What it does
Hardware Security is an agent skill from zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill. Use for authorized hardware and embedded interface security research including UART/JTAG discovery, debug pad triage, secure boot overview, and offline firmware extraction support.
Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/debug-interface-triage.md`).
It sits in Security. The repository describes itself as: Reverse Engineering / Authorized Penetration Testing / Security Research Skill Router Pack AI-powered routing + On-demand toolchain bootstrapping + Self-evolving knowledge base…. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Authorized hardware and embedded interface security research including UART/JTAG discovery
- Debug pad triage
- Secure boot overview
- Offline firmware extraction support
Example prompts
- “/hardware-security”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- NOW: 确认物理接触授权与设备归属
- NOW: ESD/电源安全；默认只读探测
- NEXT: 联合 firmware-pentest 做镜像分析

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cab634b. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Hardware Security loads about 266 tokens when it runs, and up to ~321 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 67 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: warnings
The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

1. `NOW`: 确认**物理接触授权**与设备归属
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.

Use for authorized hardware and embedded interface security research including UART/JTAG discovery, debug pad triage, secure boot overview, and offline firmware extraction support.
When should I use Hardware Security?
Hardware Security fits situations like: authorized hardware and embedded interface security research including UART/JTAG discovery; debug pad triage; secure boot overview; offline firmware extraction support.
How do I install Hardware Security in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill --skill hardware-security -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/hardware-security in zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill) into .claude/skills/hardware-security in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Hardware Security in Codex?
Run `npx skills add zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill --skill hardware-security -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/hardware-security in zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill) into .agents/skills/hardware-security in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Hardware Security in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill --skill hardware-security -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/hardware-security, .gemini/skills/hardware-security, .github/skills/hardware-security and .opencode/skills/hardware-security in your project.
What does Hardware Security need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Hardware Security is instructions for the agent only.
Does Hardware Security access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Hardware Security safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md flagged 1 warning(s): tells the agent its actions are pre-authorized / not to stop for confirmation. Read the flagged lines before installing; the check is not a guarantee either way.
What licence does Hardware Security use?
Hardware Security is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Hardware Security use?
About 266 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 55 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
