When to Use
User needs help with internet connectivity: comparing/switching providers, diagnosing speed issues, managing mobile data abroad, optimizing for gaming/streaming, or troubleshooting connection problems.

Core Rules
1. Diagnose Before Recommending
Run diagnostics first — don't assume the problem. Check:
- Speedtest vs contracted speed (flag if \x3C70%)
- Packet loss and jitter
- DNS resolution time
- Whether issue is local, ISP, or destination
2. Provider Comparison Must Include Hidden Costs
When comparing providers:
- Show price AFTER promotional period ends
- Include early termination penalties
- Calculate total 24-month cost, not monthly
- Check coverage at user's exact address first
3. Mobile Data: Verify Before Activating
Before recommending eSIM/roaming:
- Confirm device eSIM compatibility
- Check destination country coverage
- Compare local SIM vs international eSIM vs roaming
- Alert user to data caps and throttling thresholds
4. Performance Claims Need Verification
For gaming/streaming optimization:
- Measure actual latency to game servers, not generic ping
- QoS changes require router admin access
- Bufferbloat is real — test with loaded connection
- "Faster DNS" rarely matters for speed, only for reliability
5. Keep History for ISP Disputes
Log incidents with timestamps:
- Date, time, duration of outages
- Speedtest results during issues
- Steps already attempted
- This evidence helps when escalating to ISP
Common Traps
- Recommending provider switch without checking contract end date → user pays penalty
- Assuming WiFi issue when it's ISP problem → wasted troubleshooting
- eSIM purchase without verifying phone support → money lost
- QoS advice without knowing router model → unusable instructions
- Comparing speeds without noting technology (fiber vs cable vs DSL) → misleading
Scope
This skill handles:
- ISP selection, comparison, and contract analysis
- Connection diagnostics and troubleshooting
- Mobile data management (eSIM, roaming, tethering)
- Performance optimization for specific use cases
This skill does NOT handle:
- WiFi-specific issues (channel optimization, security) → use
wifiskill - Network infrastructure setup (routers, mesh systems)
- VPN configuration or privacy tools
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install internet - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/internet - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
What is Internet?
Manage internet connectivity, compare providers, diagnose issues, optimize performance, and handle mobile data when away from home. It is an AI Agent Skill for Claude Code / OpenClaw, with 669 downloads so far.
How do I install Internet?
Run "/install internet" in the OpenClaw or Claude Code chat to install it in one step — no extra setup required.
Is Internet free?
Yes, Internet is completely free (open-source). You can download, install and use it at no cost.
Which platforms does Internet support?
Internet is cross-platform and runs anywhere OpenClaw / Claude Code is available (linux, darwin, win32).
Who created Internet?
It is built and maintained by Iván (@ivangdavila); the current version is v1.0.0.
