Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install Synchronet BBS skills?▼

Run `npx skills add SynchronetBBS/sbbs --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.

How do I restart or recycle a Synchronet server?▼

The control skill explains semaphore files like `ctrl/recycle` and `ctrl/recycle.web`, POSIX signals, and MQTT control topics so you can reload config without dropping live user sessions.

How do I fix a corrupt Synchronet message base?▼

The smbutils skill walks you through chksmb for read-only diagnosis, then fixsmb or smbutil for targeted repair, with backup-first workflows.

Can I customize BBS prompts and menus without editing source code?▼

Yes. The text and menus skills cover `ctrl/text.ini` overrides, global color substitutions, Ctrl-A codes, and display file variants so upgrades never wipe your changes.

Do these skills work with Claude Code and other agents?▼

Yes. All skills follow the universal SKILL.md standard and run in Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, and Codex.
