## 🔍 Overview
This collection provides production-ready skills for Arduino and maker projects:
- **Arduino Core Skills** - Hardware patterns, timing, communication, FreeRTOS, and CLI workflows
- **Maker Tools** - Debugging, serial monitoring, BOM generation, power planning, documentation, diagrams
- **Project Builders** - Code generation and project scaffolding with automation scripts
- **Board Support** - AI-facing exact-board lookup, source status, capability tags, and safe pin handoff
- **Workflow Router** - Board/toolchain intake and combined firmware, electronics, power, networking, enclosure, and deployment workflows
The workflow is toolchain-neutral across Arduino IDE, Arduino CLI, PlatformIO,
and vendor-specific tools. The exact board, framework, versions, and hardware
evidence determine what can be claimed for a task.
All skills follow a consistent structure with:
- ✅ Copy-paste ready code that compiles without warnings
- ✅ Verification steps with expected outputs
- ✅ Common pitfalls with corrections
- ✅ Engineering rationale explaining "why"
---
## 🤖 How Skills Work
**arduino-skills** uses the **Agent Skills** open format for self-contained,
interoperable agent capabilities. Each skill is a folder containing:
- **SKILL.md** — Instructions with YAML frontmatter (`name`,
`description`, optional spec fields)
- **scripts/** — Python automation tools with PEP 723 inline dependencies
- **references/** — Code examples, patterns, and templates
- **assets/** — Diagrams, datasheets, and resources
Skills follow progressive disclosure:
1. Discovery loads only `name` and `description`
2. Activation loads the main `SKILL.md`
3. Detailed references and scripts are loaded only when needed
The main `SKILL.md` should stay focused. Heavy examples, troubleshooting, and
deep reference material belong in `references/`, `scripts/`, or `assets/`.
For a complete request, start with `arduino-workflow-router`. For any request
that spans physical hardware, recovery, measurements, or multiple sessions,
load `embedded-project-loop` first. It creates the durable goal, one next todo,
evidence ledger, rollback path, and user-owned physical gate before the router
composes specialists. For a named board reference or capability lookup, start
with `board-support`; for choosing or replacing a board from requirements, use
`board-selection`. Neither entry point assumes Arduino IDE, a particular
board family, or a successful compile as proof of system behavior.

## 📦 Installation
### Quick Install (Recommended and Easiest)
```bash
npx skills add wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills
```
### Plugin Hosts
The repository has one shared `skills/` source of truth and thin adapters for
the major hosts:
| Host | Install or test command | Adapter |
|---|---|---|
| Agent Skills CLI | `npx skills add wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills` | `skills/` |
| Codex | `codex plugin marketplace add /path/to/arduino-skills` then `codex plugin add arduino-skills@arduino-skills` | `.codex-plugin/` |
| Claude Code | `claude --plugin-dir /path/to/arduino-skills` | `.claude-plugin/` |
| Cursor | Open/install the repo as a plugin | `.cursor-plugin/` |
See [docs/plugin-distribution.md](https://github.com/wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills/blob/HEAD/docs/plugin-distribution.md) for published
marketplace flows, wrapper conventions, and validation commands.
### Manual Setup
1. **Clone the Repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills.git
cd arduino-skills
```
2. **Copy Skills to Extensions Directory**
```bash
# Example: install into Codex's local skills directory
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
# Copy all skills
cp -r skills/* ~/.codex/skills/
```
---
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Generate Code Snippets
```bash
# List available patterns
uv run skills/arduino-code-generator/scripts/generate_snippet.py --list
# Generate I2C scanner for ESP32
uv run skills/arduino-code-generator/scripts/generate_snippet.py --pattern i2c --board esp32
# Interactive mode
uv run skills/arduino-code-generator/scripts/generate_snippet.py --interactive
```
### Scaffold Complete Projects
```bash
# List project types
uv run skills/arduino-project-builder/scripts/scaffold_project.py --list
# Create environmental monitor for ESP32
uv run skills/arduino-project-builder/scripts/scaffold_project.py \
--type environmental --board esp32 --name "WeatherStation"
# Interactive mode
uv run skills/arduino-project-builder/scripts/scaffold_project.py --interactive
```
### Route A Complete Workflow
Use `arduino-workflow-router` when the request combines implementation with
board constraints, power, networking, calibration, enclosure, upload, OTA, or
maintenance. The router selects the smallest useful sequence and keeps build,
upload, hardware, system, and deployment evidence separate.

