Skill UI

A comprehensive guide and pattern library for reviewing, troubleshooting, and safely modifying Cisco IOS and IOS-XE configurations. This skill outlines best practices for using read-only 'show' commands, validating ACL wildcard masks, managing configuration hierarchy, and following stringent change control procedures to prevent network disruptions.

A structured workflow designed to prevent 'reinventing the wheel.' Before writing custom code, this skill guides the user through analyzing needs, conducting parallel searches across multiple channels (npm, PyPI, GitHub, MCP), evaluating candidate solutions based on maintainability and community support, and making a decision (Adopt, Extend, or Custom Build). It ensures that solutions leverage existing, proven libraries and patterns.
