MAC-Telnet protocol (MikroTik Layer-2 terminal/exec over UDP 20561) wire format, session handshake, and MD5 + MTWEI (EC-SRP) authentication. Use when: implementing or debugging a MAC-Telnet client/server, reaching a RouterOS device by MAC address without IP, parsing MAC-Telnet packets, understanding the WinBox-style L2 terminal, deciding between classic MD5 and modern MTWEI auth, or when the user mentions MAC-Telnet, mactelnet, mactelnetd, port 20561, or MTWEI/EC-SRP RouterOS login.

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 Rout...

RouterOS scripting language and CLI configuration idioms for .rsc files and interactive commands. Use when: writing or reviewing RouterOS scripts, scheduler/netwatch/on-event snippets, idempotent CLI config, :local/:global/:foreach/:do syntax, [find] selectors, print as-value handling, script permissions, or when the user mentions .rsc, RouterOS script, scripting tips, or CLI config automation.

Inspecting and validating RouterOS command/script syntax against a live device via /console/inspect (highlight, completion, syntax, child) and :parse IL. Use when: validating RouterOS commands before execution, explaining or linting RouterOS scripts, building syntax-aware tooling (LSP servers, validators, agent explain/check commands), interpreting highlight token streams or :parse intermediate language, discovering enum values or argument schemas, or when the user mentions console/inspect, h...

RouterOS /app YAML format for container applications (7.21+ builtin app, 7.22+ custom YAML creation). Use when: writing or validating RouterOS /app YAML files, working with MikroTik container apps, building docker-compose-like definitions for RouterOS, creating /app store schemas, debugging /app validation errors, or when the user mentions /app, tikapp, or RouterOS container YAML.

RouterOS command tree introspection via /console/inspect API. Use when: building tools that parse RouterOS commands, generating API schemas from RouterOS, working with /console/inspect, mapping CLI commands to REST verbs, traversing the RouterOS command hierarchy, or when the user mentions inspect, command tree, RAML, or OpenAPI generation for RouterOS.

RouterOS /container subsystem for running OCI containers on MikroTik devices. Use when: enabling containers on RouterOS, setting up VETH/bridge networking for containers, managing container lifecycle via CLI or REST API, building OCI images for RouterOS, configuring container environment variables, troubleshooting container issues, or when the user mentions RouterOS container, /container, VETH, device-mode container, or MikroTik Docker.

RouterOS firewall filter, NAT, mangle, and address-list configuration. Use when: writing firewall rules in RouterOS, configuring NAT, setting up address-lists or interface-lists, writing idempotent firewall scripts, configuring DNS redirect or port forwarding, or when the user mentions /ip/firewall, chain=forward, chain=input, connection-state, address-list, interface-list, or layer7-protocol on MikroTik.

RouterOS v7 domain knowledge for AI agents. Use when: working with MikroTik RouterOS, writing RouterOS CLI/script commands, calling RouterOS REST API, debugging why a Linux command fails on RouterOS, or when the user mentions MikroTik, RouterOS, CHR, or /ip /system /interface paths. Scope: RouterOS 7.x (long-term and newer) only — v6 is NOT covered and accuracy for v6 problems will be low.

RouterOS hotspot captive portal for wired/wireless access control. Use when: configuring hotspot on RouterOS, setting up captive portal, writing hotspot profiles or instances, configuring walled garden, setting DHCP option 114 (RFC 8910 captive portal URI), integrating RADIUS with hotspot, or when the user mentions /ip/hotspot, walled-garden, hotspot profile, or captive portal on MikroTik.

MNDP (MikroTik Neighbor Discovery Protocol) wire format, behavior, and RouterOS /ip/neighbor integration. Use when: implementing MNDP discovery, parsing MNDP packets, working with /ip/neighbor, understanding WinBox device discovery, debugging why a router doesn't appear in neighbor lists, or when the user mentions MNDP, neighbor discovery, WinBox discovery, or /ip/neighbor.

MikroTik netinstall-cli for automated RouterOS device flashing. Use when: automating netinstall, writing scripts that invoke netinstall-cli, building netinstall tooling, understanding etherboot/BOOTP/TFTP protocols, working with RouterOS package files (.npk), using modescript or configure script, or when the user mentions netinstall, etherboot, or device flashing.

MikroTik RouterOS CHR (Cloud Hosted Router) with QEMU. Use when: running RouterOS in QEMU, booting CHR images, debugging CHR boot failures, setting up VirtIO devices for RouterOS, choosing between SeaBIOS and UEFI boot, configuring QEMU port forwarding for RouterOS REST API, or selecting QEMU acceleration (KVM/HVF/TCG).

RouterOS packet capture and TZSP streaming for protocol debugging. Use when: capturing packets on RouterOS, setting up /tool/sniffer, streaming live traffic via TZSP, using firewall mangle action=sniff-tzsp, debugging network protocols on MikroTik, receiving TZSP with Wireshark or tshark, saving pcap files from RouterOS, or when the user mentions packet sniffer, TZSP, sniff-tzsp, /tool/sniffer, or packet capture on RouterOS.

Maintain the quickchr Bun/TypeScript CLI and library. Use when changing src, tests, examples, CI, docs, QEMU/CHR behavior, RouterOS REST/provisioning logic, or release/package metadata in this repo.

Building OCI container images without Docker using crane and standard tools. Use when: building container images with crane, creating single-layer Docker v1 tars, building images for constrained runtimes (like MikroTik RouterOS /container), extracting Alpine rootfs, managing busybox symlinks, or when the user mentions crane, OCI image, Docker v1 tar, single-layer tar, or building images without Docker.

QEMU user-mode emulation for running foreign-architecture binaries, plus macOS VM bridging for raw-socket Linux tools. Use when: running x86 binaries on ARM hosts, setting up qemu-user-static, using binfmt_misc, building containers with QEMU emulation, running Linux network tools (like MikroTik netinstall-cli) on macOS via QEMU system VM, or when the user mentions qemu-i386, qemu-user, binfmt, cross-architecture emulation, or vmnet-bridged.
