do-networking-and-edge

do-networking-and-edge is a skill for Claude Code from jsgerman-oss/blackrim-nimbus-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,901 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for connecting and protecting DigitalOcean resources at the network edge. It covers private networks, load balancers, IP addresses, DNS, firewalls, content delivery for stored files, and reverse DNS.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design regional VPCs, expose services through load balancers, manage DNS and IPs, write firewall rules, route static files through a CDN, and configure reverse DNS.
Why use it?
It helps make services reachable where needed while controlling private traffic, internet exposure, failover, and domain routing.

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

do-networking-and-edge 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 12d 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.

DigitalOcean Networking and Edge

When to use

  • Designing a VPC for a new environment or migrating resources into private networking.
  • Exposing a service to the internet via a Load Balancer.
  • Setting up Floating IPs or Reserved IPs for failover or static entry points.
  • Managing DNS zones and records for a domain.
  • Writing or auditing Cloud Firewall rules.
  • Routing traffic through Spaces CDN for static assets.
  • Configuring PTR (reverse DNS) records for mail servers or compliance requirements.

VPC layout — the default

DigitalOcean VPCs are per-region, not global. Every datacenter region has its own VPC namespace.

  • One VPC per environment per region. Dev, stage, and prod each get their own VPC. Resources in the same VPC share a private RFC-1918 network; traffic between VPCs or regions is over the public internet unless you use a private tunnel (WireGuard, Tailscale, or a Droplet-based VPN).
  • Default VPC: every new DigitalOcean account and project has a default VPC per region. Do not use the default VPC for production — you have no control over its CIDR and cannot rename or segment it meaningfully.
  • CIDR planning: choose a /20 or /16 range that does not overlap with other VPCs you will ever need to peer or tunnel. Common picks: 10.10.0.0/16 (prod), 10.20.0.0/16 (stage), 10.30.0.0/16 (dev) — adjust to your broader network plan.
  • Multi-VPC: DigitalOcean does not offer VPC peering as a first-party feature (as of 2026). Cross-VPC connectivity requires a Droplet-based VPN or overlay network (WireGuard, Tailscale). Account for this latency and operational overhead before designing a multi-VPC topology.
  • Resource placement: always specify the VPC UUID when creating Droplets, Managed Databases, and DOKS clusters. Resources without an explicit VPC land in the default VPC.

Cloud Firewall

DigitalOcean Cloud Firewall is stateful and applied at the hypervisor layer — it sits between the internet and the Droplet, before any in-guest firewall.

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.
