From tonone
Inventories firmware MCU, peripherals, RTOS, protocols, OTA, power management; assesses code quality, security risks, debug artifacts for embedded projects.

Scan the workspace for embedded project indicators:
platformio.ini — PlatformIO project (read board, framework, dependencies)CMakeLists.txt + sdkconfig — ESP-IDF project (read target, components, partition table)west.yml or prj.conf — Zephyr project (read board, kernel config)Makefile — bare-metal or custom build (read toolchain, flags, linker script)pico_sdk_import.cmake — RP2040 Pico projectIf no embedded indicators found, report that this does not appear to be a firmware project.
Identify and document:
Read: board config files, pin definitions, linker scripts for memory layout.
Identify and document:
Evaluate against embedded best practices:
Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.
## Firmware Reconnaissance
**MCU:** [chip] | **RTOS:** [name/none] | **Build:** [system]
**Flash:** [used/total] | **RAM:** [used/total]
### Hardware
| Peripheral | Bus | Device | Status |
|-----------|-----|--------|--------|
| [I2C0] | I2C | [sensor] | [OK/issue] |
| ... | | | |
### Software Architecture
- **Tasks:** [N] RTOS tasks ([list with priorities])
- **Comms:** [protocols in use]
- **OTA:** [mechanism or NONE]
- **Power:** [sleep states or NONE]
### Risk Flags
- [RED] [critical issue — e.g., no watchdog, no OTA rollback, hardcoded credentials]
- [YELLOW] [concern — e.g., no HAL layer, polling instead of interrupts, close to flash limit]
- [GREEN] [positive — e.g., good error handling, clean task structure]
### Recommendations
1. [highest priority fix]
2. [second priority]
3. [third priority]
Keep the assessment factual. Flag risks, don't editorialize.
If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
npx claudepluginhub tonone-ai/tonone --plugin eval-regressFirmware reconnaissance for takeover — inventory the MCU, peripherals, RTOS, protocols, OTA, power management, and assess code quality with risk flags. Use when asked to "understand this firmware", "device inventory", or "embedded assessment".
Reviews IoT device security including firmware analysis, hardware interface probing (UART/JTAG/SWD), bootloader validation, OTA updates, radio protocols, cloud APIs, and mobile companion apps.
Analyzes firmware for embedded systems and IoT security via binwalk extraction, file system exploration, credential hunting, and binary checks with readelf and checksec.
