    description: Query and monitor UniFi network via local gateway API (Cloud Gateway Max / UniFi OS). Use when the user asks to "check UniFi", "list UniFi devices", "show who's on the network", "UniFi clients", "UniFi health", "top apps", "network alerts", "UniFi DPI", or mentions UniFi monitoring/status/dashboard.

    # UniFi Network Monitoring Skill
    
    Monitor and query your UniFi network via the local UniFi OS gateway API (tested on Cloud Gateway Max).
    
    ## Purpose
    
    This skill provides **read-only** access to your UniFi network's operational data:
    - Devices (APs, switches, gateway) status and health
    - Active clients (who's connected where)
    - Network health overview
    - Traffic insights (top applications via DPI)
    - Recent alarms and events
    
    All operations are **GET-only** and safe for monitoring/reporting.
    
    ## Setup
    
    Create the credentials file: `~/.clawdbot/credentials/unifi/config.json`
    
    ```json
    {
      "url": "https://10.1.0.1",
      "username": "api",
      "password": "YOUR_PASSWORD",
      "site": "default"
    }
    ```
    
    - `url`: Your UniFi OS gateway IP/hostname (HTTPS)
    - `username`: Local UniFi OS admin username
    - `password`: Local UniFi OS admin password
    - `site`: Site name (usually `default`)
    
    ## Commands
    
    All commands support optional `json` argument for raw JSON output (default is human-readable table).
    
    ### Network Dashboard
    
    Comprehensive view of all network stats (Health, Devices, Clients, Networks, DPI, etc.):
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/dashboard.sh
    bash scripts/dashboard.sh json  # Raw JSON for all sections
    ```
    
    **Output:** Full ASCII dashboard with all metrics.
    
    ### List Devices
    
    Shows all UniFi devices (APs, switches, gateway):
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/devices.sh
    bash scripts/devices.sh json  # Raw JSON
    ```
    
    **Output:** Device name, model, IP, state, uptime, connected clients
    
    ### List Active Clients
    
    Shows who's currently connected:
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/clients.sh
    bash scripts/clients.sh json  # Raw JSON
    ```
    
    **Output:** Hostname, IP, MAC, AP, signal strength, RX/TX rates
    
    ### Health Summary
    
    Site-wide health status:
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/health.sh
    bash scripts/health.sh json  # Raw JSON
    ```
    
    **Output:** Subsystem status (WAN, LAN, WLAN), counts (up/adopted/disconnected)
    
    ### Top Applications (DPI)
    
    Top bandwidth consumers by application:
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/top-apps.sh
    bash scripts/top-apps.sh 15  # Show top 15 (default: 10)
    ```
    
    **Output:** App name, category, RX/TX/total traffic in GB
    
    ### Recent Alerts
    
    Recent alarms and events:
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/alerts.sh
    bash scripts/alerts.sh 50  # Show last 50 (default: 20)
    ```
    
    **Output:** Timestamp, alarm key, message, affected device
    
    ## Workflow
    
    When the user asks about UniFi:
    
    1. **"What's on my network?"** → Run `bash scripts/devices.sh` + `bash scripts/clients.sh`
    2. **"Is everything healthy?"** → Run `bash scripts/health.sh`
    3. **"Any problems?"** → Run `bash scripts/alerts.sh`
    4. **"What's using bandwidth?"** → Run `bash scripts/top-apps.sh`
    5. **"Show me a dashboard"** or general checkup → Run `bash scripts/dashboard.sh`
    
    Always confirm the output looks reasonable before presenting it to the user (check for auth failures, empty data, etc.).
    
    ## Notes
    
    - Requires network access to your UniFi gateway
    - Uses UniFi OS login + `/proxy/network` API path
    - All calls are **read-only GET requests**
    - Tested endpoints are documented in `references/unifi-readonly-endpoints.md`
