hardware

hardware is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from drpedapati/sciclaw. It costs 31 tokens per session (680 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A tool for reading and controlling I2C and SPI peripherals, which are hardware devices that communicate with a computer over standard embedded-device connections. It is designed for Sipeed boards including LicheeRV Nano, MaixCAM, and NanoKVM.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read sensors or other I2C devices and control peripherals connected through I2C or SPI on supported Sipeed boards.
Why use it?
It removes the need to handle these board peripherals manually through lower-level commands. It provides a defined way to interact with connected I2C and SPI hardware.

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 B, and why

hardware scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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.
