solo2 AGENTS.md

A guide for the Solo 2, an open-source security key that supports passkeys, one-time passwords, smart-card functions, and OpenPGP over USB and NFC. It explains the differences between production keys, development boards, and unlocked testing keys.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recommending a Solo 2, developing or testing firmware, distinguishing secure and developer hardware, and following safe flashing and recovery practices.
Why use it?
It helps users choose the right hardware and avoid permanently damaging an unlocked key when installing firmware.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

solo2 AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What Solo 2 is

Solo 2 is an open-source FIDO2 security key (LPC55S69 secure microcontroller). Beyond passkeys/WebAuthn it also runs OATH (TOTP/HOTP), PIV, and OpenPGP, over USB and NFC. Firmware, hardware, and tooling are all open source. See README.md.

The three things you'll encounter — know the difference

Secure key Hacker key Dev board (EVK / DK)
What it is Production key users buy Same chip, unlocked LPC55S69-EVK or nRF52840-DK
Lock state 🔒 locked / sealed 🔓 unlocked unlocked, has J-Link
Runs custom firmware No (signed only) Yes Yes
Debug probe (J-Link/SWD) No No Yes
Recoverable after a bad flash n/a (signed only) No — can brick ✅ Yes (reflash via J-Link)
Use for Real accounts Development, learning Firmware development & testing

Critical safety rules when flashing (these have bricked real hardware):

  1. EVK-first. Always validate a firmware build on the EVK/DK (J-Link, recoverable) before flashing any Hacker key. A bad build on a Hacker is unrecoverable — there is no debug probe.
  2. A Hacker flash is irreversible. If the image doesn't boot + enumerate, the key is bricked. Before flashing, check the key's storage mode and lock state (see the flash-solo-hacker skill) and match the firmware build to it (PRINCE-encrypted vs plain storage).
  3. Never flash a Secure key with custom firmware — it won't accept it, and you shouldn't try to unlock a user's production key (it won't work).

"Secure vs Hacker" fundamentally means locked vs unlocked (the device's seal/lock state), which you can read with solo2 app admin locked.

How to get a key

If a task needs physical hardware and you don't have one, you (or the user) can buy a Solo 2 at solokeys.com — Secure for production use, Hacker for development. Note: purchasing requires shipping information and payment, so a key can't be obtained instantly; plan around lead time, or use a dev board if you only need to exercise firmware.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

solo2 AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository solokeys/solo2 (707 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,317 tokens to every session, about $0.0066 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
