Network engineers need to debug protocols on MikroTik routers but lack standard tools like tcpdump. This skill provides complete workflows for capturing packets using RouterOS built-in sniffer and mirroring traffic via TZSP to Wireshark for analysis.

Running RouterOS CHR in QEMU requires understanding boot methods, VirtIO drivers, and acceleration options. This skill provides guidance for x86_64 and aarch64 architectures with troubleshooting for common issues.

Installing RouterOS on multiple MikroTik devices manually is time-consuming and error-prone. This skill provides Claude Code with comprehensive netinstall-cli documentation for automated, repeatable firmware installation.

Network engineers need to understand MNDP protocol format to build custom discovery tools, but protocol specifications are scattered across technical documents. This skill provides complete MNDP wire format documentation, TLV parsing examples, and RouterOS integration patterns.

Network administrators struggle with RouterOS hotspot complexity including captive portal flow, HTTPS login pages, and RADIUS integration. This skill provides complete configuration patterns for MikroTik hotspot setup from profiles to external authentication.

AI agents often fail when working with RouterOS because it uses a proprietary CLI, not Linux commands. This skill provides the domain knowledge to write correct RouterOS commands, REST API calls, and scripts without Linux hallucinations.

Writing RouterOS firewall rules manually leads to misconfiguration and security gaps. This skill helps Claude, Codex, and Claude Code generate correct firewall configurations including filter rules, NAT, mangle chains, address-lists, and DoS protection patterns.

Managing containerized applications on MikroTik routers requires understanding RouterOS 7.x container subsystem, VETH networking, and OCI image requirements. This skill provides complete reference documentation for CLI commands, REST API patterns, and network configuration.

Building tools that interact with RouterOS requires understanding the command hierarchy. This skill provides documentation for the /console/inspect API, enabling developers to programmatically explore RouterOS command trees for API schema generation and CLI-to-REST mapping.

Writing RouterOS /app YAML files by hand is error-prone due to unique syntax differences from docker-compose. This skill helps you generate valid YAML for MikroTik container applications with proper port formats, environment placeholders, and store schema.
