What is arduino-workflow-router?

A routing guide for Arduino and embedded projects that involve several areas, such as firmware, hardware, power, networking, calibration, enclosure design, uploading, or maintenance. It directs the work to the relevant specialist guidance and project steps.

Use it for complete or cross-discipline embedded projects. It helps choose between Arduino IDE, Arduino CLI, PlatformIO, and vendor tools while coordinating board, hardware, and deployment checks.

It prevents complex hardware projects from being handled as if they were only code tasks. It helps establish the board, toolchain, evidence, next action, and safe boundaries before changes are made.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00069	$0.01778
Opus 5	$0.00034	$0.00889
Sonnet 5	$0.00014	$0.00356
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00178

Security

Grade A, and why

arduino-workflow-router 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Arduino Workflow Router

Use this skill as the concise entrypoint for complete or cross-discipline embedded work. For a focused task with a confirmed board and one stage, load the specialist skill directly.

Recommended lifecycle entry

For any physical or multi-session request, load embedded-project-loop first. It establishes the goal, one next action, evidence boundary, rollback path, and user-owned physical gate. Then return here for board and toolchain routing.

Load First

Read ../../docs/arduino-skill-contract.md.
If the work spans sessions or physical actions, embedded-project-loop is the recommended first skill; create its goal/next-todo state before implementation and keep it open until the evidence gate is satisfied.
Fill ../../docs/board-support/board-profile-template.md or state why it is unnecessary.
When a named board or board family must be resolved, load ../board-support/SKILL.md and its indexed profile before selecting pins.
Read references/board-intake.md for board and hardware checks.
Read references/toolchain-selection.md for IDE, CLI, PlatformIO, or vendor version and library compatibility.
Select specialist skills from the routing table below.
Read references/failure-recovery.md before upload, boot, power, or firmware recovery actions; read references/connected-device-security.md for any networked or updateable device.

This is the load-first order. Load on demand: references are loaded only when their trigger applies, so the router stays under 500 lines and detailed variants remain progressive disclosure.

Trigger precedence

For combined, underspecified, or cross-discipline requests, this router owns the first route. Load it before any overlapping specialist, including arduino-project-builder or board-selection.
For physical or multi-session requests, load embedded-project-loop before this router, then return to this router for the combined specialist route.
For a single-stage request with a confirmed board and toolchain, load the narrowest specialist directly.
For a named-board reference or capability lookup, board-support owns the exact identity and source-backed profile. board-selection owns choosing or replacing a board from requirements and may consume its handoff.
A board-choice request without implementation, wiring, or lifecycle work may start at board-selection; once another discipline appears, return to this router and preserve the combined-workflow order.
Do not load both arduino-serial-monitor and a second serial-debugging skill; the existing serial monitor owns structured runtime evidence.

What ships with it

4 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.
