## Workflows

### 1. JunOS OSPF Health Check
```
show ospf overview → area count, SPF runs, LSA count
→ show ospf neighbor → verify all adjacencies Full
→ show ospf interface brief → check interface states (DR/BDR/DROther)
→ show ospf database summary → LSA count per type
→ show ospf statistics → error counters, retransmits
→ Flag: neighbors not Full, interface cost mismatches, high retransmit counts
→ GAIT
```

### 2. JunOS BGP Session Audit
```
show bgp summary → peer state, prefixes received, session uptime
→ show bgp neighbor {peer} → per-peer: hold time, keepalive, AFI/SAFI, import/export policy
→ show route advertising-protocol bgp {peer} → what we advertise
→ show route receive-protocol bgp {peer} → what we receive
→ Flag: peers not Established, prefix count anomalies, flapping sessions
→ GAIT
```

### 3. MPLS LSP Verification
```
show mpls lsp name {lsp} detail → path, state, bandwidth
→ show rsvp session → RSVP session state
→ show ldp session → LDP adjacency state
→ show route table mpls.0 → label bindings
→ ping mpls rsvp {lsp} → end-to-end LSP verification
→ show ted database extensive → TE topology view
→ GAIT
```

### 4. Route Table Baseline
```
show route summary → route count per table and protocol
→ show route protocol ospf → OSPF-learned routes
→ show route protocol bgp → BGP-learned routes
→ show route protocol static → static routes
→ show route forwarding-table summary → FIB state
→ show pfe route summary → PFE forwarding entries
→ show krt queue → pending route updates (should be 0)
→ GAIT
```

### 5. End-to-End Connectivity Test
```
ping {target} count 5 → basic reachability
→ ping {target} size 1500 count 5 do-not-fragment → MTU verification
→ traceroute {target} no-resolve → path analysis
→ Correlate with show route {target} → verify expected next-hop
→ GAIT
```

## Guardrails

- **All commands are read-only** — show, ping, traceroute only
- **No routing config changes** — never use set/delete protocols via this skill
- **Use count limits on ping** — always specify `count` to avoid infinite pings
- **Use `no-resolve` on traceroute** — avoids DNS timeouts
- **Cross-reference with SoT** — compare route tables with expected prefixes in NetBox/Nautobot
- **Record in GAIT** — every command execution must be logged
