# Cisco IOS Patterns
Use this skill when reviewing Cisco IOS or IOS-XE snippets, building a
change-window checklist, or explaining how to collect evidence from a router or
switch without making the incident worse.
## When to Use
- Reviewing IOS or IOS-XE configuration before a planned change.
- Choosing read-only `show` commands for troubleshooting.
- Checking ACL wildcard masks and interface direction.
- Explaining global, interface, routing process, and line configuration modes.
- Verifying that a change landed in running config and was saved intentionally.
