An AI agent skill for Apple firmware and binary reverse engineering using the ipsw CLI tool.
Supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Pi (pi-coding-agent).
This skill empowers AI agents to assist with:
Install the ipsw CLI tool:
brew install blacktop/tap/ipswnpx skills add https://github.com/blacktop/ipsw-skill --skill ipswInstall from marketplace:
claude plugin marketplace add blacktop/ipsw-skill
claude plugin install ipswOr install manually:
git clone https://github.com/blacktop/ipsw-skill /tmp/ipsw-skill
# User-wide (available in all projects)
mv /tmp/ipsw-skill/ipsw ~/.claude/skills/ipsw
# Project-specific (check into your repo)
mv /tmp/ipsw-skill/ipsw .claude/skills/ipswUse the built-in installer:
$skill-installer https://github.com/blacktop/ipsw-skill --path ipswOr install manually:
git clone https://github.com/blacktop/ipsw-skill /tmp/ipsw-skill
# User-wide
mv /tmp/ipsw-skill/ipsw ~/.codex/skills/ipsw
# Project-specific
mv /tmp/ipsw-skill/ipsw .codex/skills/ipswNote: Run Codex with --enable skills if skills aren't loading automatically.Install the extension directly:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/blacktop/ipsw-skillInstall the skill manually:
# User-wide
mv /tmp/ipsw-skill/ipsw ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/ipsw
# workspace-specific
mv /tmp/ipsw-skill/ipsw <workspace-root>/.agent/skills/ipsw# Global (adds package to ~/.pi/agent/settings.json; clones to ~/.pi/agent/git/...)
pi install https://github.com/blacktop/ipsw-skill
# Project-local (adds package to ./.pi/settings.json; clones to ./.pi/git/...)
pi install -l https://github.com/blacktop/ipsw-skillOnce installed, the agent will automatically use this skill for Apple RE tasks:
"Download the latest IPSW for iPhone 15 Pro and extract the kernel"
"Disassemble the _malloc function from the system dyld_shared_cache"
"Dump the Objective-C headers for SpringBoardServices"
"Find all binaries with the platform-application entitlement in iOS 18"
"What address is -[NSObject init] at in the DSC?"
"Find all xrefs to this function address"
