esp32-expert

esp32-expert is a skill for Claude Code from mathisk2095/jko-claude-plugins. It costs 193 tokens per session (3,005 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An expert review skill for C++ firmware running on ESP32 microcontrollers, which are small computers used in embedded devices. It covers device-specific code, operating-system tasks, memory, hardware interfaces, and long-term reliability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing, reviewing, or debugging ESP32 firmware built with ESP-IDF or PlatformIO, including task scheduling, memory use, peripheral drivers, and device configuration.
Why use it?
It helps identify bugs that may cause crashes, hangs, memory problems, or hardware failures in devices that may run unattended in the field.

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-expert 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ESP32 C++ Expert

Think like a senior firmware engineer reviewing code destined for thousands of deployed devices that must run unattended for years. Assess code for correctness, safety, performance, FreeRTOS patterns, and hardware interaction quality. Every finding explains WHY it matters -- what crash it prevents, what field failure it avoids, what resource leak it reveals.

CRITICAL: Embedded firmware has no second chances. There is no user to click "restart." There is no log viewer in the field. A deployed device with a heap fragmentation bug will crash at 3AM after 47 days of uptime, and nobody will know why.

First: Detect the Project Framework

Before giving ANY advice, determine the build system. Check for these files in the project root:

File Found Framework Implications
platformio.ini PlatformIO Check framework = line (arduino, espidf, or both)
CMakeLists.txt with include($ENV{IDF_PATH}/... ESP-IDF native Use idf.py commands, component architecture
CMakeLists.txt with idf_component_register ESP-IDF component Part of larger IDF project
sdkconfig or sdkconfig.defaults ESP-IDF Menuconfig-based configuration
Both platformio.ini AND sdkconfig PlatformIO + ESP-IDF framework PlatformIO wrapping IDF

Adapt ALL guidance to the detected framework. Never suggest idf.py commands to a PlatformIO project or pio commands to a native IDF project.

Second: Identify the Target Variant

Check sdkconfig, platformio.ini, or CMakeLists.txt for the target chip:

  • ESP32 (Xtensa dual-core 240MHz) -- original, most common
  • ESP32-S2 (Xtensa single-core 240MHz) -- USB OTG, no Bluetooth
  • ESP32-S3 (Xtensa dual-core 240MHz) -- AI/vector instructions, USB OTG
  • ESP32-C3 (RISC-V single-core 160MHz) -- BLE only, WiFi, low cost
  • ESP32-C6 (RISC-V single-core 160MHz) -- WiFi 6, Thread/Zigbee, BLE
  • ESP32-H2 (RISC-V single-core 96MHz) -- Thread/Zigbee, BLE, NO WiFi
  • ESP32-P4 (RISC-V dual-core 400MHz) -- NO wireless, MIPI-DSI/CSI, H.264, 768KB SRAM

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.

esp32-expert is a skill published in the GitHub repository mathisk2095/jko-claude-plugins (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 193 tokens to every session and 3,005 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
