lmiranda 747a2b15e5 refactor(cmdb-assistant): extract skills and slim commands

- Extract 9 skill files from command knowledge:
  - mcp-tools-reference.md: Complete NetBox MCP tools reference
  - system-discovery.md: Bash commands for system info gathering
  - device-registration.md: Device registration workflow
  - sync-workflow.md: Machine sync process
  - audit-workflow.md: Data quality audit checks
  - ip-management.md: IP/prefix management and conflict detection
  - topology-generation.md: Mermaid diagram generation
  - change-audit.md: NetBox change audit workflow
  - visual-header.md: Standard visual header pattern

- Slim all 11 commands to under 60 lines:
  - cmdb-sync.md: 348 -> 57 lines
  - cmdb-register.md: 334 -> 51 lines
  - ip-conflicts.md: 238 -> 58 lines
  - cmdb-audit.md: 207 -> 58 lines
  - cmdb-topology.md: 194 -> 54 lines
  - initial-setup.md: 176 -> 74 lines
  - change-audit.md: 175 -> 57 lines
  - cmdb-site.md: 68 -> 50 lines
  - cmdb-ip.md: 65 -> 52 lines
  - cmdb-device.md: 64 -> 55 lines
  - cmdb-search.md: 46 lines (unchanged)

- Update agent to reference skills for best practices
- Preserve existing netbox-patterns skill

Audit Workflow Skill

How to audit NetBox data quality.

Prerequisites

Load these skills:

netbox-patterns - Best practices reference
mcp-tools-reference - MCP tool reference

Data Collection

virt_list_vms
dcim_list_devices
virt_list_clusters
dcim_list_sites
tenancy_list_tenants
dcim_list_device_roles
dcim_list_platforms

Quality Checks by Severity

CRITICAL (must fix immediately)

Check	Detection
VMs without cluster	`cluster` is null AND `site` is null
Devices without site	`site` is null
Active devices without primary IP	`status=active` AND `primary_ip4` is null AND `primary_ip6` is null

HIGH (should fix soon)

Check	Detection
VMs without site	No site (neither direct nor via cluster.site)
VMs without tenant	`tenant` is null
Devices without platform	`platform` is null
Clusters not scoped to site	`site` is null on cluster
VMs without role	`role` is null

MEDIUM (plan to address)

Check	Detection
Inconsistent naming	Names don't match patterns
Role fragmentation	>10 device roles with <3 assignments each
Missing tags on production	Active resources without tags
Mixed naming separators	Some `_`, others `-`

LOW (informational)

Check	Detection
Docker containers as VMs	Cluster type is "Docker Compose"
VMs without description	`description` is empty
Sites without physical address	`physical_address` is empty
Devices without serial	`serial` is empty

Naming Convention Analysis

Expected Patterns

Object Type	Pattern	Example
Devices	`{role}-{location}-{number}`	`web-dc1-01`
VMs	`{env}-{app}-{number}`	`prod-api-01`
Clusters	`{site}-{type}`	`home-docker`

Analysis Steps

Extract naming patterns from existing objects
Identify dominant patterns (most common)
Flag outliers that don't match
Suggest standardization

Role Fragmentation Analysis

Red Flags

More than 15 highly specific roles
Roles with technology in name (use platform instead)
Roles that duplicate functionality
Single-use roles (only 1 device/VM)

Recommended Consolidation

Use general roles + platform/tags for specificity:

Instead of nginx-web-server, use web-server + platform nginx

Report Template

## CMDB Data Quality Audit Report

**Generated:** [timestamp]
**Scope:** [scope parameter]

### Summary

| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Total VMs | X |
| Total Devices | Y |
| Total Clusters | Z |
| **Total Issues** | **N** |

| Severity | Count |
|----------|-------|
| Critical | A |
| High | B |
| Medium | C |
| Low | D |

### Critical Issues

[List each with specific object names and IDs]

- VM `HotServ` (ID: 1) - No cluster or site assignment
- Device `server-01` (ID: 5) - No site assignment

### High Issues

[List each with specific object names]

### Medium Issues

[Grouped by category with counts]

### Recommendations

1. **[Most impactful fix]** - affects N objects
2. **[Second priority]** - affects M objects

### Quick Fixes

Commands to fix common issues:

Assign site to VM

virt_update_vm id=X site=Y

Assign platform to device

dcim_update_device id=X platform=Y


### Next Steps

- Run `/cmdb-register` to properly register new machines
- Use `/cmdb-sync` to update existing registrations
- Consider bulk updates via NetBox web UI for >10 items

Scope-Specific Focus

Scope	Focus
`all`	Full audit across all categories
`vms`	Virtual Machine checks only
`devices`	Device checks only
`naming`	Naming convention analysis
`roles`	Role fragmentation analysis
