NetClaw: A CCIE-Level AI Network Engineering Coworker
Not a chatbot bolted onto a CLI — a coworker that reasons, executes in parallel, and shows its work.
NetClaw is a CCIE-level AI network engineering coworker. It is built to reason about real networks, run work across a fleet in parallel, and present results in a way an engineer can act on — not a single green or red checkmark.
Getting started
- Work through the getting-started tutorial on the NetClaw template page.
- Use the readiness rubric to score how prepared your environment is.
- Your scores persist locally so you can track progress between sessions.
Results you can act on: the pCall pattern
When NetClaw runs work across many devices, it does not collapse the outcome into one aggregate pass/fail. Every device's individual result is shown, failures are isolated so one device cannot block the rest, and the list is sorted by severity.
- A timeout links to a connectivity check.
- An auth failure links to the vault.
- A severity legend with per-severity counts makes the summary scannable.
