fast-wifi

fast-wifi is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ohong/agent-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,719 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A macOS troubleshooting guide for measuring and improving the active Wi‑Fi or internet connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps identify the active network, record connection details, test latency and speed, check captive-portal access, and compare changes safely.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with before-and-after measurements, showing whether the problem is on the local Wi‑Fi network, with the internet connection, or elsewhere.

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 B, and why

fast-wifi scanned grade B 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/wifi_snapshot.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- `sudo ifconfig awdl0 down` and `sudo ifconfig llw0 down` can reduce periodic Wi-Fi latency spikes from Apple peer interfaces, but they need an admin password and can affect AirDrop/AirPlay/Continuity. Restore with `up`

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fast Wi-Fi

Goal

Improve the active connection when possible, and prove what changed with before/after measurements. Treat the current network state as authoritative; if the user names an SSID, verify the Mac is actually on it before acting. On public or captive networks, prefer reversible joins, GUI-assisted authentication, and clear evidence over speculative tuning.

Core Workflow

  1. Identify the active interface and route.

    • Prefer networksetup -listallhardwareports to confirm Wi-Fi is en0.
    • Run route -n get default, scutil --nwi, ipconfig getsummary en0, and system_profiler SPAirPortDataType.
    • Use scripts/wifi_snapshot.sh en0 for a compact first pass.
  2. Establish a baseline before changing anything.

    • Record SSID or network evidence, gateway, IP, PHY mode, band, channel width, signal/noise, transmit rate, DNS, proxy state, first-hop latency, public latency, captive/auth state, and networkQuality -I en0 -s.
    • Separate idle latency from loaded throughput. First-hop latency to the gateway proves whether the issue starts on the local Wi-Fi/AP path.
    • If comparing close candidates, take at least two samples or treat download/upload differences under about 10% as noise. Prefer the network with lower loss, lower first-hop latency, and better loaded responsiveness when throughput is effectively tied.
  3. Interpret the bottleneck.

    • Weak signal: RSSI worse than about -70 dBm, poor SNR, low MCS, or low transmit rate.
    • Bad AP/channel contention: good RSSI but narrow channel width, low or bouncing transmit rate, first-hop jitter/loss, or many neighboring APs on the same channel.
    • Public/captive shaping: open network, option 82 or captive-network markers, good RSSI but very low throughput and high first-hop latency.
    • VPN/proxy issue: default route through utun*, active VPN process, or configured proxy.
    • Private Relay or per-network privacy issue: captive portals, rate-limited sites, or network-auth pages fail while basic IP connectivity works; inspect "Limit IP address tracking" and Private Wi-Fi Address mode only when symptoms point there.
    • Background traffic issue: speed test responsiveness is poor and Activity Monitor or nettop shows sync/backup/media/download traffic competing for the public link.
    • DNS issue: gateway and public pings are healthy, but resolver queries are slow or failing.
    • ISP/uplink issue: first hop is clean but external latency/throughput is poor.

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.

fast-wifi is a skill published in the GitHub repository ohong/agent-skills (3 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,719 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
