Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned jeffallan/claude-skills at 1be15d8064.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides expertise in embedded systems, allowing AI agents to understand and reason about hardware-software interactions. It enables analysis of microcontroller code, debugging firmware issues, and generating solutions related to real-time operating systems (RTOS) and device drivers. The skill can also assist in designing and optimizing power consumption for resource-constrained devices.

When to use it

  • Debugging a malfunctioning IoT device: When troubleshooting why a sensor isn't reporting data correctly or a motor is behaving erratically.
  • Optimizing firmware performance: To improve the speed or efficiency of code running on a microcontroller.
  • Designing a new embedded system: For assistance with selecting appropriate hardware components and developing low-level software.
  • Understanding device driver behavior: To analyze how drivers interact with specific hardware peripherals.

Key capabilities

  • Microcontroller code analysis
  • Firmware debugging
  • Real-time operating systems (RTOS) understanding
  • Device driver expertise
  • Power consumption optimization

Example prompts

  • "Explain the purpose of this C code snippet for a UART driver."
  • "How can I reduce power consumption in an ESP32 microcontroller?"
  • "What are common debugging techniques for RTOS deadlocks?"
  • “Suggest improvements to this Arduino sketch that controls a stepper motor.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on providing clear and specific details about the embedded system, including hardware specifications and code snippets. A basic understanding of programming concepts is helpful when interacting with this skill.
