type:debug

OpenStack networking debug operations skill for SDN troubleshooting, packet tracing, and flow analysis. Covers OVS/OVN debugging (ovs-vsctl, ovs-ofctl, ovs-appctl, ovn-nbctl, ovn-sbctl, ovn-trace), security group analysis via OVS flow rules and conntrack, DHCP troubleshooting through namespace inspection and dnsmasq diagnostics, floating IP diagnosis with NAT rule and ARP verification, network namespace inspection (ip netns), MTU chain analysis for overlay networks, DNS resolution debugging, and east-west traffic diagnosis. Use when diagnosing network connectivity failures, tracing packets through the SDN stack, or analyzing flow tables in a running OpenStack cloud.

From the source SKILL.md

Networking debug is the most hands-on troubleshooting domain in cloud operations. Virtual networks add multiple abstraction layers between user intent and physical packets -- an instance's traffic passes through a tap device, a Linux bridge or OVS port, integration bridge flows, tunnel encapsulation, and physical NIC before reaching the wire. When connectivity breaks, the operator must trace through every layer to find where packets stop flowing.

What this skill does

openstack-networking-debug is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/networking-debug/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when diagnosing network connectivity failures, tracing packets through the SDN stack, or analyzing flow tables in a running OpenStack cloud.

Who uses this skill

The openstack-networking-debug Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure.
