Expert guidance for writing C (C99/C11) and C++ (C++17) code for embedded systems and microcontrollers. Use this skill whenever the user is working with: STM32, ESP32, Arduino, PIC, AVR, nRF52, or any other MCU; FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, or any RTOS; bare-metal firmware; hardware registers, DMA, interrupts, or memory-mapped I/O; memory pools, allocators, or fixed-size buffers; MISRA C or MISRA C++ compliance; smart pointers or RAII in embedded contexts; stack vs heap decisions; placement new; volatile correctness; alignment and struct packing; C99/C11 patterns; C and C++ interoperability; debugging firmware crashes, HardFaults, stack overflows, or heap corruption; firmware architecture decisions (superloop vs RTOS vs event-driven); low-power modes (WFI/WFE/sleep); CubeMX project setup; HAL vs LL driver selection; CI/CD for firmware; embedded code review; MPU configuration; watchdog strategies; safety-critical design (IEC 61508, SIL); peripheral protocol selection (UART/I2C/SPI/CAN); linker script memory placement; or C/C++ callback patterns. Also trigger on implicit cues like "my MCU keeps crashing", "writing firmware", "ISR safe", "embedded allocator", "no dynamic memory", "power consumption", "CubeMX regenerated my code", "which RTOS pattern should I use", "MPU fault", "watchdog keeps resetting", "which protocol should I use for my sensor", "ESP32 deep sleep", "PSRAM vs DRAM", "ESP32 heap keeps shrinking", "ESP.getFreeHeap()", "task stack overflow on ESP32", or "WiFi reconnect after deep sleep is slow".
Claude Skills are markdown + scripts loaded into Claude Code; scanned with the same pipeline.
We found this by crawling public sources and nobody has attested to it. That is how most of the registry gets here, and it is not a mark against the artifact — it only means no authenticated act of publication is on record. An artifact can be the vendor's own and still appear here.
Claude Skills install to a single target, no runtime picker.
nerlo install -- cpp-embedded
Manual alternative: copy the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/ so Claude Code loads it on next launch.
cp -r -- cpp-embedded ~/.claude/skills/
Install respects the composite badge: Clean proceeds, Caution prompts for confirmation, and Flagged is refused. Write operations require an API token.
5 of 11 scanners examined this package. The rest do not apply to it — language, ecosystem and packaging decide which analyzers can say anything, and a scanner that cannot examine an artifact reports nothing rather than passing it.

Findings in files this artifact installs stand as reported; a model re-read the rest and said which ones it believes are false positives. This is a second opinion published beside the evidence, not a correction to it: the per-scanner reports above are unchanged, every dismissed finding is still listed there at its original severity, and the score and the Flagged badge are computed from those raw severities alone. Nothing below moved them.
This review has not run for this scan yet. It runs once per scan, in the background, and is kept; it appears here when it has. Until then all 396 findings above stand exactly as their scanners reported them, at full severity.
