File contents

Safe Build Operations Skill

This skill enables safe execution of build system operations with appropriate safeguards.

When to Use

Building firmware projects
Flashing devices
Monitoring serial output
Cleaning build artifacts
Running development workflows

Permitted Operations

Build Commands (containerized)

just build-all
just robocar::build-all
just robocar::build-main
just robocar::build-cam
just webserver::build
just i2s-audio::build
just telegram::build
just kids-audio::build
just xbox::build
just wifitest::build

Flash Commands (native — ports auto-detected)

just robocar::flash-main
just robocar::flash-cam
just webserver::flash
just i2s-audio::flash
just telegram::flash
just kids-audio::flash
just xbox::flash
just wifitest::flash

Monitor Commands (native)

just robocar::monitor-main
just robocar::monitor-cam
just webserver::monitor
just i2s-audio::monitor
just telegram::monitor
just xbox::monitor

Clean Commands

just clean-all
just robocar::clean-all
just webserver::clean
just telegram::clean

Development Workflows (build + flash + monitor)

just robocar::develop-main
just robocar::develop-cam
just webserver::develop
just telegram::develop

Code Quality

just lint
just lint-c
just lint-python
just format
just format-check

Safety Checks

Before Flashing ESP32-CAM

Remind user about GPIO0 → GND requirement
Port is auto-detected from tools/esp32.just — verify with just <module>::info
Override with: PORT=/dev/... just <module>::flash

Before Clean Operations

Confirm user intent (data loss prevention)
List what will be cleaned

Port Auto-Detection

USB-serial adapters (CH340/CP2102): auto-detected via /dev/cu.usbserial-*
ESP32-S3 native USB: auto-detected by Espressif VID 0x303a
Override with PORT env var

Prohibited Operations

This skill does NOT allow:

Arbitrary shell commands
File deletion outside build directories
Network operations
Git operations (use dedicated commands)
System configuration changes

Usage Examples

Build a project

"Build the robocar main controller" → just robocar::build-main

Flash with specific port

"Flash the camera to /dev/ttyUSB0" → Remind about GPIO0, then PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0 just robocar::flash-cam

Full development workflow

"I want to work on the telegram bot" → just telegram::develop

Check code quality

"Run the linters" → just lint
