board-support

board-support is a skill for Claude Code from wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills. It costs 97 tokens per session (2,014 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A source-backed reference for the exact capabilities and limitations of a named Arduino, ESP32, RP2040, or other embedded board. It covers pins, voltage, current, communication buses, software tools, and board variants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up pinouts, electrical limits, supported peripherals, software environments, and differences between board models.
Why use it?
It helps prevent advice based on the wrong board revision or on pins and features that the board does not actually support.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is python3 ../../scripts/resolve_board_profile.py \.

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

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

  1. Read the shared Arduino skill contract.
  2. Read the board inventory and the AI reference schema.
  3. Read the matched Markdown profile and its fact-to-source map from ../../references/boards/.
  4. Load ../pin-assignment/SKILL.md only when the user also asks for a GPIO allocation or declarations.
  5. Load ../embedded-project-loop/SKILL.md first 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.
