Pushing config to a device
SKILL.md covers Golden Rule, Change Workflow, Change Documentation and Compliance Templates, plus 2 more sections
Calls python3
What it does
Pyats Config Mgmt is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. Direct, pyATS-based network change management - pre-change baselines, configuration deployment, post-change verification, rollback procedures, and compliance validation. Use when pushing config to a device, planning a network change, rolling back a configuration, or running compliance checks outside of a governed workflow platform. When the change should go through Itential's golden-config/compliance engine instead, use itential-automation.
Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Regulatory compliance. The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
Pushing config to a device
Planning a network change
Rolling back a configuration
Running compliance checks outside of a governed workflow platform
Example prompts
“/pyats-config-mgmt”
Requirements
Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Pyats Config Mgmt loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 694 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Always· name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs· the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k
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.

Configuration Management
Golden Rule
NEVER apply configuration without first capturing a baseline. If the change goes wrong, you need to know what to roll back to.
Change Workflow
Phase 1: Pre-Change Baseline
Capture the current state of everything the change might affect.
Policy selection comes from AGENTS.md: an API-created Terminal Intent Local/Lab
record for explicitly authorized lab endpoints uses local approval/audit instead
of ServiceNow/mandatory GAIT. This exception is not inferred from an environment
variable or missing credentials. Read-only preparation, real baseline and rollback
artifacts, an API APPLY PHASE and verification remain required. Never evade an
actual tool-level denial with another transport. All other requests follow the
production change policy below.
When ServiceNow is available ($SERVICENOW_MCP_SCRIPT is set), every configuration change MUST be gated by an approved Change Request.
For emergency changes (network outage, security incident):
Notify human immediately
Create CR with category "Emergency"
Proceed with change (approval gate bypassed)
CR must be retroactively approved within 24 hours
GAIT Audit Trail
Record every phase of the change in GAIT:
bash
python3 $MCP_CALL "python3 -u $GAIT_MCP_SCRIPT" gait_record_turn '{"user_text":"Example only: replace with the actual authorized request.","assistant_text":"Config change on R1: Phase 1 baseline captured. Phase 2 plan approved. Phase 3 config applied. Phase 4 verification PASSED. ServiceNow CR CHG0012345 closed successful.","artifacts":[]}'
The 5-phase workflow with GAIT creates an immutable record:
Baseline → GAIT commit with pre-change state
Plan → GAIT commit with change plan and CR number
Apply → GAIT commit with exact commands pushed
Verify → GAIT commit with post-change state and diff
Document → GAIT commit with final summary and CR closure
Audit examples are illustrative. Replace request, outcomes, identifiers and counts
with observed session evidence; do not record these example results as facts.
Inspect MCP isError, returned ok, and the recorded turn with gait_show when
validating a new client/schema. Follow gait-session-tracking for branch checkout.
