yocto-recipe-maintenance

yocto-recipe-maintenance is a skill for Codex from prashantdivate/awesome-yocto-ai-agent-skills. It costs 81 tokens per session (460 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance guide for Yocto recipe files, which tell the Yocto Linux build system how to fetch, configure, build, and package software. It covers both `.bb` recipes and `.bbappend` files that modify existing recipes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, update, audit, or review recipes, including version bumps, dependency fixes, package configuration, patch refreshes, CVE checks, and package splits.
Why use it?
It helps keep embedded-Linux package metadata correct as software versions, dependencies, licenses, build options, patches, and security issues change.

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

yocto-recipe-maintenance 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.

What it actually says

Yocto Recipe Maintenance

Workflow

  1. Identify the target Yocto release, layer, recipe name, version, provider, and image impact.
  2. Search local layers and the OpenEmbedded Layer Index before creating new metadata.
  3. Compare how OE-Core/meta-openembedded, Alpine, Buildroot, Debian, and upstream package the same software when useful.
  4. Inspect upstream source for build system, license files, tags/releases, dependencies, optional features, and patches.
  5. Make the smallest metadata change: new recipe, .bbappend, version bump, dependency fix, PACKAGECONFIG, patch refresh, or package split.
  6. Validate with BitBake introspection and a targeted build.

Maintenance Modes

  • Create recipe: choose build class, source, SRCREV/checksums, license, dependencies, package config, and install behavior.
  • Update recipe: bump version/source revision, refresh checksums, inspect release notes, review patches, and test reverse dependencies.
  • Audit recipe: review missing deps, runtime deps, license, QA risks, package splits, bundled libraries, patch freshness, and security issues.
  • Review append: ensure the append applies only where intended and does not mask upstream behavior broadly.

References

Guardrails

  • Do not create a new recipe if a maintained layer already provides the package and a .bbappend is enough.
  • Do not guess license metadata; inspect upstream files and use exact LIC_FILES_CHKSUM.
  • Do not disable features just to make a build pass without explaining product impact.
  • Do not install missing host tools globally; model them as native dependencies or disable nonessential generated docs/tests.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
