Drop these `SKILL.md` files into Claude Code, Autohand Code, Cursor, Copilot-style agents, or custom agent frameworks to make them generate better ROS1/ROS2 software: safer nodes, correct QoS, lifecycle patterns, tests, launch files, Docker, bringup, perception, and security. [](LICENSE)    ## Why This Exists General-purpose coding agents know ROS syntax, but they often miss the robotics details that matter in production: QoS compatibility, deterministic startup, bounded callbacks, sensor health checks, safe shutdown, launch ergonomics, and testability. This repo is the missing robotics engineering layer for AI coding agents. ## Evidence: Same Prompt, With and Without Skills The `evals/` directory compares the same ROS2 package prompt run once with no skills and once with the robotics skills loaded as context. | Result | Without Skills | With Skills | |--------|----------------|-------------| | Node architecture | Plain `rclpy.Node`; setup in constructor | Lifecycle node with configure/activate/deactivate/cleanup/shutdown | | Sensor QoS | Default depth 10 for everything | Sensor QoS for camera/joints, reliable QoS for status | | Sensor handling | Latest-message assignment | Thread-safe bounded buffers, drop counts, watchdogs | | Timestamp sync | None | Sync offset checks and dropped-frame accounting | | Tests | 0 lines | 601 lines | | Structure | Single node module | Separate writer module and cleaner responsibilities | | Config surface | 4 parameters | 13 parameters | This is a single-task, single-run comparison, self-assessed, and neither package was built against a real ROS2 distribution — treat it as an illustration of the design decisions the skills push toward, not as a benchmark. Caveats and the known build defects in both artifacts are documented in the report.

Claude Code auto-discovers `SKILL.md` files and triggers them based on the YAML `description` field. ### Autohand Code Copy or symlink the skills you need into your project's `.autohand/skills/` directory. User-level skills live under `~/.autohand/skills/`; project-level skills live under `<project>/.autohand/skills/`. ### Claude Projects Place the skill directories in your project's `/mnt/skills/user/` directory. ### Custom Agent Frameworks Load the relevant `SKILL.md` as system-prompt context when a task matches the skill: ```python from pathlib import Path SKILLS = { "ros2": "skills/ros2/SKILL.md", "testing": "skills/robotics-testing/SKILL.md", "perception": "skills/robot-perception/SKILL.md", "bringup": "skills/robot-bringup/SKILL.md", "security": "skills/robotics-security/SKILL.md", } def load_skill(task_description: str) -> str: text = task_description.lower() for trigger, path in SKILLS.items(): if trigger in text: return Path(path).read_text() return "" ``` ## What Good Skills Contain - Specific trigger descriptions so agents know when to load them. - Working examples, not just prose. - Robotics failure modes: QoS mismatches, stale transforms, unsafe shutdown, blocking callbacks. - Production defaults: bounded queues, lifecycle management, observability, tests. - Anti-patterns that show what to avoid. ## Coverage Map ```text Robot System Architecture ├── Design Principles ---- robotics-software-principles/ (SOLID, safety, composability) ├── Middleware ----------- ros1/, ros2/ ├── Behaviors ----------- robotics-design-patterns/ (BT, FSM) ├── Perception ---------- robot-perception/ (cameras, LiDAR, depth, calibration, fusion) ├── Planning ------------ robotics-design-patterns/ (motion planning) ├── Control ------------- robotics-design-patterns/ (control loops) ├── Safety -------------- robotics-design-patterns/ (watchdogs, limits) ├── Testing ------------- robotics-testing/ (unit, integration, sim) ├── Containerization ---- docker-ros2-development/ (Dockerfiles, compose, DDS, GPU) ├── Web Interfaces ------ ros2-web-integration/ (REST, WebSocket, streaming, dashboards) ├── System Bringup ------ robot-bringup/ (systemd, udev, watchdogs, boot sequence) ├── Security ------------ robotics-security/ (SROS2, hardening, e-stop isolation) └── Deployment ---------- ros2/ (production checklist, CI/CD) ``` ## Roadmap High-impact skills to add next: - `robot-navigation/` - Nav2, SLAM, localization, costmaps, planners, recovery behaviors. - `robot-manipulation/` - MoveIt2, grasp planning, planning scenes, TF, pick-and-place. - `ros2-control/` - hardware interfaces, controllers, update loops, real-time pitfalls. - `robot-simulation/` - Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, sim clock, resets, domain randomization. - `robot-description/` - URDF, Xacro, inertials, collision meshes, robot_state_publisher. - `robot-debugging/` - ros2 doctor, rqt, tracing, rosbag replay, diagnostics. - `robotics-data-pipelines/` - RLDS, LeRobot, Zarr, dataset curation, format conversion. - `multi-robot-systems/` - namespaces, fleets, DDS partitions, task allocation.
