DNS lookups with doggo and readable HTTP requests with httpie — modern networking tools for the terminal.

  • SKILL.md covers doggo (DNS client), httpie (HTTP client) and Guidelines
  • Reaches cloudflare-dns.com

What it does

C Network is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. DNS lookups with doggo and readable HTTP requests with httpie — modern networking tools for the terminal.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/c-network”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. 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 (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • cloudflare-dns.com

    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

C Network loads about 398 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 55 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~398

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.

Networking

doggo (DNS client)

bash
# Basic DNS lookup
doggo example.com

# Specific record type
doggo example.com MX
doggo example.com AAAA
doggo example.com TXT
doggo example.com NS
doggo example.com CNAME

# Use specific nameserver
doggo example.com --nameserver 1.1.1.1
doggo example.com --nameserver 8.8.8.8

# DNS over HTTPS
doggo example.com --class IN --type A --nameserver https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query

# JSON output
doggo example.com --json

httpie (HTTP client)

Human-friendly alternative to curl:

bash
# GET request
http GET api.example.com/users

# POST with JSON body
http POST api.example.com/users name=John email=john@example.com

# Headers
http GET api.example.com Authorization:"Bearer token123"

# Download file
http --download https://example.com/file.zip

# Form upload
http --form POST api.example.com file@photo.jpg

# With auth
http -a user:password GET api.example.com/protected

# Follow redirects
http --follow GET example.com

# Show only response headers
http --headers GET example.com

# Verbose (show request + response)
http --verbose GET example.com

Guidelines

  • Use doggo for DNS debugging instead of dig or nslookup
  • Use http (httpie) for API testing instead of curl — output is colorized and formatted
  • For POST requests, httpie auto-detects JSON vs form data
  • key=value sends as JSON string, key:=123 sends as JSON number
