routeros-scripting skillA

routeros-scripting is agent-read markdown (skill) from tikoci/routeros-skills: RouterOS scripting language and CLI configuration idioms for .rsc files and interactive commands. Use when: writing or reviewing RouterOS scripts, scheduler/netwatch/on-event snippets, idempotent CLI config, :local/:global/:foreach/:do syntax, [find] selectors, print as-value handling, script permissions, or when the user mentions .rsc, RouterOS script, scripting tips, or CLI config automation..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# RouterOS Scripting & CLI Config

RouterOS scripts (`.rsc`, `/system/script`, scheduler `on-event`, Netwatch hooks, and
interactive CLI snippets) use RouterOS's own language. It is **not shell, Lua, Python,
or Tcl**. For the syntax baseline, see [references/syntax.md](./references/syntax.md).
This skill focuses on the traps that LLMs are likely to confidently get wrong.

## Do Not Use Interactive Row Numbers in Scripts

Interactive `print` output shows temporary row numbers (`0`, `1`, `2`...) for the
current console buffer. They are **not stable object IDs** and are not usable inside
scripts.

```routeros
# WRONG in scripts — "1" is only an interactive print-buffer row number
/ip/route/set 1 gateway=3.3.3.3

# Better — internal IDs have a * prefix, but can change if objects are removed/re-added
/ip/route/set *1 gateway=3.3.3.3

# Best — resolve the target at runtime
/ip/route/set [find dst-address="0.0.0.0/0"] gateway=3.3.3.3
```

For generated config, use stable selectors such as `comment=`, `name=`, or a unique
address/list value. Internal IDs are visible in `print as-value` as `.id=*HEX`.

## Treat `[find]` Results as ID Arrays
