AI SKILL

Dante & AoIP Troubleshooter

Guides an AI assistant through the checks an engineer would make, starting from clock status and sample rate, then switches, EEE, IGMP, latency, DSCP and redundancy.

What it does

Say which devices and switches you have and what Dante Controller shows.

  • Clock first. Most faults follow from clocking, so it starts there.
  • Network checklist. Gigabit, EEE off, IGMP snooping with a querier, hop count and latency.
  • Cited guidance. DSCP values and EEE advice come from Audinate's own documents, with the sources listed.

Where it helps

For devices missing in Dante Controller, dropouts, clock errors, and AES67 or redundancy confusion. Firmware and menus change: the manufacturer's current documents win. It never asks for passwords or access.

How to use it

  1. Add the skill folder to Claude as a Skill, or open the universal prompt file and paste it into ChatGPT, Gemini or any assistant (custom GPT, Gem, system prompt, or the start of a chat).
  2. Describe your problem in your own words. The skill asks the few questions that change the answer.
  3. Check the answer against your equipment manuals and, where it matters, a measurement.

Limits

A skill makes an AI assistant more careful, not infallible. It cannot see your equipment, it can be wrong, and standards and platforms change. Every skill lists its sources and what it does not know, and shows whether a person has validated it. Mains power, RF power and structural work always need a qualified person.
