What it does
Hier Config Troubleshoot is an agent skill from netdevops/hier_config. Use when hierconfig produces wrong or unexpected output — incorrect remediation commands, missing or extra negations, repeated commands, lines nested under the wrong parent, DuplicateChildError, inaccurate future() or rollback results, or config lines parsed incorrectly.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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. The repository describes itself as: Hierarchical Configuration. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Hierconfig produces wrong
- Unexpected output — incorrect remediation commands
- Extra negations
- Repeated commands
Example prompts
- “/hier-config-troubleshoot”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 806c654. 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:
gitpoetry
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Hier Config Troubleshoot loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 560 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Troubleshoot hier_config Behavior
Diagnose why hier_config produced unexpected output. Work from a minimal reproduction, identify which layer is responsible (parsing → driver rules → diff algorithm), then fix at the source with a regression test.
Step 1: Reproduce Minimally
Reduce the problem to the smallest config pair that shows it, using inline tuples — no fixture files needed:
from hier_config import Platform, get_hconfig_fast_load
running_config = get_hconfig_fast_load(Platform.CISCO_IOS, ("hostname foo",))
generated_config = get_hconfig_fast_load(Platform.CISCO_IOS, ("hostname bar",))
print("\n".join(running_config.config_to_get_to(generated_config).dump_simple()))Bisect: delete config lines until removing one more makes the symptom disappear. That line (and its ancestry) is where to look. If the report compares platforms ("works on X, broken on Y"), reproduce both platforms — claimed-working references are often wrong, and the platforms that actually differ tell you which rule is responsible. If the raw config parses differently than expected, compare get_hconfig() (full parse with preprocessing) against get_hconfig_fast_load() (no preprocessing) — a difference means a per_line_sub/full_text_sub/config_preprocessor or indentation issue.
Step 2: Inspect the Tree, Not the Text
config.dump_simple()— the parsed tree as indented lines; wrong nesting is visible immediately.running_config.unified_diff(generated_config)— structure-aware diff.config.driver.rules— the live rule set; check what the platform driver actually matches.
Step 3: Match Symptom to Layer
| Symptom | Likely cause | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
Command emitted as no X + Y instead of just Y | Missing idempotency rule — the command is last-write-wins on the device but the driver doesn't know | idempotent_commands in the platform driver; add IdempotentCommandsRule |
Negation has the wrong form (no shutdown vs default shutdown vs truncated args) | Negation rules | negate_with (NegationDefaultWithRule), negation_default_when, or the driver's swap_negation override |
| Lines nested under the wrong parent; everything after line X collapses under it | Irregular indentation in vendor output; an IndentAdjustRule matching too broadly or missing | indent_adjust rules. Real cases: XR template blocks; Huawei peer-public-key end (see git log for #205, #268) |
DuplicateChildError | Platform legitimately repeats a child text under one parent | Add ParentAllowsDuplicateChildRule (see #266 for a real example) |
| Section replaced wholesale (or should be, but isn't) | Sectional overwrite | sectional_overwrite / sectional_overwrite_no_negate (XR route-policy is the canonical case) |
Missing/wrong exit token after a section (exit, quit, end-policy) | Sectional exiting | sectional_exiting rules; exit_text_parent_level for unindented exits |
| Commands in an order the device rejects | Ordering weights | ordering rules (lower weight applies first) |
| Junk lines in the tree (banners, comments, timestamps) | Load-time substitutions | per_line_sub / full_text_sub |
future() or rollback doesn't match real device behavior | Known algorithm limitations | docs/user/future-config.md#known-limitations — duplicate children and order-dependent sections (ACLs need sequence numbers) are documented limits |
| Wrong platform behavior entirely | Wrong driver selected | Confirm the Platform enum member; GENERIC has almost no rules |
Rule semantics reference: docs/user/custom-drivers.md#driver-rule-types. Layer responsibilities: docs/dev/architecture.md.
Show full SKILL.md (156 more words)Show less
Step 4: Confirm Which Rule Fires
Rules match on full ancestry via MatchRule tuples (fields AND together; tuple entries match root→leaf lineage). Test a hypothesis directly:
from hier_config.models import MatchRule
child = running_config.get_child_deep((MatchRule(startswith="interface"), MatchRule(startswith="ip address")))
if child is None:
print("no child matched — the lineage tuple is wrong or the line parsed differently")
else:
print(child, child.is_lineage_match((MatchRule(startswith="interface"),)))If a driver rule should match but doesn't, print the rule set (config.driver.rules.idempotent_commands, etc.) and check each MatchRule field against the actual line text — trailing whitespace and startswith vs equals mismatches are the usual culprits.
Step 5: Fix at the Source
- Driver rule gap (most common): add/adjust the rule in the platform driver's
_instantiate_rules()— recipe indocs/dev/extending.md. - Core algorithm (
base.py,root.py,child.py): rare; readdocs/dev/architecture.mdfirst and checkgit logfor related fixes before changing shared behavior. - User-side workaround (can't wait for a release): customize the driver at runtime —
docs/user/custom-drivers.md#customizing-existing-drivers.
Every fix ships with a regression test that reproduces the original symptom (docs/dev/testing.md, round-trip idiom) and a CHANGELOG.md entry. Fixes to one platform must not leak: run the full suite (poetry run ./scripts/build.py lint-and-test), not just the platform's test file.
