routeros-quickchr
From the author
Ground RouterOS config/scripts/API code against a REAL router using quickchr (@tikoci/quickchr) — a CLI + Bun/TS library that downloads, boots, and manages MikroTik CHR VMs on QEMU. Use when: validating generated RouterOS config or scripts against real RouterOS before trusting them; spinning up a disposable CHR for REST/CLI/API iteration; writing integration/lab tests against CHR; needing host↔guest networking for a CHR (port-forward, L2/MNDP capture, guest→host UDP); driving an external RouterOS tool against a live CHR. For raw QEMU/CHR boot mechanics (VirtIO, UEFI vs SeaBIOS, acceleration) without quickchr, use routeros-qemu-chr instead.

- routeros-quickchr-clitikoci/routeros-skillsAnswer a RouterOS question by asking RouterOS. quickchr boots a real, disposable MikroTik CHR router on the local machine under QEMU — no hardware, no cloud, gone when you remove it — and centrs drives it. Covers the shell path end to end: the add/start/stop/shutdown/remove lifecycle, getting the shell back (--no-wait; --bg does not), getting REST endpoints and credentials out of a machine, L2 links between two VMs, provisioning (device-mode) that applies at first boot and the set route after it, and RouterOS 6 as a boot-only target. Pinned to quickchr 0.5.2. Use when: checking a claim or config against real RouterOS instead of guessing; needing a throwaway router for REST/CLI/API iteration; giving a shell script or CI job a router to talk to. For TypeScript harnesses that import the QuickCHR class, use routeros-quickchr instead.Engineering★ 79
- routeros-qemu-chrtikoci/routeros-skillsMikroTik RouterOS CHR (Cloud Hosted Router) with QEMU. Use when: running RouterOS in QEMU, booting CHR images, debugging CHR boot failures, setting up VirtIO devices for RouterOS, choosing between SeaBIOS and UEFI boot, configuring QEMU port forwarding for RouterOS REST API, setting up inter-VM socket networking or host-side L2 capture of guest broadcasts (e.g. MNDP), or selecting QEMU acceleration (KVM/HVF/TCG).Engineering★ 79
- routeros-centrstikoci/routeros-skillsUse whenever a task touches a real MikroTik RouterOS device or CHR: reading or changing config, running a RouterOS CLI command non-interactively, checking a command is well-formed before sending it, moving files on or off a device, discovering neighbors, or doing the same thing across several routers. Reach for centrs (@tikoci/centrs, CLI + Bun/TS) rather than hand-rolling curl against /rest or scripting ssh: it resolves the router's address, credentials, port and protocol from your WinBox address book or a quickchr VM, validates the RouterOS command before it runs, and returns one structured envelope (data, warnings, tips, meta) whatever transport carried it - REST, native API, SSH/SFTP, MAC-Telnet, MNDP. Also covers the parts agents routinely miss: offline `explain`, `--json`, fan-out, the `--yes` write gate, and how to read a rejection. Not for booting the CHR itself (routeros-quickchr-cli from a shell, routeros-quickchr for the library) or for RouterOS documentation (rosetta MCP, routeros-fundamentals).Writing★ 79
- routeros-cmrtikoci/routeros-skillsConfigure or debug MikroTik CMR on RouterOS 7.26beta1: the optional cmr controller package, built-in /cmr/client, routed controller-addresses or neighbor discovery, TCP/54321, independent pairing requirements, labels, fleet scripts, alerts and HTTP webhooks, topology, upgrade rules, package directories and backup/export limitations. Use for a CMR controller or client, waiting-for-pairing, CMR alert or upgrade rules, fleet run-script, or the /cmr menus. Use routeros-quickchr for a disposable CMR lab and routeros-centrs for validated device operations. CMR monitors RouterOS clients; it is not a general SNMP/ping replacement for The Dude.Planning★ 79
- routeros-webfigtikoci/routeros-skillsBuild RouterOS WebFig deep links for human review of connections, addresses, VLANs, bridges, firewall rules and CMR. Covers the hash-fragment URL scheme, object links, login redirects, browser token storage, and embedding the router UI in a native WebView. Use when linking a human to RouterOS views or integrating WebFig into an app. Grounded on CHR 7.24.5 and version-specific CMR checks; use routeros-centrs for machine configuration.Design★ 79
- routeros-netinstalltikoci/routeros-skillsMikroTik netinstall-cli for automated RouterOS device flashing. Use when: automating netinstall, writing scripts that invoke netinstall-cli, building netinstall tooling, understanding etherboot/BOOTP/TFTP protocols, working with RouterOS package files (.npk), using modescript or configure script, or when the user mentions netinstall, etherboot, or device flashing.Writing★ 79
