foxglove SKILL.md skillA

foxglove from robium-ai/robium is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add robium-ai/robium/foxglove@git:20260907.863840e

Pins git:20260907.863840e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Visualize live or recorded ROS robot data remotely with Foxglove or Lichtblick.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Foxglove and Lichtblick

Treat remote visualization as a chain: ROS graph, bridge, network, client, and
layout. Find the first link without evidence.

## Choose the client deliberately

- **Lichtblick:** prefer an inspectable open-core viewer, local/offline use, or
  a browser client you can host and extend yourself.
- **Foxglove:** prefer its managed data, fleet, organization, and support
  services, or when the team already uses its layouts and platform.
- Both clients can consume a Foxglove WebSocket and recordings for the common
  ROS workflow. Re-check current licensing and self-hosting terms before making
  them an architecture dependency.

Read [client choices](CLIENTS.md) when licensing, hosting, extensions, or
managed services affect the decision. If the visualization tool itself has not
been chosen, use `visualization` first.

## Trace the live-data chain

- Prove the ROS topics and QoS locally before blaming the bridge.
- Run the bridge near the ROS graph; DDS discovery should not need to cross a
  browser, NAT boundary, or public internet.
- Keep its unauthenticated WebSocket on a private network, VPN, or SSH tunnel.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robium-ai/robium/foxglove@sha256:e1a031f24f736091

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.863840e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
