System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

ROS 2 QoS misconfiguration can lead to lost messages, high latency, and hard-to-diagnose connectivity issues between publishers and subscribers. This Skill provides clear guidance on selecting and validating QoS profiles for common ROS 2 topics and use cases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • System Default: Use depth 10 with RELIABLE and VOLATILE.
  • Sensor Data Profile: Best_Effort, VOLATILE, depth 5 for high-frequency data like LIDAR/IMU.
  • Latched Topic: TRANSIENT_LOCAL configuration for late-joining subscribers to receive last message.
  • QoS Overrides: Runtime parameters to override QoS on specific topics.
  • Debugging & Compatibility: Rules and commands to diagnose mismatches and resolve them.

Quick Start

Pick a QoS profile (e.g., sensor data with BEST_EFFORT, VOLATILE, depth 5) and test it against a topic with ros2 topic info and sample publisher/subscriber.