## 📱 Platform Support
| Platform | SRAM | Features | Skills Supported |
|----------|------|----------|------------------|
| **Arduino UNO/Nano** | 2KB | Basic I/O, ADC | All (with F() macro) |
| **ESP32** | 520KB | WiFi, BLE, dual-core, FreeRTOS | All + IoT projects |
| **RP2040 (Pico)** | 264KB | Dual-core, PIO, USB host | All (no WiFi unless Pico W) |
### Board-Specific Optimization
The board table below is a set of reference profiles, not an exhaustive support
claim. Always confirm the exact model, revision, pin map, memory, peripherals,
voltage/current limits, protocols, framework, and recovery path before applying
board-specific advice.
The exact-profile inventory is maintained in
[`references/boards/index.json`](https://github.com/wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills/blob/HEAD/references/boards/index.json), including
Mega 2560 Rev3, Nano Every, Nano ESP32, and ESP32-C3-DevKitC-02. A profile is
documentation support, not a claim that the current checkout has been built,
uploaded, wired, or measured on that board.
For AI retrieval, the index carries compact aliases, MCU/architecture, logic
level, capability tags, risk tags, identity contracts, toolchain families, and
evidence status. Resolve names with the deterministic
`scripts/resolve_board_profile.py` helper, then read the linked Markdown
profile and the [AI reference schema](https://github.com/wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills/blob/HEAD/references/boards/ai-reference-schema.md)
before assigning pins or making electrical claims. A generic family match is
not a variant confirmation.
|Arduino UNO (2KB) |ESP32 (520KB) |RP2040(264KB) |
|----------------------|--------------------|----------------|
| F() for strings | WiFi/BLE patterns | Multicore tasks|
| Small buffers | FreeRTOS tasks | PIO for timing |
| Avoid String class | Large JSON buffers | USB host mode |
| 9600 baud | 115200 baud | 115200 baud |
The profile set now also covers Mega 2560 Rev3, Nano Every, Nano ESP32, and
ESP32-C3-DevKitC-02. Use `references/boards/index.json` for the exact
board-to-profile inventory; this table is only a family-level orientation.

### Release And Tags
`SKILL.md` is the canonical source of truth for skill authoring and discovery.
`skills/` is also the single content source for the Codex, Claude Code, Cursor,
and Agent Skills CLI adapters.
Before publishing a release, run:
```bash
python3 scripts/validate_agent_skills.py
python3 scripts/validate_arduino_skill_contract.py
python3 scripts/validate_arduino_plugin.py
python3 scripts/run_arduino_evals.py --output evals/eval-results.json
UV_CACHE_DIR=/private/tmp/arduino-skills-uv-cache uv run --no-project --with pyyaml \
/Users/wed/.codex/skills/.system/plugin-creator/scripts/validate_plugin.py .
```
For release `v1.8.0`, the tag and push commands are:
```bash
git tag -a v1.8.0 -m "Release v1.8.0"
git push origin main v1.8.0
```
Suggested repository topics for hosting platforms:
- `arduino`
- `embedded`
- `agent-skills`
- `makers`
- `esp32`
- `rp2040`
- `uno-r4`
- `ota`
- `i2c`
- `calibration`
### Design Principles
All skills follow these rules from `arduino-skills.md` and the shared contract:
1. **Verifiable Output** - Every example includes test procedures and expected results
2. **Avoid delay() Blocking** - Use `millis()` and state machines for timing
3. **Hardware Abstraction** - All board-specific code in `config.h` with `#if defined()`
4. **Toolchain Neutrality** - Name the exact IDE, CLI, PlatformIO environment, or vendor tool and its versions
5. **Evidence Separation** - Keep build, upload, hardware, system, and deployment proof distinct
6. **Secure Maintenance** - Redact secrets and name update, rollback, dependency, and decommissioning controls
