Use when connecting to or operating a Batocera arcade/retro-gaming cabinet over SSH: establishing the connection, understanding its read-only rootfs and /userdata layout, finding config/log/ROM paths, applying changes safely, verifying a display/config change end-to-end without a controller, or diagnosing why a setting reverts to its default on every launch (configgen). Foundation for the other batocera-* skills (roms, display, tuning, maintenance). Covers sshpass, batocera.conf…
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
# Batocera Ops Foundation for operating a Batocera cabinet with a coding agent over SSH. Read this first; the sibling skills (`batocera-roms`, `batocera-display`, `batocera-tuning`, `batocera-maintenance`) assume the connection pattern, path model, and safety doctrine defined here. ## Overview Batocera is an immutable-rootfs Linux distro for retro gaming. The system partition is **read-only**; everything you can change lives under `/userdata`. EmulationStation (ES) is the frontend; RetroArch and standalone emulators do the playing. Configuration is layered: a single `batocera.conf` holds most settings, but launch-time code (configgen) regenerates per-emulator configs on every launch, so hand-edits to the generated files get stomped. Getting these two facts right prevents most wasted sessions. ## Connecting Batocera defaults to password SSH (no key from a fresh client). Parameterize the host so nothing is hardcoded: ```bash export BATOCERA_HOST=192.168.1.50 # your cabinet's LAN IP ``` Batocera's **documented default credentials are `root` / `linux`.** If yours still uses them, change the password (ES menu → System Settings → Security, or …

How to install
mdr add t3chnaztea/batocera-skills/batocera-ops@sha256:e85f9f3781b66164The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260704.7dd30bb, 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.
