Ground RouterOS config/scripts/API code against a REAL router using quickchr (@tikoci/quickchr) — a CLI + Bun/TS library that downloads, boots, and manages MikroTik CHR VMs on QEMU. Use when: validating generated RouterOS config or scripts against real RouterOS before trusting them; spinning up a disposable CHR for REST/CLI/API iteration; writing integration/lab tests against CHR; needing host↔guest networking for a CHR (port-forward, L2/MNDP capture, guest→host UDP); driving an external…
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
# Grounding RouterOS with quickchr Pinned to **0.5.2**. Read the release `CHANGELOG.md` entries from `[0.5.0]` through `[0.5.2]` before upgrading from 0.4.x. Where a behavior changed, this skill names the version.[^versions] ## What this is for The reliable way to know whether a RouterOS config, script, or API call actually works is to run it against **real RouterOS** — not to guess from docs. quickchr ([`@tikoci/quickchr`](https://github.com/tikoci/quickchr), npm, MIT, public) makes that a few lines: it downloads a MikroTik **CHR** (Cloud Hosted Router) image, boots it under QEMU, provisions it, and hands you a REST/SSH/exec handle. The free CHR license (1 Mbps, no signup) is enough for config validation, API iteration, and test grounding. **Reach for quickchr when** you want to apply config and read it back, iterate on REST/scripting against a live box, or run integration tests against CHR. **Don't reach for it** when you only need documentation (use the `rosetta` MCP / the `routeros-fundamentals` skill), or you're flashing physical hardware (use the `routeros-netinstall` skill). For raw QEMU boot internals without the quickchr wrapper, see the `routeros-qemu-chr` skill. …

How to install
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-tikoci-quickchr@sha256:394187b5e3c7958eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.1982e24, 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.
