Find out what an unknown USB/Bluetooth HID button actually emits without assuming the label or documentation. Uses Karabiner's.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Diagnose HID Keycodes > **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues. Given an unknown macro pad, mouse button, foot pedal, or HID gadget, find out exactly what each button emits at the OS level — **without guessing from labels, vendor docs, or photos**. Cheap HID pads frequently ship with arbitrary or mis-labeled keycodes (the Jieli/Free3-P ships with buttons labeled top/middle/bottom emitting Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V/Ctrl+X — which isn't the cut/copy/paste convention; it's hardware-random). ## When to Use This Skill - A new HID device arrived and you don't know what its buttons emit - A pad has multiple firmware modes and you need to map each mode's keycodes - A rule isn't firing and you suspect you guessed the wrong `from.key_code` - You need to document a device for a reproducible setup ## The Three-Tool Workflow | Tool | Purpose | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | …

How to install
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/diagnose-hid-keycodes@sha256:582b77cc605da577The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.fd8a4c9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
