embedded-state-machine-libs

embedded-state-machine-libs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from easyzoom/aix-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (552 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An integration guide for embedded state machines, which represent a device as named states and define how events move it between them. It applies to library-based or hand-written finite state machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for firmware workflows such as startup, normal operation, errors, recovery, upgrades, sleep, and calibration.
Why use it?
It makes transitions, actions, invalid events, timeouts, retries, and ownership explicit. This helps diagnose stuck states, lost events, reentrancy, and unexpected behavior.

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-state-machine-libs 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 9d 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 State Machine Libs

Overview

Use this skill for embedded state machine libraries and hand-written finite state machines. The core is to make states, events, transitions, side effects, and invalid transitions explicit and verifiable.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

  • The user wants to add or debug a StateMachine library or event-driven MCU workflow.
  • The issue involves wrong transitions, stuck states, reentrancy, event loss, timeout handling, or unclear state ownership.
  • Firmware has modes such as idle, init, run, error, recovery, upgrade, sleep, or calibration.

Do not use this skill for RTOS scheduling issues unless the state machine is the primary abstraction.

First Questions

Ask for:

  • State machine library or custom implementation.
  • State list, event list, and current failing transition.
  • Whether transitions run in ISR, task, main loop, or callback context.
  • Whether timeouts, retries, or external interrupts drive events.
  • Expected behavior for invalid events.

Integration Checklist

  1. Define states and events. Names should reflect system meaning, not implementation steps.

  2. Separate transition from action. Make it clear what changes state and what side effects run because of the transition.

  3. Define invalid event behavior. Ignore, log, assert, error transition, or recovery must be explicit.

  4. Guard reentrancy. Avoid nested transitions unless the library explicitly supports them.

  5. Add observability. Log state transitions, current state, event source, and error transitions.

  6. Test transition table. Validate normal path, invalid events, timeout events, and recovery path.

Common Failures

  • Event emitted from ISR directly mutates state unsafely.
  • Timeout event races with success event.
  • State transition has hidden side effects that fail halfway.
  • Invalid events are silently ignored in safety-critical flows.
  • State names mirror functions instead of product behavior.

Verification

Before claiming state-machine behavior works:

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-state-machine-libs is a skill published in the GitHub repository easyzoom/aix-skills (31 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 552 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.
