What it does

Eve Lab Topology Build is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. Build or rewire EVE-NG lab topology. Use when creating or deleting virtual networks, connecting node interfaces to networks, inspecting topology links, checking interface mappings, or listing available node templates before wiring a lab.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/network-and-interface-reference.md` and `references/wiring-guardrails.md`).

The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Deleting virtual networks
  • Connecting node interfaces to networks
  • Inspecting topology links
  • Checking interface mappings

Example prompts

  • “/eve-lab-topology-build”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the current topology first with eve_get_topology or eve_list_node_interfaces.
  2. Before rewiring, follow {baseDir}/references/wiring-guardrails.md.
  3. Create or reuse the required network object.
  4. Connect interfaces only after confirming IDs from {baseDir}/references/network-and-interface-reference.md.
  5. Re-read topology after the change; do not trust the write response alone.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa90e7d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • EVE_PASSWORD

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Eve Lab Topology Build loads about 530 tokens when it runs, and up to ~871 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 203 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~530
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~871

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

EVE Lab Topology Build

Use this skill for network objects and interface wiring inside an existing EVE-NG lab.

Workflow

  1. Read the current topology first with eve_get_topology or eve_list_node_interfaces.
  2. Before rewiring, follow {baseDir}/references/wiring-guardrails.md.
  3. Create or reuse the required network object.
  4. Connect interfaces only after confirming IDs from {baseDir}/references/network-and-interface-reference.md.
  5. Re-read topology after the change; do not trust the write response alone.

Available tools

  • eve_get_topology
  • eve_list_networks
  • eve_create_network
  • eve_delete_network
  • eve_list_node_interfaces
  • eve_connect_interface
  • eve_list_node_types

When to read references

  • Read {baseDir}/references/wiring-guardrails.md for stop/start, direct-segment, node-ID, and image-verification rules.
  • Read {baseDir}/references/network-and-interface-reference.md for network types and interface-index guidance.

Failure Behavior

  • If a tool call fails with an authentication or connection error, check that EVE_PASSWORD, EVE_URL, EVE_USER are set and valid before assuming a data or device problem.
  • On a tool error (timeout, unreachable host, malformed response), report the failure and its error message directly to the user rather than fabricating or guessing at results.
  • For a confirmed read-only call, check connectivity and retry once if appropriate. For any call that changes state or sends a message, a timeout does not prove the action failed: inspect current state or delivery status before retrying, preserve the required approval/change gates, and do not repeat an action whose outcome is unknown.
