Built a synthetic 2-byte ('Hi') UART capture and ran the SKILL.md's own decode_uart_byte() verbatim: its center-of-bit-period sampling correctly recovered the first byte where a naive from-scratch baseline sampler got it wrong ('X' instead of 'H') — but the surrounding multi-byte loop example in the same doc has a real bug that causes it to silently stop after one byte on any multi-byte capture.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 4/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Logic MSO Analysis does
Loads Saleae Logic MSO binary captures via the saleae-mso-api Python library and gives timing-cluster heuristics plus worked Python examples for decoding UART, SPI, I2C, and 1-Wire signals, aimed at CTF challenges and hardware reverse engineering. Ships a bundled analyze_protocol.py CLI (histogram/cluster/CSV export modes) and an examples.md walkthrough for unknown-protocol triage.
How to install Logic MSO Analysis
git clone https://github.com/BrownFineSecurity/iothackbot
cd iothackbot

(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Logic MSO Analysis
-
/logicmsoDecodes UART/SPI/I2C/1-Wire from Saleae Logic MSO binary exports for CTF and hardware RE.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Decode this UART capture from my Saleae Logic MSO export file -
I have an unknown protocol dump, help me cluster timing and identify SPI or I2C -
Analyze this Logic MSO binary capture for a CTF hardware reverse engineering challenge
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Logic MSO Analysis skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from BrownFineSecurity/iothackbot. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Logic MSO Analysis work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Built a synthetic 2-byte ('Hi') UART capture and ran the SKILL.md's own decode_uart_byte() verbatim: its center-of-bit-period sampling correctly recovered the first byte where a naive from-scratch baseline sampler got it wrong ('X' instead of 'H') — but the surrounding multi-byte loop example in the same doc has a real bug that causes it to silently stop after one byte on any multi-byte capture.
- What is the Logic MSO Analysis SkillProof Score?
- 7.6/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Logic MSO Analysis?
- 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 Logic MSO Analysis 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.
