RouterOS v7 domain knowledge for AI agents. Use when: working with MikroTik RouterOS, writing RouterOS CLI/script commands, calling RouterOS REST API, debugging why a Linux command fails on RouterOS, or when the user mentions MikroTik, RouterOS, CHR, or /ip /system /interface paths. Scope: RouterOS 7.x (long-term and newer) only — v6 is NOT covered and accuracy for v6 problems will be low.
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
# RouterOS Fundamentals ## RouterOS Is NOT GNU/Linux RouterOS runs a Linux kernel (5.6.3) but **everything above the kernel is MikroTik's proprietary `nova` system**. This is the single most important fact for agents to internalize. **What does NOT exist on RouterOS:** - No `/bin`, `/usr`, `/etc`, `/var` — no FHS layout - No bash, sh, ash, zsh — no Unix shell at all - No coreutils (`ls`, `cat`, `grep`, `ps`, `mount`, `ip`, `iptables`, etc.) - No glibc, musl, busybox - No apt, pkg, opkg — no package manager (packages are `.npk` files installed via upload + reboot) - No `systemctl`, `service`, init system - No `/proc` or `/sys` accessible from userland - No `docker`, `podman` — RouterOS has its own `/container` subsystem (7.x+) **What DOES exist:** - RouterOS CLI — its own language, not shell. Accessed via SSH, serial, WinBox, or WebFig - REST API at `/rest/` (HTTP, port 80 by default) — the primary programmatic interface - RouterOS scripting language (`.rsc` files) — its own syntax, not bash. See the `routeros-scripting` skill and [Scripting reference](./references/scripting.md) - WebFig (web UI) on port 80 …

How to install
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-fundamentals@sha256:b245fe7e594d7fedThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.e70d1fd, 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.
