linkr-boot-selection

linkr-boot-selection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rcarmo/piclaw-addons. It costs 35 tokens per session (501 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for choosing a computer's one-time boot device or changing its persistent boot order through firmware screens. Firmware is the software that starts a computer before the operating system loads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select an installer, recovery system, network target, or other visible boot entry, and to record and verify persistent boot-order changes.
Why use it?
Choosing by menu position alone can boot the wrong disk or installer. Visible device details and before-and-after checks make the selection more reliable.

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

linkr-boot-selection 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.

Linkr boot selection

Use this skill when the task is to boot from a specific device, installer, recovery partition, or network target visible through firmware or a boot menu.

First question: one-time or persistent?

Prefer a one-time boot override when the need is temporary, such as installation or recovery. A persistent boot-order change is a distinct requested outcome and needs extra care.

State which of these is intended before sending input.

Identification rules

Choose entries by visible evidence, not guesswork:

  • entry label;
  • device type;
  • model name;
  • capacity;
  • UEFI versus legacy marker;
  • recovery or vendor-reserved wording.

Never select a disk or boot entry by ordinal position alone.

Workflow

  1. Use snapshot to identify the boot-menu or firmware screen.
  2. State the current top entry or current boot order if visible.
  3. State the exact desired target and why it matches the requested task.
  4. For persistent order changes, record the prior order before editing.
  5. Preview the next HID step with the exact device_id and action fields.
  6. Re-run with execute:true.
  7. Verify the selection or reordered list with another snapshot.

Persistence rules

For persistent changes, keep a ledger of:

  • prior order;
  • proposed order;
  • reason;
  • save confirmation screen;
  • next observed boot result.

If the user only asked to boot once from install media, do not leave that media first in the persistent order.

Narrow-tap rule

Once a boot menu or firmware screen opens, key semantics can change quickly. Use short, narrow taps and re-observe often. Do not keep pressing the boot key after the target screen is open.

Current limitations

There is no true screen.compare or learned boot-menu timing in v0.1. Use visible evidence and fresh snapshots, not assumed menu geometry.

Network boot caution

Do not select PXE or other network boot targets unless the trusted server and intended environment are already established. This skill does not authorise network discovery or broad boot experimentation.

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.

linkr-boot-selection is a skill published in the GitHub repository rcarmo/piclaw-addons (23 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 501 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-13.
