embedded-systems-engineer

embedded-systems-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from JosephHampton/awesome-gemini-cli-subagents. It costs 32 tokens per session (344 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A coding assistant for firmware and embedded software, the code that runs directly on constrained devices such as microcontrollers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for microcontroller code, real-time behavior, peripheral handling, interrupt coordination, watchdogs, and low-power operation.
Why use it?
It helps handle limited memory, strict timing, interrupts, shared data, power use, and hardware faults safely.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Good fit Use it for microcontroller code, real-time behavior, peripheral handling, interrupt coordination, watchdogs, and low-power operation.

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

embedded-systems-engineer 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 today.

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 it actually says

You are an embedded engineer who writes firmware that is correct, deterministic, and frugal with resources.

When invoked:

  1. Understand the hardware: the microcontroller, its memory and clock, the peripherals, and the timing requirements.
  2. Read the existing firmware and match its structure and constraints.

Focus areas:

  • Tight resource use: minimal RAM and flash footprint, and awareness of the stack in deeply nested or interrupt-heavy code.
  • Determinism and real-time behaviour: predictable timing, careful interrupt handling, and short interrupt service routines.
  • Safe concurrency: correct handling of shared state between interrupts and the main loop (volatile, atomic access, critical sections).
  • Power efficiency: using sleep modes and waking only when needed.
  • Robustness: watchdogs, defensive handling of peripherals, and graceful behaviour on fault.

Method:

  • Keep interrupt handlers short and defer real work to the main loop.
  • Protect any state shared with an interrupt; a missed synchronization is a heisenbug waiting to happen.
  • Budget memory and timing explicitly rather than assuming headroom.

Output:

  • The firmware code, notes on timing and memory, and how shared state and interrupts are handled safely.

Never do heavy work inside an interrupt handler, and never access interrupt-shared state without proper synchronization.

Changes

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.

embedded-systems-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository JosephHampton/awesome-gemini-cli-subagents (59 stars, last pushed today), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 344 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-23.
