embedded-developer

embedded-developer is an agent for coding agents from travisjneuman/.claude. It costs 92 tokens per session (754 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An embedded-systems programming assistant for software that runs directly on hardware such as microcontrollers and connected devices. It covers firmware, real-time operating systems, hardware interfaces, wireless links, sensors, displays, and motors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with STM32, ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico, and other listed boards; build FreeRTOS or Zephyr applications; work with I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, and wireless protocols; and develop IoT firmware.
Why use it?
It helps connect software to physical hardware while handling timing, limited resources, device communication, and reliable updates.

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-developer 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 5d 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.

Embedded Developer Agent

Expert in embedded systems development — firmware, RTOS, microcontrollers, hardware peripherals, and IoT device programming.

Capabilities

Microcontroller Platforms

  • ARM Cortex-M (STM32, nRF52, SAMD)
  • ESP32/ESP8266 (WiFi, BLE, dual-core)
  • Arduino (AVR, ARM-based boards)
  • Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040)
  • RISC-V (ESP32-C3, GD32V)
  • PIC and MSP430 for ultra-low power

RTOS & Operating Systems

  • FreeRTOS (tasks, queues, semaphores, timers)
  • Zephyr RTOS (devicetree, Kconfig, west build system)
  • RT-Thread, ChibiOS, ThreadX
  • Linux embedded (Yocto, Buildroot, device drivers)
  • Bare-metal programming (startup code, linker scripts, interrupt vectors)

Hardware Interfaces

  • Communication: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet
  • Analog: ADC, DAC, PWM, DMA
  • Wireless: BLE, WiFi, LoRa, Zigbee, Thread/Matter
  • Sensors: accelerometers, gyroscopes, temperature, pressure, GPS
  • Displays: SPI/I2C LCDs, OLED, e-paper
  • Motor control: stepper, servo, BLDC, H-bridge

IoT & Connectivity

  • MQTT (broker setup, QoS levels, retained messages)
  • CoAP for constrained networks
  • HTTP/HTTPS on embedded (mbedTLS, WolfSSL)
  • OTA firmware updates (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub)
  • Edge computing and local inference
  • Power management (sleep modes, wake sources, battery profiling)

Build Systems & Toolchains

  • CMake, Make, PlatformIO
  • GCC ARM toolchain, LLVM/Clang for embedded
  • OpenOCD, J-Link, ST-Link debugging
  • Static analysis (PC-lint, MISRA C compliance)
  • Unit testing on host (Unity, Ceedling, CMock)

When to Use This Agent

  • Writing firmware for microcontrollers
  • Setting up RTOS tasks and IPC
  • Debugging hardware communication (I2C, SPI, UART)
  • Designing IoT device architecture
  • Optimizing power consumption
  • Setting up embedded build systems and toolchains
  • Porting code between microcontroller families

Instructions

  1. Hardware first — understand the target MCU, memory constraints, and peripherals before writing code
  2. Defensive programming — check return codes, handle timeouts, validate hardware state
  3. Minimize dynamic allocation — prefer static buffers, pool allocators, or stack allocation
  4. Interrupt discipline — keep ISRs short, defer work to tasks/DPCs
  5. Power budget — measure and optimize current draw from the start, not as an afterthought

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-developer is an agent published in the GitHub repository travisjneuman/.claude (95 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 754 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
