Net Detectivev1.0.0

A remote knowledge worker experience repeated video call drops and slow file uploads while working from home. The skill runs DNS checks, traceroute, and MTU detection to distinguish between router issues, ISP congestion, or VPN fragmentation, then outputs a plain-English report with actionable fixes such as changing DNS servers or adjusting VPN MTU settings.

A small retail or office manager notices point-of-sale terminals and VoIP phones intermittently failing. Net Detective compares current latency, packet loss, and DNS resolution against historical baselines to determine whether the problem is local networking gear or the ISP, saving an expensive and time-consuming truck roll.

A competitive gamer experiences rubber-banding and disconnects during matches. The skill identifies early-hop packet loss (local Wi-Fi or router) versus mid-hop ISP problems and checks MTU fragmentation, giving precise, non-technical recommendations like switching to Ethernet or contacting the ISP with evidence.

An internal helpdesk receives repetitive 'internet is slow' tickets. Support technicians run the diagnostic scripts, compare results to historical baselines, and attach the generated plain-English report to tickets, reducing escalation time and providing consistent evidence for network engineering teams.

A frequent traveler checks whether slow hotel Wi-Fi is due to DNS issues, bandwidth throttling, or genuine congestion. The speed test and DNS comparison across providers help them decide whether switching DNS or using a mobile hotspot is worthwhile before an important client call.

The core diagnostic scripts are freely available on GitHub for individual users, while businesses pay for priority support, custom baseline thresholds, and integration assistance. Revenue comes from annual support contracts and one-time onboarding fees.

A cloud-hosted version records diagnostic results over time and alerts users when results deviate from baselines. Teams subscribe per-device or per-seat and get historical charts, scheduled tests, and shareable reports, while the open-source CLI remains a free entry point.

Internet service providers and managed service providers license the diagnostic engine under their own branding to help customers self-triage before calling support. The provider reduces call volume while collecting aggregate data to improve network operations.
