## What it does

The skill opens a SeedClient connection, pulls the device identity and assigns an initial trust level. With no endpoint supplied it falls back to `http://169.254.42.1/`, the link-local USB Ethernet address of the Cognitum Seed.

Everything runs through `npx`: `cognitum-iot register ENDPOINT` first, then `cognitum-iot pair DEVICE_ID` when a pairing token is present, then `cognitum-iot status DEVICE_ID`. The registration event goes into memory via `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store` under the `iot-devices` namespace.

Arguments follow `[endpoint] [--token PAIRING_TOKEN]`. Skip the token and the pairing step never runs, so the device stays unpaired — have the token ready before you start.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill iot-register -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/iot-register/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/iot-register/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill iot-register -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/iot-register/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill iot-register -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/iot-register/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install ruvnet/ruflo iot-register
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/iot-register/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill iot-register -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo --path plugins/ruflo-iot-cognitum/skills/iot-register
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/iot-register/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill iot-register -a opencode
```

Register a Cognitum Seed device. Creates a SeedClient connection, fetches identity, and assigns initial trust level.

Default endpoint: `http://169.254.42.1/` — the Cognitum Seed link-local USB Ethernet address. Use this when no endpoint is supplied.

Steps:
1. Resolve ENDPOINT: use the user-supplied value, or default to `http://169.254.42.1/`.
2. `npx -y -p @claude-flow/plugin-iot-cognitum@1.0.0 cognitum-iot register ENDPOINT`
3. If pairing token provided: `npx -y -p @claude-flow/plugin-iot-cognitum@1.0.0 cognitum-iot pair DEVICE_ID`
4. Show device status: `npx -y -p @claude-flow/plugin-iot-cognitum@1.0.0 cognitum-iot status DEVICE_ID`

Store registration event:
`mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store({ key: "iot-register-DEVICEID", value: "Registered at ENDPOINT", namespace: "iot-devices" })`
```
