/workbench-debug
Remote GDB debugging of ESP32 devices via the workbench. Covers USB JTAG (C3/S3), dual-USB (S3 two-port), and ESP-Prog (FT2232H) approaches. Use when setting up JTAG debugging, connecting GDB, configuring OpenOCD, or troubleshooting debug connections. Triggers on "GDB", "JTAG",

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition โ

- /build
Phase 3 of AI Closed-Loop Programming โ the Build phase, and the driver of the whole loop: locate the project on the chain, name the next act, design and declare tests, dispatch code/flash/verify, correct until the tests run clean. Owns the test plan, test design, audit,
Open skill - /commission
Phase 2 of AI Closed-Loop Programming โ Commissioning: prove the project's OWN never-seen-working parts (its board, its wiring, its peers/simulators), so that a failing test means the code and not the setup. The workbench itself is never commissioned by a project โ its quality
Open skill - /define
Phase 0 of AI Closed-Loop Programming โ Definition: engineers the WHAT the loop converges on. Writes and evolves the FSD โ atomic, falsifiable, provenance-tagged requirements each carrying its verification contract โ plus architecture, data model, interface definitions, state
Open skill - /esp-idf-handling
Complete ESP-IDF lifecycle: project setup, build, flash, monitor, and OTA. Automatically detects whether a workbench is available or the device is connected locally via USB. Covers sdkconfig, partition tables, esptool, RFC2217 remote flashing, GPIO download mode, OTA updates,
Open skill - /esp-pio-handling
PlatformIO lifecycle for ESP32 firmware: platformio.ini, environment selection, build, upload and serial monitor, on local USB or through the workbench. Covers what differs from ESP-IDF โ the .pio/build layout, the boot_app0 image an Arduino-framework build needs, and RFC2217
Open skill - /grill-me
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
