# cwc-makers
Seamless onboarding for the [Code-with-Claude Makers](https://claude.com/cwc-makers) Cardputer kit.
## What it does
Plug in your M5Stack Cardputer-Adv over USB-C, type `/maker-setup`, and Claude will:
1. Clone [`moremas/build-with-claude`](https://github.com/moremas/build-with-claude)
2. Detect the device, flash UIFlow 2.0 firmware, and install the Claude Buddy + Hello + Snake app bundle
3. Walk you through the one physical step (the download-mode button press on the back of the device)
4. Hand you a working pocket computer that pairs with Claude Desktop over BLE
Then ask Claude to build whatever you want next — a magic 8-ball, a pixel pet, a weather ticker — and it'll write the MicroPython and push it to the device without re-flashing.
## Install
```
/plugin install cwc-makers@claude-plugins-official
```
## Components
| Path | Type | User-invocable | Purpose |
|------|------|----------------|---------|
| `commands/maker-setup.md` | slash command | ✅ `/maker-setup` | Entry point — clone repo + run full onboarding |
| `skills/m5-onboard/` | skill | ✅ `/m5-onboard` | Full provisioning playbook (detect, flash, install, every gotcha) |
| `skills/cardputer-buddy/` | skill | ✅ `/cardputer-buddy` | Iterate on apps after onboarding (push, tail, REPL) |
`/maker-setup` is the intended entry point; the skills are also auto-triggered by Claude when relevant. Skill content is vendored from the upstream repo so Claude has the domain knowledge in-context without symlinking anything into `~/.claude/skills/`.
## Prerequisites
Python 3.10+ on the host machine (git is optional — `/maker-setup` falls back to a curl+tar download if it's missing). The onboarding scripts auto-install `esptool` on first run; `pyserial` is vendored in the upstream repo.
## License
Apache-2.0. Skill content vendored from [`moremas/build-with-claude`](https://github.com/moremas/build-with-claude) (Apache-2.0).

disable-model-invocation: true
---
The user has a Cardputer-Adv from claude.com/cwc-makers plugged in over USB-C.
1. Get https://github.com/moremas/build-with-claude into a `build-with-claude/` directory under cwd:
- If `git` is available: `git clone` (or `git pull` if it already exists).
- If `git` is **not** available: don't install it. Download the GitHub tarball instead — `curl` and `tar` ship with macOS, Linux, and Windows 10+ out of the box:
- macOS / Linux: `curl -L https://github.com/moremas/build-with-claude/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz | tar xz && mv build-with-claude-main build-with-claude`
- Windows (PowerShell): `curl.exe -L -o bwc.zip https://github.com/moremas/build-with-claude/archive/refs/heads/main.zip; tar -xf bwc.zip; Rename-Item build-with-claude-main build-with-claude`
- Re-running `/maker-setup` later just re-downloads (~500KB) — no update mechanism needed.
2. Invoke the `m5-onboard` skill and follow it to run `onboard/scripts/onboard.py --apps buddy` from inside `build-with-claude/`, surfacing the download-mode button prompt to the user.
3. When done, tell the user how to launch Claude Buddy and ask what they want to build next (see the `cardputer-buddy` skill for iterating).

The `buddy/` directory in the local `build-with-claude` clone is the MicroPython payload that `m5-onboard` installs onto `/flash/`. Work inside that clone.
## Device layout
```
/flash/
├── main.py launcher menu (replaces UIFlow's boot flow)
├── buddy_*.py shared libs (BLE, UI, state, protocol, chars)
├── burst_frames.py sprite frames
└── apps/
├── claude_buddy.py BLE client → Claude Desktop's Hardware Buddy
├── hello_cardputer.py
└── snake.py
```
`main.py` scans `/flash/apps/` at boot and lists every `.py` as a menu entry. Drop a file into `buddy/device/apps/`, push it, and it appears on next boot.
## Adding an app
Crib from `buddy/device/apps/hello_cardputer.py` — smallest example of keyboard polling, font, and exit conventions. Then push without re-flashing:
```bash
python3 onboard/scripts/install_apps.py --port <PORT> --src buddy
```
`<PORT>` is whatever `detect.py` reported last run (e.g. `/dev/cu.usbmodem1101`, `/dev/ttyACM0`, `COM3`).
