homelab-network-setup

homelab-network-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ufy2024/AuC. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,151 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A practical guide to planning a home or small-lab network, including routers, switches, Wi-Fi access points, IP addresses, DHCP, DNS, and cabling. DHCP automatically gives devices network addresses, while DNS gives names to those devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design the network layout, choose device roles, plan address ranges and reservations, and prepare for servers, isolated devices, local DNS, or remote access.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common problems such as two routers competing, unstable Wi-Fi, changing server addresses, or having to rebuild the network when adding a NAS, VLANs, or VPN.

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.

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-setup 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 6d 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 Setup

Use this skill to design a home or small-lab network that can grow without needing a full rebuild.

When to Use

  • Planning a new home network or redesigning an ISP-router-only setup.
  • Choosing gateway, switch, and access point roles.
  • Designing IP ranges, DHCP scopes, static reservations, and DNS.
  • Preparing for future VLANs, Pi-hole, NAS, lab servers, or VPN access.
  • Troubleshooting a new network that has double NAT, unstable Wi-Fi, or changing server addresses.

How It Works

Start by separating device roles:

Internet
  |
Modem or ONT
  |
Gateway or router      NAT, firewall, DHCP, DNS, inter-VLAN routing
  |
Managed switch         wired clients, AP uplinks, optional VLAN trunks
  |
Access points          Wi-Fi only; ideally wired backhaul
Servers and NAS        stable addresses, DNS names, monitoring
Clients and IoT        DHCP pools, isolated later if VLANs are available

Pick a gateway that matches the operator, not just the feature checklist:

Option Best fit Notes
ISP router Basic internet only Limited control and often poor VLAN support
UniFi gateway Managed home network Good UI, ecosystem lock-in
OPNsense or pfSense Flexible homelab Strong VLAN, firewall, VPN, and DNS control
MikroTik Advanced network users Powerful, but easy to misconfigure
Linux router Tinkerers Document rollback before using as primary gateway

IP Plan

Avoid the most common default, 192.168.1.0/24, when you expect to use VPNs. It often conflicts with hotels, offices, and ISP routers.

Example small homelab plan:

192.168.10.0/24  trusted clients
192.168.20.0/24  IoT and media devices
192.168.30.0/24  servers and NAS
192.168.40.0/24  guest Wi-Fi
192.168.99.0/24  network management

Gateway convention: .1
Infrastructure reservations: .2 through .49
Dynamic DHCP pool: .50 through .240
Spare room: .241 through .254

Use home.arpa for local names. It is reserved for home networks and avoids the leakage/conflict problems of ad hoc names like home.lan.
