Prove it's DNS in 30 seconds instead of suspecting it for 3 hours
Systematic DNS debugging: checks resolution from multiple nameservers, validates record chains, detects dangling CNAMEs, verifies DNSSEC, and audits DMARC/SPF/DKIM for email deliverability. Because it's always DNS.
Create a skill called "DNS Detective". Diagnose DNS issues and audit DNS configurations: Mode 1 — Debug: When I report a DNS problem with a domain: 1. Run `dig` against authoritative nameservers AND public resolvers (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1) 2. Trace the full resolution chain (CNAME → CNAME → A/AAAA) 3. Check for dangling records (CNAMEs pointing to non-existent targets) 4. Compare responses across nameservers for inconsistencies 5. Check TTL values and estimate propagation time for recent changes 6. Validate DNSSEC if enabled Mode 2 — Audit: Given a domain or list of domains: 1. List all DNS records from the provider (Route53, Cloudflare, etc.) 2. Identify dangling records (subdomain takeover risk) 3. Audit email records: SPF, DKIM, DMARC 4. Check for common misconfigurations (conflicting CNAME and A records, wildcard issues) 5. Generate Terraform resources for managing the records as code
"It's always DNS" is a meme because it's true. This skill runs the full
diagnostic sequence: check resolution, trace the record chain, compare
nameservers, and look for the common gotchas.
Diagnose CrashLoopBackOff and friends without the kubectl marathon
Give it a namespace or pod name and it runs the full kubectl diagnostic sequence for you — events, logs, describe, resource usage — then explains what's actually wrong in plain English. No more chaining five commands to find out you're missing an environment variable.
Find the 0.0.0.0/0 rule that was "temporary" 3 years ago
Audits AWS security groups and K8s network policies for overly permissive rules, unused rules, and conflicts. Cross-references VPC Flow Logs to identify rules that are never hit and can be safely removed.
