What it does
Routeros Sniffer is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. 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.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/tzsp-receivers.md` and `skill-report.json`).
It sits in Development, covering Network security and Debugging. It works with Wireshark. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it
- : capturing packets on RouterOS
- Setting up /tool/sniffer
- Streaming live traffic via TZSP
- Using firewall mangle action=sniff-tzsp
Example prompts
- “Use the routeros-sniffer skill to routero packet capture and TZSP streaming for protocol debugging”
- “/routeros-sniffer”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Stream live packets from the router to the host machine via TZSP — no hardware needed if using a CHR VM
- Save pcap/pcapng files on the router's flash and download them for analysis
- Use firewall mangle rules for surgical, per-flow packet mirroring without touching the sniffer config
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Routeros Sniffer loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 922 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 922 words (~2,613 tokens).
“RouterOS has a built-in packet sniffer (/tool/sniffer) and firewall mangle actions that can mirror traffic — either saving to a file on the router or streaming live to a remote host via TZSP (TaZmen Sniffer Protocol). This is the primary…”
