What it does

Add Radius Vendor is an agent skill from talkincode/toughradius. Add or extend vendor VSA parsing and response enhancement (TR-F005). Use when ToughRADIUS must recognize a vendor's request VSAs, or emit that vendor's proprietary attributes in Access-Accept.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 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: A powerful, open-source RADIUS server designed for ISPs, enterprise networks, and carriers. Supports standard RADIUS protocols, a full EAP / 802.1X authentication suite (EAP-TLS… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • ToughRADIUS must recognize a vendors request VSAs
  • Emit that vendors proprietary attributes in Access-Accept

Example prompts

  • “s request VSAs, or emit that vendor”
  • “/add-radius-vendor”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Constants / dictionary: define the VendorCode and VSA constants under internal/radiusd/vendors// (reference huawei). If the vendors…
  2. Parser: implement the parser at internal/radiusd/plugins/vendorparsers/parsers/_parser.go, mirroring huawei_parser.go's interface and…
  3. Register the parser: in parsers/init.go's init(), call vendors.Register(&vendors.VendorInfo{Code: vendors.Code, ...Parser: &Parser{}}).
  4. Enhancer (if emitting response attributes): implement internal/radiusd/plugins/auth/enhancers/_enhancer.go, mirroring huawei_enhancer.go…
  5. Sample-based tests: add _parser_test.go / _enhancer_test.go covering parsing and emission with real attribute samples.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ef9c294. 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:

    • go

    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

Add Radius Vendor loads about 590 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~590

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.

Skill: Add Vendor VSA Parsing / Response Enhancement

Feature ID: TR-F005 | Milestone: M5

When to use

When ToughRADIUS must recognize a vendor's request VSAs, or emit that vendor's specific attributes in Access-Accept.

Pre-research (read before writing)

text
grep_search "VendorCode" --include internal/radiusd/**
file_search "internal/radiusd/plugins/vendorparsers/parsers/*_parser.go"
file_search "internal/radiusd/plugins/auth/enhancers/*_enhancer.go"
view internal/radiusd/plugins/vendorparsers/parsers/init.go      # registration point
view internal/radiusd/vendors/<existing-vendor>/                 # dictionary & constants

Key insight: a dictionary != a parser. A dictionary only describes attributes; without a parser they are never extracted.

Implementation steps

  1. Constants / dictionary: define the VendorCode and VSA constants under internal/radiusd/vendors/<vendor>/ (reference huawei). If the vendors package lacks the Code<Vendor> constant, add it first.
  2. Parser: implement the parser at internal/radiusd/plugins/vendorparsers/parsers/<vendor>_parser.go, mirroring huawei_parser.go's interface and field extraction.
  3. Register the parser: in parsers/init.go's init(), call vendors.Register(&vendors.VendorInfo{Code: vendors.Code<Vendor>, ...Parser: &<Vendor>Parser{}}).
  4. Enhancer (if emitting response attributes): implement internal/radiusd/plugins/auth/enhancers/<vendor>_enhancer.go, mirroring huawei_enhancer.go (rate, VLAN, etc.).
  5. Sample-based tests: add <vendor>_parser_test.go / <vendor>_enhancer_test.go covering parsing and emission with real attribute samples.

Conventions

  • Vendor bandwidth-unit differences and binary-vs-decimal conversions must carry inline comments explaining the "why".
  • Rate / VLAN / MAC-binding behavior must be semantically consistent with existing vendors.

Acceptance

  • go test ./internal/radiusd/... passes
  • golangci-lint run reports no new issues
  • Both new vendor parsing and response have sample test coverage
  • PR references TR-F005 and the milestone ID
