About

netmiko-ssh-automation is an ECC-origin agent skill for Python network automation with Netmiko. It guides Claude through SSH connection patterns, device-type selection, command execution, output parsing, and safe review of scripts targeting routers, switches, and similar gear. Developers reach for netmiko-ssh-automation when automating show commands, config pushes, or health checks across a fleet without hand-writing fragile Paramiko boilerplate. The skill emphasizes safe connection handling, credential hygiene, and script review before production runs. It fits network engineers and backend developers maintaining infrastructure-as-code or ops tooling in Python.

  • Enforces read-only collection with send_command() by default
  • Requires explicit operator flag before any send_config_set()
  • Adds timeouts, exception handling, and bounded batch execution
  • Uses TextFSM parsing when templates are available
  • 7 safety defaults including no hardcoded credentials and limited concurrency
