Related to dev stuff generally. Inspired by SpliceKit using Sentry I added the skill to ai bot which added sentry to my most troublesome apps. Didn’t take long to find some issues.

How it’s going:
Let me build a suite of tools to cerify MHL media hash lists (MHL Verify and Drop Verify), and a more perfect app to copy camera cards (Copy Trust).
