CLI syntax, menu hierarchy, safe mode, export and import, v6 versus v7, map of the other skills
Agent skills
routeros-skills is 34 agent skills for RouterOS 7, grouped here by area. Each skill is a folder in the
repository with a SKILL.md and MikroTik's
documentation for that area as plain Markdown, and each is listed on
skills.sh. Start with
routeros-fundamentals: it explains the console conventions and maps the rest.
INSTALL
npx skills add wiresage/routeros-skills picks skills interactively; add
-s routeros-firewall routeros-vpn to choose by name. The repository also ships plain installers for Claude Code,
Codex and GitHub Copilot — see the
install section. Independent of MikroTik MCP and routeros-lsp: use any one alone.
