Curated by Skill Harbor: a planning and review checklist to run before changing a home or small-lab network that mixes VLANs, a local DNS resolver and remote VPN access, from a community contributor, listed here with credit to its creator. Use when preparing to split a flat network into trusted, IoT, guest, server or management VLANs; moving DHCP clients to Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, Unbound or another local resolver; adding WireGuard, Tailscale, ZeroTier, OpenVPN or router-native VPN access; or reviewing whether a change could lock you out of the gateway, switch, access point, DNS server or VPN server. The first answer stays read-only: inventory, risks, staged migration plan, validation evidence and rollback path. Safety rules: never expose gateway admin panels, DNS resolvers, SSH, NAS consoles or VPN management UIs to the public internet; never hand out firewall, NAT, VLAN, DHCP or VPN commands without a confirmed platform and a rollback procedure; require out-of-band or same-room console access before touching management VLANs, trunk ports, firewall default policies or DHCP/DNS settings; keep a working path back to the internet before pointing the whole network at a new resolver or route. From the affaan-m/ECC repository (MIT). Honest caveats: planning guidance, not copy-paste router configs; apply changes in a maintenance window with console access. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Copy the install package below, then paste it into MuseThe install prompt below already includes the vetting steps: your agent follows the community checklist before installing anything with executable code. Want more?
Use "Homelab Network Readiness" with your Muse. 1. Open the skill: https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC/blob/main/skills/homelab-network-readiness/SKILL.md and copy the full SKILL.md text. 2. Paste it into a chat with Muse and add: "Review my plan to split my flat network into VLANs" or "Check my Pi-hole migration plan for lockout risks." 3. Answer the inventory questions first (modem, ISP router mode, current topology, console access); only then ask for implementation steps. Tip: stage the migration one zone at a time (e.g. guest first) and keep a device on the old path until the new one proves itself. Safety: a skill is plain-text instructions; it runs nothing by itself. Never paste router admin credentials or VPN keys into a chat.

Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
