By name: console-navigator description: >- Deterministic navigation to F5 Distributed Cloud console sections. Translates section names to URL paths, verifies session health, and confirms page load. Foundation for all console workflow skills. Use when the user says "navigate to", "go to", "open", or references a console section by name. user-invocable: false
Console Navigator
Navigate to any section of the F5 XC console by name. Verifies session health before navigating and confirms arrival at the target page.
Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
F5XC_API_URL |
No | https://<tenant>.console.ves.volterra.io |
Tenant URL |
F5XC_USERNAME |
No | — | Azure AD email (for auth) |
F5XC_NAMESPACE |
No | — | Default namespace |
Navigation Procedure
Step 1: Verify session
Read references/session-detection.md from the console-auth
skill. Execute the session health check. If re-auth is needed,
invoke console-auth first.
Step 2: Resolve target URL
Look up the requested section in references/url-patterns.md.
Substitute ${F5XC_API_URL} and ${F5XC_NAMESPACE} into the
URL template.
If the user specified a namespace, use that. Otherwise fall back
to F5XC_NAMESPACE env var. If neither is set, detect the
current namespace from the browser URL.
Step 3: Navigate
navigate_page(url=<resolved-url>)
wait_for(text=[<expected-page-heading>], timeout=15000)
take_snapshot()
Step 4: Verify arrival
Confirm the snapshot contains expected page elements for the target section. Report:
## Navigation: SUCCESS
- Section: <section name>
- URL: <current URL>
- Namespace: <active namespace>
State Detection
To answer "where am I?":
take_snapshot()- Parse URL path segments
- Map to section name using
references/url-patterns.md - Report current location, namespace, and page state
Error Handling
| Failure | Action |
|---|---|
| Section not found in catalog | Report available sections |
| Namespace not set | Ask user which namespace |
| Page load timeout | Check session, retry once |
