Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00074 | $0.00617 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00247 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00123 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
serial-debug 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Serial Debug
Operating Rule
Use the serial-mcp-server CLI first unless the user explicitly asks for MCP or an MCP client is already configured. Keep stdout data separate from diagnostics, cite exact commands, and base hardware success on real command evidence from the device.
Workflow
- Confirm the binary is available:
serial-mcp-server --help
- List available ports before choosing a device:
serial-mcp-server list-ports --json
- For a device smoke test, probe the port first, then write/read only when the probe succeeds:
serial-mcp-server probe --port <port> --baud 115200 --json
serial-mcp-server write --port <port> --baud 115200 --data H --read --timeout-ms 1000 --json
- If RTS or DTR is involved, state the requested line levels and use the control-line command:
serial-mcp-server set-control-lines --port <port> --rts high --dtr low --json
- For repeatable serial procedures, prefer JSON macro packs and validate or plan them before real hardware execution:
serial-mcp-server macro validate --file <pack.json> --json
serial-mcp-server macro plan --file <pack.json> --macro <name> --json
serial-mcp-server macro run --file <pack.json> --macro <name> --simulate-read <response> --json
serial-mcp-server macro run --file <pack.json> --macro <name> --port <port> --baud 115200 --json
Macro packs are restricted JSON DSL files. v0.3 supports send, delay, expect contains, expect equals, and assemblies that call macros. It does not support shell commands, language execution, loops, variables, Quick commands, or RTS/DTR macro steps.
References
- Read
references/cli.mdfor exact command behavior, output expectations, and automation rules. - Read
references/mcp.mdwhen the user asks for MCP setup or MCP tool usage. - Read
references/hardware-safety.mdbefore changing baud, wiring, voltage levels, RTS, DTR, or reset/boot lines. - Read
references/troubleshooting.mdwhen a command fails, times out, returns no ports, or cannot open the device.
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

serial-debug is a skill published in the GitHub repository Adancurusul/serial-mcp-server (94 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 617 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
