Netmiko Ssh Automation

Teaches Claude safe patterns for writing Netmiko scripts that talk to routers and switches over SSH. Default stance is read-only collection with timeouts, proper exception handling, and no hardcoded credentials. Config changes sit behind an explicit flag, and saving startup config is a separate approval step after verification. Includes working examples for batch collection with bounded concurrency, TextFSM parsing with fallback to raw output, and a guarded config pattern that captures before and after state. The review checklist alone will catch most foot-gun mistakes before they hit production devices. If you write network automation in Python, this will keep you out of trouble.
