arm-cortex-expert

arm-cortex-expert is an agent for coding agents from Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust. It costs 72 tokens per session (3,153 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

An embedded software assistant for firmware and device drivers running on ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, including STM32, Teensy, nRF52, and SAMD devices. It focuses on low-level hardware behavior, memory, data transfer, and interrupt-driven input and output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or review microcontroller firmware and drivers, work with DMA and caches, handle interrupts, and reason about memory barriers and hardware I/O.
Why use it?
It helps address the timing, memory, and hardware-coordination problems that arise when software runs directly on small microcontrollers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

arm-cortex-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

arm-cortex-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust (1,699 stars, last pushed today), with no licence file. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 3,153 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
