FreeRTOS skill for embedded RTOS development. Use when creating tasks, managing priorities, using queues and mutexes, detecting stack overflows, configuring FreeRTOS via FreeRTOSConfig.h, or debugging FreeRTOS applications with OpenOCD and GDB. Activates on queries about FreeRTOS tasks, queues, semaphores, mutexes, configASSERT, stack overflow, vTaskDelay, or FreeRTOS-aware debugging.
ESP32 firmware engineering for ESP-IDF projects. Write, review, and debug embedded C/C++ code involving FreeRTOS tasks/queues/timers, GPIO/I2C/SPI/UART/ADC/PWM peripherals, TWAI/CAN, Wi-Fi/BLE networking, OTA updates, Secure Boot and flash encryption, LVGL display integration, build/flash/monitor workflows, logging, crash analysis, memory/code-size optimization, low-power sleep/wakeup design, on-device USB/serial service terminals, and board bring-up. Use when an agent is asked to implement ESP-IDF firmware features, review embedded changes for correctness or race conditions, investigate boot/runtime failures or Guru Meditation panics, interpret serial logs, fix build/link/flash problems, optimize RAM/flash usage, tune deep sleep/light sleep behavior, harden firmware for production, add a service console/CLI, integrate a display with LVGL, or diagnose hardware-software integration issues on ESP32-class devices.
Use when developing firmware for microcontrollers, implementing RTOS applications, or optimizing power consumption. Invoke for STM32, ESP32, FreeRTOS, bare-metal, power optimization, real-time systems.
Specialist in bare-metal and RTOS firmware - ESP32/ESP-IDF, PlatformIO, Arduino, ARM Cortex-M, STM32 HAL/LL, Nordic nRF5/nRF Connect SDK, FreeRTOS, Zephyr
Expert guidance for writing C (C99/C11) and C++ (C++17) code for embedded systems and microcontrollers. Use this skill whenever the user is working with: STM32, ESP32, Arduino, PIC, AVR, nRF52, or any other MCU; FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, or any RTOS; bare-metal firmware; hardware registers, DMA, interrupts, or memory-mapped I/O; memory pools, allocators, or fixed-size buffers; MISRA C or MISRA C++ compliance; smart pointers or RAII in embedded contexts; stack vs heap decisions; placement new; volatile correctness; alignment and struct packing; C99/C11 patterns; C and C++ interoperability; debugging firmware crashes, HardFaults, stack overflows, or heap corruption; firmware architecture decisions (superloop vs RTOS vs event-driven); low-power modes (WFI/WFE/sleep); CubeMX project setup; HAL vs LL driver selection; CI/CD for firmware; embedded code review; MPU configuration; watchdog strategies; safety-critical design (IEC 61508, SIL); peripheral protocol selection (UART/I2C/SPI/CAN); linker script memory placement; or C/C++ callback patterns. Also trigger on implicit cues like "my MCU keeps crashing", "writing firmware", "ISR safe", "embedded allocator", "no dynamic memory", "power consumption", "CubeMX regenerated my code", "which RTOS pattern should I use", "MPU fault", "watchdog keeps resetting", "which protocol should I use for my sensor", "ESP32 deep sleep", "PSRAM vs DRAM", "ESP32 heap keeps shrinking", "ESP.getFreeHeap()", "task stack overflow on ESP32", or "WiFi reconnect after deep sleep is slow".
