wine-hid-device-tools

wine-hid-device-tools is a skill for Codex from howdeploy/kisa-stack. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,656 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting tool for running Windows keyboard and similar USB device utilities on Linux through Wine. Wine is software that runs many Windows programs on Linux.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps diagnose USB and HID device access, create permissions rules, find the right Wine prefix, adjust Wine settings and relaunch a vendor utility.
Why use it?
It addresses cases where the keyboard works for typing but the Windows configuration app cannot find or control it. It checks device visibility, permissions, the correct Wine environment and relevant settings.

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

wine-hid-device-tools 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/discover_hid_devices.sh, scripts/find_wine_prefix_apps.sh, scripts/print_hid_setup_commands.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Wine HID Device Tools

Hermes: все команды и скрипты этого скилла — обычный bash, запускай через terminal. Вывод команд показывай пользователю как есть.

Goal

Help users run Windows keyboard and HID vendor tools on Linux when the device works as normal input but the configuration app cannot detect or control it. Diagnose Linux USB/HID visibility, hidraw permissions, the correct Wine prefix, and winebus settings before recommending a Windows VM.

Do not run Wine as root. Do not assume ~/.wine is the correct prefix.

Quick Workflow

  1. Confirm the device is wired over USB data, not only charging or still using Bluetooth/2.4 GHz.
  2. Find the device's VID/PID and hidraw nodes.
  3. Verify user access to the relevant /dev/hidraw* nodes.
  4. Generate and apply a udev rule if permissions are missing.
  5. Find the prefix that contains the installed vendor app.
  6. Apply winebus settings to that exact prefix.
  7. Relaunch the installed .exe with careful shell quoting.

Use scripts first when available; they are read-only except for printing commands.

Discovery Scripts

List HID raw devices:

scripts/discover_hid_devices.sh
scripts/discover_hid_devices.sh 'aula|sonix|keyboard|0c45'

Find likely Wine prefixes and installed vendor executables:

scripts/find_wine_prefix_apps.sh
scripts/find_wine_prefix_apps.sh 'aula|akko|keychron|keyboard|driver'

Print setup commands for a known VID/PID:

scripts/print_hid_setup_commands.sh 0c45:800a
scripts/print_hid_setup_commands.sh 0c45:800a "/path/to/prefix"

The third script prints commands only. Review them with the user before applying sudo or registry changes.

Manual HID Checks

Use these when scripts are unavailable or more detail is needed:

lsusb
sudo dmesg -wH | grep -Ei --line-buffered 'usb|hid|hidraw|keyboard|device'

Inspect hidraw metadata:

for d in /sys/class/hidraw/hidraw*; do
  [ -r "$d/device/uevent" ] || continue
  echo "/dev/${d##*/}"
  cat "$d/device/uevent"
  echo
done

What ships with it

4 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.
