cisco-ios-patterns

cisco-ios-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from unrealandychan/clean-code-skill. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,192 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cisco-ios-patterns, MIT.

A guide to reviewing Cisco IOS and IOS-XE, the operating systems used by many Cisco routers and switches. It covers configuration structure, read-only checks, access-control rules, and safe changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review router and switch settings, choose troubleshooting commands, check access-control lists, and plan maintenance-window changes.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of misreading network configuration or locking yourself out during a change. It also provides a careful way to check that a change was applied and saved.

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

cisco-ios-patterns 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 1mo 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.

Cisco IOS Patterns

Use this skill when reviewing Cisco IOS or IOS-XE snippets, building a change-window checklist, or explaining how to collect evidence from a router or switch without making the incident worse.

When to Use

  • Reviewing IOS or IOS-XE configuration before a planned change.
  • Choosing read-only show commands for troubleshooting.
  • Checking ACL wildcard masks and interface direction.
  • Explaining global, interface, routing process, and line configuration modes.
  • Verifying that a change landed in running config and was saved intentionally.

Operating Rules

Treat IOS examples as patterns, not paste-ready production changes. Confirm the platform, interface names, current config, rollback path, and out-of-band access before making changes on a real device.

Prefer this workflow:

  1. Capture current state with read-only commands.
  2. Review the exact candidate config.
  3. Confirm management access cannot be locked out.
  4. Apply the smallest change in a maintenance window.
  5. Re-read state, compare to the baseline, then save only after validation.

Mode Reference

Router> enable
Router# show running-config
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1
Router(config-if)# description UPLINK-TO-CORE
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# end
Router# show running-config interface GigabitEthernet0/1

running-config is active memory. startup-config is what survives reload. Do not save a change just because a command was accepted; validate behavior first, then use copy running-config startup-config if the change is approved.

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.
