wedsamuel1230 Arduino Project Builder
Assemble complete, working Arduino projects from requirements. This skill combines multiple patterns (sensors, actuators, state machines, logging, communication) into cohesive systems.
Quick Start
List available project types:
uv run --no-project scripts/scaffold_project.py --list
Create a complete project:
uv run --no-project scripts/scaffold_project.py --type environmental --board esp32 --name "WeatherStation"
uv run --no-project scripts/scaffold_project.py --type robot --board uno --output ./my-robot
Interactive mode:
uv run --no-project scripts/scaffold_project.py --interactive
Intake And Evidence Boundary
Before assembling a project, read the shared contract and fill the board profile. Record the exact board, framework, toolchain, versions, pins, memory, power, protocols, and recovery path. Keep build, upload, hardware, system, and deployment proof separate; a generated scaffold is not hardware validation.
The scaffold script emits its supported board targets and PlatformIO structure. For another board or vendor framework, reuse the requirements and architecture workflow, then provide a toolchain-specific implementation rather than changing the script's claimed support.

Project Assembly Workflow
- Requirements Gathering - Analyze user request and gather project specifications
- Architecture Design - Design component connections, data flow, and state machines
- Code Assembly - Combine patterns and customize for user hardware
- Testing & Validation - Verify compilation, memory usage, and functionality
- Documentation - Create wiring diagrams, usage instructions, and troubleshooting guides
Quality Standards & Rules
- Quality Standards - Hardware abstraction, non-blocking code, error handling, and memory safety requirements
- Integration Checklist - Pre-delivery verification for sensor validation, timing, and reliability
- Board Considerations - UNO, ESP32, and RP2040 specific optimizations and constraints
Project Output Template
- Output Template - Standardized format for delivering complete Arduino projects

Shared Output Contract
Use the shared Arduino skill contract: state assumptions, required tools and versions, implementation steps, tests/evidence by proof stage, known limitations, and recovery/security notes.
