application-notes

application-notes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bahaabdelwahed/embedded-claude-plugin. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,079 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for extracting practical instructions from ST application notes, which are technical documents with implementation advice for ST electronic components. It focuses on steps, configuration examples, reference designs, and troubleshooting information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find relevant ST documents, extract setup steps and code examples, check configuration values, and apply hardware or firmware recommendations.
Why use it?
It turns lengthy application-note PDFs into guidance that can be used during implementation, while connecting practical advice to the component's reference documentation.

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

application-notes 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.

Application Note Extraction

Read and extract practical implementation guidance from ST application notes (AN documents).

What Application Notes Contain

Application notes are practical guides from ST that bridge the gap between the reference manual (theoretical register descriptions) and real-world implementation. They provide:

  • Step-by-step implementation procedures
  • Reference designs and schematics
  • Code examples and configuration snippets
  • Performance measurements and benchmarks
  • Troubleshooting tips and common pitfalls
  • PCB layout recommendations

Where to Find Application Notes

Glob pattern: docs/application-notes/*.pdf

Application notes are shorter than reference manuals (typically 20-80 pages), making them easier to read in fewer passes.

Extraction Process

  1. Glob docs/application-notes/*.pdf to list available AN documents
  2. Identify which AN is relevant to the current task (use the catalog below)
  3. Read the AN table of contents (page 1-2) to find relevant sections
  4. Read the relevant sections (can often read larger page ranges than RM)
  5. Extract implementation steps, configuration values, and code examples
  6. Cross-reference extracted values with the reference manual register descriptions

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.

application-notes is a skill published in the GitHub repository bahaabdelwahed/embedded-claude-plugin (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 1,079 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 2026-08-31.
