homelab-network-readiness

homelab-network-readiness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ufy2024/AuC. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,731 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only checklist for preparing changes to a home or small-lab network that uses VLANs, local DNS filtering, and VPN access. It focuses on inventory, risks, staged changes, validation, and rollback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the current topology, confirm console access and a rollback path, plan a safe migration, and define checks before applying configuration changes.
Why use it?
It helps prevent losing access to the router, switch, DNS server, or VPN while changing network settings.

About the project

AuC is a Python framework for running a single AI agent with an asynchronous, pluggable reasoning loop, language-model adapters, permission levels, and observable events. It is used to build coding and conversational agents with tools, security checks, web interfaces, background jobs, evaluations, and isolated execution. The catalogue entries are skills for extending its agent workflow.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Agent Snooping · line 21
    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

homelab-network-readiness 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 9d 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.

Homelab Network Readiness

Use this skill before changing a home or small-lab network that mixes VLANs, Pi-hole or another local DNS resolver, firewall rules, and remote VPN access.

This is a planning and review skill. Do not turn it into copy-paste router, firewall, or VPN configuration unless the target platform, current topology, rollback path, console access, and maintenance window are all known.

When to Use

  • Preparing to split a flat network into trusted, IoT, guest, server, or management VLANs.
  • Moving DHCP clients to Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, Unbound, or another local DNS resolver.
  • Adding WireGuard, Tailscale, ZeroTier, OpenVPN, or router-native VPN access.
  • Reviewing whether a homelab change can lock the operator out of the gateway, switch, access point, DNS server, or VPN server.
  • Turning an informal home-network idea into a staged migration plan with validation evidence.

Safety Rules

  • Keep the first answer read-only: inventory, risks, staged plan, validation, and rollback.
  • Do not expose gateway admin panels, DNS resolvers, SSH, NAS consoles, or VPN management UIs directly to the public internet.
  • Do not provide firewall, NAT, VLAN, DHCP, or VPN commands without a confirmed platform and a rollback procedure.
  • Require out-of-band or same-room console access before changing management VLANs, trunk ports, firewall default policies, or DHCP/DNS settings.
  • Keep a working path back to the internet before pointing the whole network at a new DNS resolver or VPN route.
  • Treat IoT, guest, camera, and lab-server networks as different trust zones until the operator explicitly chooses otherwise.

Required Inventory

Collect this before giving implementation steps:

Area Questions
Internet edge What is the modem or ONT? Is the ISP router bridged or still routing?
Gateway What routes, firewalls, handles DHCP, and terminates VPNs?
Switching Which switch ports are uplinks, access ports, trunks, or unmanaged?
Wi-Fi Which SSIDs map to which networks, and are APs wired or mesh?
Addressing What subnets exist today, and which ranges conflict with VPN sites?
DNS/DHCP Which service currently hands out leases and resolver addresses?
Management How will the operator reach the gateway, switch, and AP after changes?
Recovery What can be reverted locally if DNS, DHCP, VLANs, or VPN routes break?

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.
