network-bgp-diagnostics

network-bgp-diagnostics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nklofy/code-agent-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,343 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only troubleshooting guide for BGP, the routing protocol networks use to exchange reachable network addresses. It covers neighbor states, route exchange, filtering policies, autonomous system paths, and evidence collection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate down or unstable BGP neighbors, missing or unexpected routes, route-map and prefix-list filtering, and before-and-after evidence for a network change.
Why use it?
It helps determine whether a BGP problem comes from connectivity, a policy, a route limit, or the peer session itself before making changes.

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-bgp-diagnostics 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 3d 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.

Network BGP Diagnostics

Use this skill when a BGP session is down, flapping, established with missing routes, or advertising unexpected prefixes. The default workflow is read-only evidence collection; policy and reset actions belong in a reviewed change window.

When to Use

  • BGP neighbors are stuck in Idle, Connect, Active, OpenSent, or OpenConfirm.
  • A session is Established but expected prefixes are missing.
  • A route-map, prefix-list, max-prefix limit, or AS path policy may be filtering routes.
  • You need before/after evidence for a BGP change.
  • You are reviewing automation that parses BGP summary output.

Read-Only Triage Flow

  1. Identify the exact neighbor, address family, VRF, and local/remote ASNs.
  2. Capture summary state and last reset reason.
  3. Prove reachability to the peer source address.
  4. Check route policy references before assuming transport failure.
  5. Compare advertised, received, and installed routes where the platform supports those commands.
show bgp summary
show bgp neighbors <peer>
show ip route <peer>
show tcp brief | include <peer>|:179
show logging | include BGP|<peer>
show running-config | section router bgp
show ip prefix-list
show route-map

Use platform-specific address-family commands when the device uses VRFs, IPv6, VPNv4, or EVPN. Do not assume global IPv4 unicast.

State Interpretation

State First checks
Established with prefix count Route exchange is up; inspect policy and table selection
Established with zero prefixes Check inbound policy, max-prefix, advertised routes, and AFI/SAFI
Active TCP session is not completing; check routing, source, ACLs, and peer reachability
Connect TCP connection is in progress; check path and remote listener
OpenSent/OpenConfirm TCP works; check ASN, authentication, timers, capabilities, and logs
Idle Neighbor may be disabled, missing config, blocked by policy, or backoff timer

Transport Checks

ping <peer> source <local-source>
traceroute <peer> source <local-source>
show ip route <peer>
show bgp neighbors <peer> | include BGP state|Last reset|Local host|Foreign host

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.
