# Netmiko SSH Automation

Use this skill when writing or reviewing Python automation that connects to
network devices with Netmiko. Keep the default path read-only; config changes
need a separate change window, peer review, and rollback plan.

## When to Use

- Collecting `show` command output across routers, switches, or firewalls.
- Building a small audit script for interface, routing, or config evidence.
- Adding timeouts and exception handling to network SSH scripts.
- Parsing command output with TextFSM when a template exists.
- Reviewing automation before it touches production devices.
