Use when asked about UniFi network gear or the local network — access points, gateway, switches, WiFi, or which clients/devices are connected. Queries the local UniFi gateway via the `unifi` CLI.From its SKILL.md

unifi-cli

CLI for the UniFi Network Integrations API on a local UniFi gateway (Cloud Gateway Ultra, UDM, UDR, etc.).

Prerequisites

unifi is on PATH. bun link installs it to ~/.bun/bin, which may not be on PATH in every shell — try ~/.bun/bin/unifi before assuming it's missing. If it isn't installed, install it (requires Bun):
```
git clone https://github.com/baileywickham/unifi-cli
cd unifi-cli && bun install && bun link
```
API key in UNIFI_API_KEY or ~/.config/unifi-cli/config.json. If missing, the CLI prints setup instructions — relay them to the user instead of guessing. (Keys must be created in the gateway's local web UI, not unifi.ui.com — the CLI's error output and the repo README explain this.)

Commands

Prefer --json when you need to parse the output.

unifi devices --json                 # all UniFi hardware: model, IP, state
unifi device <name|id>               # one device: detail + uptime/cpu/memory
unifi clients [--wired|--wireless]   # connected clients
unifi sites                          # sites (usually just "default")
unifi info                           # network application version

Typical questions this answers: "what APs do I have?" → unifi devices; "is the living room AP up?" → unifi device living-room; "what's on my network?" → unifi clients.

Write actions — ask the user first

unifi device restart <name> and unifi device power-cycle <name> <port> disrupt the network. NEVER run them unless the user explicitly asked for that action in this conversation. These commands prompt interactively, so when running them from Claude pass --yes — but only after the user has explicitly confirmed the action in the conversation.
