About
The c-network skill provides modern CLI tools for network debugging and API testing, featuring doggo for DNS lookups and httpie for human-readable HTTP requests. It enables DNS queries with various record types and nameservers, plus intuitive HTTP interactions with JSON support and file transfers. Use this skill when you need to troubleshoot network issues or test APIs directly from your terminal with cleaner output than traditional tools.

doggo (DNS client)
# Basic DNS lookup
doggo example.com
# Specific record type
doggo example.com MX
doggo example.com AAAA
doggo example.com TXT
doggo example.com NS
doggo example.com CNAME
# Use specific nameserver
doggo example.com --nameserver 1.1.1.1
doggo example.com --nameserver 8.8.8.8
# DNS over HTTPS
doggo example.com --class IN --type A --nameserver https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query
# JSON output
doggo example.com --json
httpie (HTTP client)
Human-friendly alternative to curl:
# GET request
http GET api.example.com/users
# POST with JSON body
http POST api.example.com/users name=John [email protected]
# Headers
http GET api.example.com Authorization:"Bearer token123"
# Download file
http --download https://example.com/file.zip
# Form upload
http --form POST api.example.com [email protected]
# With auth
http -a user:password GET api.example.com/protected
# Follow redirects
http --follow GET example.com
# Show only response headers
http --headers GET example.com
# Verbose (show request + response)
http --verbose GET example.com
Guidelines
- Use
doggofor DNS debugging instead ofdigornslookup - Use
http(httpie) for API testing instead of curl — output is colorized and formatted - For POST requests, httpie auto-detects JSON vs form data
