esp32_crash_review

esp32_crash_review is a skill for Claude Code from agodianel/esp32-claude-workbench. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,039 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for diagnosing ESP32 crashes, including “Guru Meditation” errors, which are panic messages produced by ESP32 devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding causes of invalid memory access, divide-by-zero errors, stack problems, and crash-reboot loops, then recommending fixes.
Why use it?
It helps turn processor registers, exception types, and crash dumps into a likely cause instead of leaving the error difficult to interpret.

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

esp32_crash_review 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 12d 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.

ESP32 Crash Review

Analyze crash reports, Guru Meditation errors, and panic dumps to determine root cause.

When to Use

  • After observing a Guru Meditation error.
  • When a device is stuck in a crash-reboot loop.
  • When analyzing crash dumps from field devices.

Steps

1. Identify the Exception Type

Exception Cause
LoadProhibited Read from invalid memory (often NULL pointer)
StoreProhibited Write to invalid memory
InstrFetchProhibited Tried to execute code from invalid address
IllegalInstruction Stack corruption, code corruption, or invalid function pointer
IntegerDivideByZero Division by zero
Unaligned Unaligned memory access

2. Extract Key Information

From the panic output, collect:

Guru Meditation Error: Core [0/1] panic'ed ([ExceptionType]).
Exception was unhandled.
Core [N] register dump:
PC      : 0x........  PS      : 0x........
A0      : 0x........  A1      : 0x........  ...
EXCVADDR: 0x........    ← The address that caused the fault

PC (Program Counter) → Where the crash happened. EXCVADDR (Exception Address) → What address was accessed illegally. A1 → Stack pointer at time of crash.

3. Decode the Backtrace

# Using addr2line
xtensa-esp32-elf-addr2line -pfiaC -e build/project.elf ADDR1 ADDR2 ADDR3

# Using idf.py
idf.py monitor  # Automatically decodes backtraces

# Using ESP-IDF monitor with ELF
python -m esp_idf_monitor --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 build/project.elf

4. Analyze Common Patterns

NULL Pointer Dereference
  • EXCVADDR: 0x00000000 or small value (< 0x100)
  • Cause: Using an uninitialized pointer or a handle that failed to initialize.
  • Fix: Add NULL checks before dereferencing.
Stack Overflow
  • Signs: IllegalInstruction or LoadProhibited with A1 near the end of stack space.
  • Cause: Task stack too small, deep recursion, large local variables.
  • Fix: Increase task stack size, reduce local buffer sizes, check recursion depth.

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.
