Executed the bundled tooling for real: parse_diff turned a SpeedyBee F7 V3 CLI diff into structured JSON with exact rate decoding (800 deg/s roll/pitch, 700 yaw max — values I could only approximate from memory in the baseline), and validate_config correctly reported the bidirectional-DShot/RPM-filter state. The bundled selftest passed live, including a DSP smoke test that found an injected 220 Hz tone in a synthetic gyro signal. Blackbox and chirp analysis need one extra step on a git-clone install: pip install betaflight-chirp-core (the release zip vendors it, and the README says so plainly). The references include documented safe ranges per parameter, so recommendations are grounded instead of guessed.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Betaflight does

A deep FPV-drone assistant for Betaflight firmware: it executes bundled Python tools to parse CLI diffs into structured JSON with exact deg/s rate decoding, validate configs, decode .bbl blackbox logs, and run spectral, step-response and chirp Bode analysis. Triggers on any Betaflight, PID/filter tuning, flight-symptom or blackbox-log mention, including pasted CLI dumps that are not named as such.

How to install Betaflight

git clone https://github.com/SebGalina/betaflight-claude-skill
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r betaflight-claude-skill ~/.claude/skills/betaflight

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Betaflight

  • /betaflight Betaflight tuning copilot: parses CLI diffs, decodes blackbox logs, safe ranges

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Here's my Betaflight CLI diff, can you check it for anomalies?
  • My quad oscillates during punch-outs, help me tune the PID filters
  • Decode this blackbox log and tell me what caused the crash

Frequently asked questions

Is the Betaflight skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from SebGalina/betaflight-claude-skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Betaflight work with Claude Code?

What is the Betaflight SkillProof Score?
9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
How do I install Betaflight?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Betaflight with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
