# Integrations > NextDNS integration guides for third-party platforms and services. This skill should be used when integrating NextDNS with routers, home automation systems, network management platforms, or other third-party services. It also guides transport selection across DoH, DoT, DoQ, DoH3, IPv6, and legacy DNS. Triggers on tasks involving Tailscale, Home Assistant, Ubiquiti, pfSense, OpenWrt, NextDNS transport selection, or other platform-specific NextDNS configurations. - Skill: `tuanductran/integrations` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 23 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds add tuanductran/integrations` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tuanductran/integrations/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Integrations & APIs - License: MIT - Author: tuanductran (https://skillmd.com/u/tuanductran) - Updated: 2026-09-10 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tuanductran/integrations --- # NextDNS integration skills ##

Adding new integration rules When adding a new integration rule: 1. Create a new file in `rules/` using kebab-case naming 2. Follow the rule template structure from `templates/rule-template.md` 3. Include platform-specific configuration examples 4. Add troubleshooting steps for common issues 5. Register the rule in the appropriate table above 6. Run `pnpm lint:fix` to ensure compliance ### Example integration platforms Consider creating rules for these popular platforms: **Capability Rules**: - Tailscale (mesh VPN) - Home Assistant (smart home automation) - Ubiquiti UniFi (network controller) - OpenWrt (router firmware) - pfSense (firewall/router) - Docker (containerization) - Kubernetes (orchestration) - Synology NAS (network storage) **Efficiency Rules**: - Multi-platform deployment strategy - Integration testing and validation - Backup DNS and failover configuration
