Network engineer building multivendor CLI & AI tools for NetOps. 9,800+ commands for Cisco, Juniper, Arista. Automation, observability, less firefighting.
Hot take: prompting is the least important AI skill. (1/5)
What actually changes results is how you operate the model: like infrastructure, not a chat window.
Here's how I run Claude for engineering work 🧵
Phase 6 of the lab: a detected anomaly now triggers the fix, risk-gated.
LOW: auto-executes
MEDIUM/HIGH: one-click approval
CRITICAL: pages a human, never auto-acts
Changes use confirmed-commit (RFC 6241): no confirm, auto-revert.

An AI agent with write access to production network gear and no rollback isn't automation. It's an outage with extra steps.
My rules:
- Read-only by default
- Sanitize before the model sees anything
- Fail closed when policy is unclear
- A human owns the blast radius
Build log: claude-skill-lint v0.5.
A Claude Code skill's description loads into context every turn; the body only when it fires. A bloated description is a permanent tax.
The linter flags that, plus dead links, secrets and stale model IDs. Zero deps.

Network engineers: what would you let an AI agent do on your production network today with no human approving it?
Read-only show commands? Drafting tickets? Low-risk changes with auto-rollback? Nothing at all?
Curious where the line is for you. #NetDevOps
netlog-ai 1.2.0 adds a SolarWinds connector.
Orion (parameterized SWQL) or the Observability SaaS API: alerts, syslog and events are normalized to one line format, then ranked like any other source. Alert notes and acks happen only on an explicit call.

netlog-ai v1.1.0 is out.
Spine-leaf link degrades, NOC gets hundreds of BFD/BGP/VTEP alarms. v1.1 finds the lowest-layer root cause and suppresses the noise.

netlog-ai 0.7.0: syslog in, ranked actions out, and now a sanitized incident handoff.
The ticket paste card is built from health score, blast radius and change window, then run through the same secret gate as an LLM prompt. Raw syslog stays out.

The paste that goes into the ticket should not be the raw log.
0.7 of netlog-ai builds the shift brief on the machine. Secrets are stripped first. Nothing is posted for you.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
SpaceXAI just dropped the best 1-hour course on Grok Bot agents: from 1 prompt to a full 24/7 system
2:15 - Build your first Grok Bot
6:52 - Give every Bot a role
16:51 - Make Bots work 24/7
31:50 - Run agents in parallel
52:18 - full autonomous system
Free, the best thing on Grok Bot agents I've come across.
