hpe-networking-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/network-docs/SKILL.md

network-docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from secure-ssid/hpe-networking-mcp. It costs 133 tokens per session (3,222 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local reference and search skill for HPE Aruba and Juniper Mist networking. It answers networking questions from a stored document index rather than relying on memory alone.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports how-to and design questions, API lookups, document searches, CVE and advisory checks, hardware-spec queries, and AOS-CX release comparisons.
Why use it?
It helps find configuration guidance, API details, security advisories, hardware specifications, and release differences in the relevant documentation.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

This is secure-ssid/hpe-networking-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on hpe-networking-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything hpe-networking-mcp configures →

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-docs 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

network-docs skill

You have access to a local RAG index via the hpe-networking-mcp MCP server. Always use MCP tools to answer — never guess from model memory alone.

Tool selection

Use the router pattern: find_tool first, then invoke_read_tool.

Question type Tool to use When
How-to, config, concepts, design ask_docs "how do I configure X", "what is Y", "design guidance for Z"
Exact API endpoint / field / enum lookup_api "what endpoint creates X", "what values does field Y accept"
Broader keyword search, want raw chunks search_docs exploratory, multiple results wanted
Security advisory / CVE lookup_advisory CVE IDs, advisory IDs, product vulnerability lookup
Exact hardware datasheet spec lookup_hardware_specs "CX6300 switching capacity", "EX4400 PoE budget", "AP-635 specs" — curated catalog, not a document search
Exact AOS-CX release comparison compare_aoscx_releases "what changed on CX 6100 from 10.13 to 10.16" — structured feature and release-note delta

Follow-up questions and comparisons

Short follow-ups such as "what about 10.16 code?" are not standalone questions. Preserve the prior product, platform, and comparison target, then rewrite the follow-up into a standalone retrieval query before calling ask_docs. Pass the same bounded summary in context when using the router, for example:

{
  "query": "what about 10.16 code?",
  "context": "Comparing Juniper EX4000 with Aruba CX 6100; the question is about AOS-CX software support and VSF."
}

For hardware comparisons, retrieve exact model facts with lookup_hardware_specs first. For AOS-CX version questions such as CX 6100 on 10.16, use compare_aoscx_releases with explicit platform, from_version, and to_version; use ask_docs for explanatory prose around the result. Do not infer an equivalence from product names alone.

Source filters for ask_docs / search_docs

Narrow with source= when the topic is clearly vendor-specific:

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.
