Guides use of ataraxis-communication-interface MCP tools for microcontroller discovery, MQTT broker verification, manifest management, log archive assembly, and recording discovery. Use when discovering connected microcontrollers, testing MQTT connectivity, managing manifests, or assembling log archives.
Guides the use of the ataraxis-communication-interface MCP tools for hardware discovery, MQTT verification,
manifest management, and log archive assembly. This skill covers all MCP tool interactions; for writing code
that integrates MicroControllerInterface into an acquisition system, use /microcontroller-interface instead.

relevant to hardware setup and data management. Log processing and analysis tools are documented in
/log-processing and /log-processing-results. Configuration tools are documented in
/extraction-configuration.
