netwalk-diag

netwalk-diag is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ripmilla/netwalk. It costs 110 tokens per session (2,485 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only diagnostic workflow for network devices and Linux or Windows servers. It collects configuration, system health, interface, traffic, service, and log information, then identifies likely problems and their severity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate routers, switches, firewalls, and servers after credentials and the device type are known. It can examine CPU, memory, storage, temperature, PoE, interface errors, connections, services, and logs.
Why use it?
It helps explain what is wrong without changing the device or server being checked. Every command runs through an evidence log, while suggested changes remain for the site owner to decide.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

netwalk-diag 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.

netwalk-diag

Part of the netwalk read-only network survey toolkit. Toolkit lives at {{TOOLKIT}}.

netwalk-scan answers what is out there. This skill answers what is wrong with it.

Read-only, and it is enforced

Config is exported, never imported or edited. Not one command changes device state — that includes clear counters, dmesg -C, systemctl restart and debug, all of which the gate refuses. If a device needs a change, that is a finding with a recommendation, and the site owner decides. Run everything through netwalk_exec.py so the guarantee holds and the command lands in the evidence log.

1. Collect

Assumes a credential exists (netwalk-login) and the vendor is known.

T={{TOOLKIT}}
python3 $T/scripts/netwalk_exec.py run --site acme-hq --host gw01 \
  --cmd-file $T/scripts/packs/mikrotik.config.txt \
  --out ~/.netwalk/sites/acme-hq/configs/gw01.conf \
  --evidence ~/.netwalk/sites/acme-hq/evidence.jsonl

python3 $T/scripts/netwalk_exec.py run --site acme-hq --host gw01 \
  --cmd-file $T/scripts/packs/mikrotik.health.txt \
  --evidence ~/.netwalk/sites/acme-hq/evidence.jsonl

Packs: mikrotik, cisco, aruba, hp, fortinet, linux, windows, each with a .config.txt, a .health.txt and a .security.txt. Record the exported config path in config_export_path — relative to the site folder, never pasted into the report.

Run the security pack too, and run it with --out — it deliberately pulls the parts of the configuration that hold community strings and key material, so its output must land on disk rather than in the conversation:

python3 $T/scripts/netwalk_exec.py run --site acme-hq --host gw01 \
  --cmd-file $T/scripts/packs/mikrotik.security.txt \
  --out ~/.netwalk/sites/acme-hq/configs/gw01.security.txt \
  --evidence ~/.netwalk/sites/acme-hq/evidence.jsonl

Always use --out for a config export. With --out the full text is written straight to a 0600 file and only a one-line summary is printed. Without it, the whole config comes back through you — and a vendor config is packed with PSKs, SNMP communities, RADIUS secrets, password hashes and container environment variables. Anything that reaches you is transmitted to a model API and written into the session transcript, and neither can be un-sent.

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.

netwalk-diag is a skill published in the GitHub repository ripmilla/netwalk (78 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 2,485 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-30.
