What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you prevent catastrophic device outcomes when authoring and validating IoT and embedded changes, such as bricking fleets after OTA, creating unsafe physical behavior, or introducing security gaps in constrained environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Firmware and OTA risk analysis: enforces A/B partitioning, cryptographic signing, staged rollout, rollback testing, and power-loss recovery expectations to reduce bricking and mass outages.
• Safety-critical engineering guardrails: checks watchdog usage, hardware-enforced failsafes, ISR-safe memory practices, and real-time resource constraints to reduce hung or hazardous behavior.
• Protocol and security requirements: guides protocol selection for device constraints and requires mutual TLS with certificate validation/pinning and secure boot-chain assumptions.

Quick Start

Assess an upcoming firmware/OTA and protocol change for an embedded device and ask for a block/pass decision with the exact safety, security, rollback, and resource requirements it must meet.
