Ok, I'm lost now!

First, Adept Spell? You mean Mystic Adept, right? Or did I miss a really important party?

Second, adzling Tehnomancer taht pours his machine sprite into skillwires is not the best way to interpret the rules. There was a discusion here few years ago. You dont use your skill while using skillwires, and the sprite uses teamwork to help you,... operate skill wires. Ergo: no go on the skillwire jack of all trades.

And third, what is the verdict on Analyze Device spell casted od weapon? Revolver is slicy, Smart gun is ok, but Knife or Sword? How about Weapon focus? That really gives you bonus to your combat rolls.

Yes, you missed the glory that is the new Hard Targets book - new weapons, new powers and most important new weapon mods - some say its most beautiful feature is its detailed and most of all "existing" index  ;D

It's pretty clear cut: You analyze it, learn everything there is to know about it - including things like an intuitive grasp how to use it (more efficiently)

Except there's a commlink that allows you to use an agent on it which in Cyberdeck take up a program slot

Team work tests are not restricted to native skills, so skillwire users can both confer and accept teamwork bonii with their skillwire skills.
You can't spend edge on a skillwire, but that's the only restriction I am aware of.

You might want to double-check the street date for that; normally the books come out on pdf first, and then physical copies ship a bit later. It might be out now, but call you game shop and see if it has released yet, or if not then if they have a ship date.

in SR 4 there was an expert system add on to skillwires that let you use edge
