NetBox
Use this skill for NetBox inventory and metadata work.
Quick start
- Read
references/conventions.mdbefore making changes. - Retrieve NetBox credentials with:
zhj rbw::get --json "Netbox (AI Agent)"
If rbw is locked, invoke the rbw skill to unlock it first.
- Treat retrieved credentials as secrets and never commit them.
Workflow
- Identify whether the task is about inventory modeling, metadata cleanup, purchase information, or product links.
- Read
references/conventions.mdand load only the relevant sections for the task. - When purchase details are missing, use the
bichonskill for read-only lookup of invoices, order confirmations, and related email records. - Normalize the NetBox data to the conventions in the reference file before writing changes.
- When changing physical connectivity on a device, update the corresponding device type templates as well.

Safety rules
- Never commit credentials, tokens, or exported secrets.
- Prefer normalized custom fields over hiding important data in comments.
