routeros-tikoci-quickchr-cli

routeros-tikoci-quickchr-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tikoci/routeros-skills. It costs 212 tokens per session (7,954 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shell-based tool for asking questions of a temporary MikroTik CHR router running under QEMU. MikroTik CHR is the software version of MikroTik's RouterOS network operating system, and QEMU runs virtual machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to boot, access, stop, shut down, and remove a test RouterOS router from the command line, then obtain answers as shell and RouterOS commands.
Why use it?
It provides a disposable router without requiring physical networking hardware or a cloud machine. The router can be removed when it is no longer needed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

routeros-tikoci-quickchr-cli scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 513 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CHR from the shell: quickchr CLI + centrs

quickchr (@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-tikoci-quickchr skill instead — one scheme per task, never both.[^split]

Behavior below is pinned to 0.5.2. Install with bun install -g @tikoci/[email protected], or invoke bunx @tikoci/[email protected] <command>. Check yours with quickchr --version. Where 0.4.8 and earlier differ in a way that can hurt you, the text says so inline; the rest of the version history lives in the footnotes.[^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]

Host prerequisites and storage

Use Bun 1.4.4, the tested runtime shipped in 0.5.2. Run quickchr doctor for missing dependencies and install hints. The old start --install-deps flag now errors; it never installed dependencies. The CLI defaults to qcow2, requiring qemu-img; the library defaults to raw unless bootSize implies qcow2. Extra disks also need qemu-img.[^release052]

Storage admission checks the bytes the operation will write plus a 2 GiB reserve on each filesystem it uses, accounting for concurrent operations. The old 10 GiB floor is gone. QUICKCHR_STORAGE_RESERVE (or storage-reserve) adjusts the reserve; cache eviction precedes an INSUFFICIENT_DISK_SPACE refusal. Cache limits now include packages and partial downloads, so the first prune after upgrading can evict more than before.[^release052]

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
