoke Claude AskUserQuestion or Codex request_user_input before continuing or issuing an open-ended request. Ask at most three single-select catalog questions per round. After each response, ask another round whenever any unresolved material catalog condition remains true; continue only when none remain. Do not repeat answered questions or show the full catalog. Without a native tool, present each selected catalog question with its 2-3 labeled choices and a free-text Other path in concise plain text; do not substitute a generic checklist.

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.

parsing-cisco-configs is a skill published in the GitHub repository fastrevmd-lab/fwskillsshare (8 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 6,321 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
