DNS lookups with doggo and readable HTTP requests with httpie — modern networking tools for the terminal.

Purpose

To equip users with modern, readable command-line tools for debugging DNS and interacting with APIs, simplifying common networking tasks.

Features

  • Perform DNS lookups for various record types
  • Make human-friendly HTTP requests (GET, POST, etc.)
  • Colorized and formatted output for readability
  • Support for custom nameservers and DoH
  • Download files and perform form uploads via HTTP

Use Cases

  • Debugging DNS resolution issues
  • Testing API endpoints with readable requests
  • Quickly checking network connectivity
  • Replacing `dig`, `nslookup`, and `curl` with more user-friendly alternatives

Non-Goals

  • Performing complex network diagnostics beyond basic DNS and HTTP
  • Acting as a full-featured network analysis suite
  • Managing network infrastructure

Practical Utility

  • info:Edge casesWhile happy path examples are shown, specific failure modes or recovery steps for edge cases like invalid DNS queries or non-existent URLs are not explicitly documented.

Documentation

  • info:Configuration & parameter referenceThe parameters for 'doggo' and 'httpie' are demonstrated in examples but not explicitly documented with default values or a comprehensive reference.

Maintenance

  • critical:Commit recencyThe last commit was on March 6, 2026, which is over 2 months ago and indicates potential unmaintained status.

Trust

  • warning:Issues AttentionThere is 1 open issue and 0 closed issues in the last 90 days, indicating slow responsiveness or lack of maintenance.

Code Execution

  • info:Error HandlingError handling is dependent on the underlying CLI tools; explicit structured error reporting for the skill itself is not evident.

Install

  • warning:Installation instructionWhile the README demonstrates usage, explicit installation instructions for 'doggo' and 'httpie' themselves are missing; users are expected to manage tool installation.

Errors

  • info:Actionable error messagesError messages are dependent on the underlying CLI tools. While they typically indicate issues, remediation steps are not explicitly provided by the skill's documentation.
