cmbacktrace-integration

cmbacktrace-integration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from easyzoom/aix-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (752 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for adding CmBacktrace to Cortex-M devices, a family of microcontroller cores used in embedded products. CmBacktrace records fault details and stack traces when firmware crashes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to integrate or debug fault handlers, register dumps, firmware version details, crash logs, and stack traces sent through UART, RTT, flash, or another output method.
Why use it?
It helps turn HardFaults and other processor faults into crash information that can be investigated. It focuses on keeping the fault context, outputting it safely, and matching the trace to the correct firmware build.

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

cmbacktrace-integration 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 8d 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.

CmBacktrace Integration

Overview

Use this skill to integrate CmBacktrace as a Cortex-M crash diagnosis tool. The key is to preserve fault context, provide correct firmware metadata, route output safely, and verify that backtraces map to the running ELF.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

  • The target is Cortex-M and the user wants automatic fault diagnosis or stack backtraces.
  • The issue involves HardFault, fault handlers, register dumps, firmware name/version/hardware version, or crash logs.
  • The project uses or plans to use CmBacktrace.

Do not use this skill for non-Cortex-M faults. Use embedded-fault-debug or the architecture-specific debug skill instead.

First Questions

Ask for:

  • MCU/core, compiler, optimization level, and build flags.
  • Fault handler code and whether the system resets immediately.
  • Output backend for crash text: UART, RTT, flash, EasyLogger, shell, or custom.
  • Firmware metadata values and where they are defined.
  • Whether the ELF/MAP file matching the running image is available.
  • Current fault output or absence of output.

Integration Checklist

  1. Integrate in the fault path. Call CmBacktrace from the HardFault/fault handling path before reset and before clearing fault state.

  2. Provide metadata. Firmware name, hardware version, software version, and platform identifiers should be meaningful enough for field logs.

  3. Keep output safe. Crash output must not block forever, allocate heavily, or depend on services that may be corrupted.

  4. Match symbols. Ensure the saved crash output can be mapped to the exact ELF/MAP file used to build the flashed image.

  5. Account for compiler behavior. Optimization, frame pointer omission, link-time optimization, and stripped symbols can reduce backtrace quality.

  6. Verify with a controlled fault. Trigger a known null pointer or assert in a lab build, then confirm the report identifies the expected function.

Porting Checks

  • Fault handler does not reset before CmBacktrace runs.
  • Stack pointer and fault stack frame are still valid when called.
  • Output route is initialized early or has a crash-safe fallback.
  • RTOS task stack ranges are known if task-aware backtracing is expected.
  • Watchdog timeout is long enough to emit crash data or is handled intentionally.
  • Crash logs stored to flash do not erase unrelated data without approval.

cmbacktrace-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository easyzoom/aix-skills (31 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 752 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
