Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00097 | $0.02014 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.01007 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00403 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00201 |
Grade A, and why
board-support 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 — 172 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Board Support
This is the authoritative AI-facing exact-board reference and lookup entry point
for the repository's source-backed board inventory. It resolves a named target to one exact profile,
extracts capabilities and risks, and hands the result to downstream skills. It
does not replace board-selection, which owns choosing or replacing a board
from project requirements.
Read First
- Read the shared Arduino skill contract.
- Read the board inventory and the AI reference schema.
- Read the matched Markdown profile and its fact-to-source map from
../../references/boards/. - Load
../pin-assignment/SKILL.mdonly when the user also asks for a GPIO allocation or declarations. - Load
../embedded-project-loop/SKILL.mdfirst when the request includes wiring, flashing, powering, measurement, recovery, or multi-session work.
For a repository checkout, use the deterministic resolver before interpreting the profile:
python3 ../../scripts/resolve_board_profile.py \
--query "<board name>" --purpose lookup
Use --purpose pin or --purpose electrical for those advice paths and pass
confirmed values with repeated --identity FIELD=VALUE options. A non-zero
resolver status is a stop condition, not permission to guess.
The index is a compact retrieval surface. The Markdown profile is the detailed source-of-truth for facts, caveats, and gaps. Do not invent fields that are not in the profile or its cited primary sources.
Ownership And Routing
- Named-board lookup, capability questions, profile retrieval, exact pin-risk checks, source-confidence questions, and framework compatibility checks start here.
- Board choice, replacement, trade-off comparison, and lifecycle selection from
requirements start at
board-selection; it may call this skill for facts. - Combined firmware/electronics/power/networking/deployment work starts at
arduino-workflow-router; the router loads this skill when a named board must be resolved. - Pin allocation and raw declaration formatting belong to
pin-assignment.
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.

board-support is a skill published in the GitHub repository wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills (21 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 2,014 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
