Workflow

Embedded Workflow

This skill is a coordinator. It should not duplicate the Keil, serial, J-Link, OpenOCD, or firmware-analysis logic. It selects backends, calls the lower-level scripts, and aggregates results.

Commands

python <skill_dir>\scripts\workflow_run.py plan --json
python <skill_dir>\scripts\workflow_run.py build --json
python <skill_dir>\scripts\workflow_run.py build-flash --json
python <skill_dir>\scripts\workflow_run.py build-debug --json
python <skill_dir>\scripts\workflow_run.py observe --json
python <skill_dir>\scripts\workflow_run.py diagnose --json

Supported backend selector arguments:

--build-backend auto|keil|gcc
--flash-backend auto|jlink|openocd|probe-rs
--debug-backend auto|jlink|openocd|probe-rs
--observe-backend auto|jlink|openocd|probe-rs

Configuration

Workspace config lives in .embeddedskills/config.json:

{
  "workflow": {
    "preferred_build": "keil",
    "preferred_flash": "auto",
    "preferred_debug": "auto",
    "preferred_observe": "auto"
  }
}

The workflow also reads other skill config sections such as keil, serial, jlink, or openocd when present.

Rules

• Trigger only for explicit workflow requests such as one-click build/flash, automatic diagnosis, or build -> flash -> debug -> observe.
• If there are multiple projects, Targets, or backends, return candidates rather than guessing.
• Use .embeddedskills/state.json to chain build artifacts into flash/debug stages.
• observe should provide recommended observation commands and not hold a long-running session unless the user asked for it.
• If any stage fails, report that stage first and include the lower-level script log path or structured error.
• Do not hide an uncertain flash/debug backend behind a successful build result.

Current Boundary

Build through Keil is working when configured. Flash/debug/observe backends are orchestration placeholders unless a dedicated backend skill or script is configured in the workspace.
