arm-cortex-expert

arm-cortex-expert is a skill for Claude Code from sendralt/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (3,299 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of arm-cortex-expert, MIT.

An expert guide for firmware and device-driver development on ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, the small processors used in many embedded devices. It covers hardware communication, interrupts, timing, and resource limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build drivers and firmware for boards using chips such as STM32, nRF52, Teensy, or SAMD, including I²C, SPI, UART, ADC, PWM, USB, and DMA work.
Why use it?
It helps address the constraints of embedded software, where incorrect timing, memory use, or hardware access can make a device unreliable.

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

arm-cortex-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 6d 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.
