SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This document enforces strict rules for interrupt and syscall code paths to avoid diagnostic overhead that breaks real-time behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Absolute prohibitions on logging and memory diagnostics
  • Approved patterns for minimal, deterministic code
  • Guidance on testing and code-review checklist

Quick Start

Integrate the rules into your development workflow: ensure no debug prints in hot paths, avoid allocations in interrupt handlers, and prefer external tracing methods.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent logging overhead in interrupt and syscall code paths?

Interrupt and syscall handlers must eliminate logging and diagnostic code to preserve real-time behavior. This Skill enforces strict prohibitions on debug output and memory allocations in these hot paths, replacing them with external tracing methods that don't interfere with deterministic execution.

What are best practices for writing deterministic kernel interrupt handlers?

Deterministic interrupt handlers require minimal, allocation-free code with no logging or memory diagnostics. This Skill provides approved patterns and code-review checklists to ensure handlers stay lightweight and predictable, critical for systems where timing guarantees matter.

Can I use standard debugging tools in syscall and interrupt code?

Standard debugging tools like debug prints and memory diagnostics break real-time behavior in syscalls and interrupts. This Skill guides you to replace them with external tracing methods and testing patterns that gather diagnostic data without impacting the hot path.

What code patterns are safe for interrupt handler development?

Safe interrupt handler patterns avoid allocations, logging, and memory diagnostics entirely. This Skill documents approved minimal patterns and provides a code-review checklist to enforce these constraints during development.

How do I test interrupt handlers without breaking real-time guarantees?

Testing interrupt handlers requires methods that don't introduce diagnostic overhead into the hot path. This Skill covers testing strategies and code-review guidance that validate correctness while preserving deterministic behavior.
