What problem does it solve?
This Skill diagnoses and helps repair common network connectivity failures such as no internet access, Wi‑Fi problems, DNS resolution errors, DHCP lease issues, misconfigured proxies, and broken/corrupt network settings.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Guided diagnostics with safety gates: First confirms whether the issue is likely router/ISP-side (other devices also affected) before running device-side checks.
- Targeted repair flow: Performs connectivity, interface, Wi‑Fi signal, DHCP renew, DNS flush, proxy, firewall checks, and Wi‑Fi forget/reset as last resort.
- Cross-platform, privilege-aware handling: Executes privileged steps via a helper when available and provides self-service instructions when not.
- Edge-case awareness: Handles captive portals, VPN-block patterns (escalate to vpn-repair), APIPA/DHCP failures, and macOS SSID disclosure limitations.
