What it does

Netbox Lookup is an agent skill from papadopouloskyriakos/agentic-chatops. Look up infrastructure devices, VMs, IPs, VLANs, and interfaces from NetBox CMDB. Use this skill FIRST for any question about what a host is, where it lives, its IP, VLAN, or role. Covers all NL and GR sites (310+ objects). Preferred over LibreNMS for device identification.

Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `netbox-lookup.sh`).

The repository describes itself as: 3-tier agentic ChatOps (n8n + GPT-4o + Claude Code) implementing all 21 patterns from "Agentic Design Patterns" — solo operator managing 137 devices.

Example prompts

  • “/netbox-lookup”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. RUN THE TOOL FIRST. Do NOT answer from memory. NetBox is the source of truth for infrastructure identity.
  2. Do NOT escalate lookups. Questions about device info, IPs, VLANs are YOUR job (Tier 1).
  3. Do NOT recommend the command to the user. YOU run it yourself using the exec tool.
  4. Use this BEFORE infra-triage.sh when you need to identify what a host is.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 473f057. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    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

Netbox Lookup loads about 618 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 175 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~618

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 175 words (~618 tokens).
