routeros-quickchr-cli skillB
routeros-quickchr-cli is agent-read markdown (skill) from tikoci/routeros-skills: Answer 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/remove lifecycle and what --bg actually does, getting REST endpoints and credentials out of a machine, L2 links between two VMs, and the provisioning steps (device-mode) that only work before a machine's first boot. Use when: checking a clai.
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
# CHR from the shell: quickchr CLI + centrs quickchr ([`@tikoci/quickchr`](https://github.com/tikoci/quickchr), CLI + Bun/TS library) downloads a MikroTik CHR image, boots it under QEMU, and hands you a router. This skill is the **shell-first** path: you have a terminal, you want a router to interrogate, and the answer will be quoted as shell + RouterOS commands (e.g. in a `forum.mikrotik.com` reply). If you are writing a `bun:test` harness that imports `QuickCHR`, use the **routeros-quickchr** skill instead — one scheme per task, never both.[^split] Behavior below is pinned to **quickchr 0.4.8**. Several of these are 0.4.8 changes, called out inline; on 0.4.7 and earlier the answer differs.[^pin] One limit to keep in view: a CHR booted this way runs the **free** license (`quickchr get <name>` shows `Level: free`), which MikroTik caps at **1 Mbps upload per interface** — every other RouterOS feature is unrestricted. Config, API and CLI grounding are unaffected; a throughput or queue number measured here is the license talking, not the feature.[^license] ## Lifecycle: `add` is not `start` ```sh quickchr add --name lab-a --version 7.24.4 --arch x86 --add-network user …

How to install
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-quickchr-cli@git:20260921.bf6c644mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-quickchr-cli@sha256:ce5064c053be029ePin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
