By BitterSecurity/Decepticon (GitHub) · coding · 6,581 stars · scanned at commit bdb1016
Use when the engagement target is IoT, embedded Linux, RTOS, or any device reachable via UART/JTAG/SWD or by extracting its firmware. Covers firmware acquisition, binwalk extraction, filesystem mounting, default-credential hunting, bootloader attacks, wireless protocol sidebands (BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRaWAN, sub-GHz).
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Low-risk skills in the same category (coding) that look related. Check that one does what you need.
Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'iot-overview' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'iot-overview' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named iot-overview already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/BitterSecurity/Decepticon' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'bdb1016c93ed687f61ac57481da298c25a47c8f5' -- 'packages/decepticon/decepticon/skills/standard/iot' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'packages/decepticon/decepticon/skills/standard/iot' ~/.agents/skills/'iot-overview' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'iot-overview' ~/.claude/skills/'iot-overview' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
