pihole-dot-upstream-failover

This skill should be used when adding DNS-over-TLS (DoT) as a Pi-hole upstream resolver, when evaluating cloudflared for DoT/DoH proxying, when a "no fallback DNS" or "DNS failures should surface" constraint needs to coexist with wanting resilience against a recursive resolver (e.g. Unbound) going down, when pihole-FTL --config dns.upstreams rejects an unquoted value as invalid JSON, or when designing an alerted (not silent) failover watcher for infrastructure that must not silently mask its own failures. Trigger phrases include "cloudflared proxy-dns", "cloudflared DoT deprecated", "pihole DNS over TLS", "stubby DoT", "pihole-FTL --config dns.upstreams", "dns.upstreams invalid JSON", "Unbound fallback resolver", "no fallback DNS constraint", "alerted failover watcher", "silent fallback DNS", "pihole upstream failover".

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Will this work with your setup?

No harness stated by the author and no install path convention detected. Compatibility is untested.

We have not run this skill against a task with and without it enabled, so we cannot tell you whether it improves anything, what it costs in tokens, or whether it duplicates behaviour your harness already has. When we have run that test, the result will appear on this page with the task, the versions and the budget it used.