## Dev loop tooling (`buddy/scripts/`)
```bash
# Push a subset of files over USB-serial
python3 buddy/scripts/push.py --port <PORT> --files apps/snake.py
# Watch device logs
python3 buddy/scripts/tail_serial.py --port <PORT>
# One-shot REPL exec
python3 buddy/scripts/repl_run.py --port <PORT> --script "import os; print(os.listdir('/flash'))"

description: End-to-end onboarding for a freshly-plugged-in M5Stack ESP32 device (Cardputer, Cardputer-Adv, Core, CoreS3, Stick) — detect on USB, flash UIFlow 2.0 firmware, and install the Claude Buddy MicroPython app bundle. Use whenever the user plugs in or wants to flash/provision/reset an M5Stack or ESP32 board, or says "m5-onboard go".

# M5Stack Onboarding
This skill automates the full cold-start workflow for an M5Stack ESP32 device: detect on USB, identify model, flash UIFlow 2.0, and push a MicroPython app bundle onto `/flash/` so the device boots into user software. The apps we ship (Claude Buddy, Snake, Hello) talk over BLE or USB. The workflow runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows; the skill was developed against an M5Stack Basic v2.6 (CH9102 bridge, ESP32-D0WDQ6-V3, 16 MB flash) and generalized to cover the rest of the Core family, with the Cardputer-Adv (ESP32-S3, native USB) as the current default target.
## Where the scripts live
This skill ships as part of the `cwc-makers` plugin for reference, but the executable scripts and the `buddy/` app bundle live in a local clone of https://github.com/moremas/build-with-claude (the `/maker-setup` command creates this clone). Run every `scripts/*.py` invocation below from inside that clone's `onboard/` directory so `--apps buddy` resolves to the sibling `buddy/device/` payload.
## When to use
Use this when a user plugs in an M5Stack device and wants it provisioned. The decision tree:
- **Fresh/unknown device** → run `onboard.py --apps buddy` end-to-end (detect → identify → flash → install apps). This is the default path.
- **Already-flashed device, user just wants apps installed/refreshed** → run `install_apps.py --src buddy` (or any `--src <path>` to a directory of `.py` files).
- **Flashed device, something feels broken** → run `smoke_test.py` (I2C + LCD + speaker + button check).
- **User wants to know what's on the bus / what the device can do** → `smoke_test.py`.
If multiple devices are plugged in, ask which port to target — don't guess. If the user is provisioning a device they previously worked with (e.g. "same thing as last time" or "another Buddy"), default to `--apps buddy` unless they say otherwise.
### Which variant to assume
The rig this skill lives on provisions **Cardputer-Adv** boards overwhelmingly, so `onboard.py` now defaults to `--variant cardputer-adv`. In practice that means:
- If the user says nothing about the model, go with the default. They're almost certainly holding a Cardputer-Adv.
- If the user says "Cardputer" (no "Adv"), ask — the two models share a form factor but take different firmware images, and flashing the wrong one boot-loops the device.
- If the user names any other board ("Core2", "CoreS3", "Basic", "Fire"), pass the matching `--variant` explicitly — the default won't apply.
- The chip is ESP32-S3 either way, and `detect.py` won't be able to tell Cardputer from Cardputer-Adv before UIFlow is flashed (same native USB-JTAG VID, no pre-flash I2C probe). So this is a user-intent question, not a hardware-fingerprint one.
## The workflow
The main orchestrator is `scripts/onboard.py`. It drives the sub-scripts in order and handles the handoffs between them (waiting for reboots, capturing MAC, reporting progress). Prefer calling it directly over stitching the sub-scripts yourself unless the user asks for a partial run.
The default provisioning command (fresh Cardputer-Adv, install the buddy bundle):
```
python3 scripts/onboard.py --apps buddy
```
**How to invoke this from Claude Code's Bash tool.** Do NOT call `onboard.py` as a foreground Bash command. The Bash tool captures output and does not stream it back to the assistant until the command exits — and this command runs 23 minutes. That silence looks identical to a hang, and the assistant will usually give up before the button-dance prompt ever reaches the user. Instead, always run with `run_in_background: true`, `tee` to a log file, and then use the Monitor tool (or periodic `tail` via Read) to surface stage banners, heartbeats, and prompts to the user in real time. `2>&1` is not the fix — all progress already writes to stderr, which a terminal shows fine. The fix is streaming semantics, not redirection. The pattern that works:
```
# Launch (background, tee log):
python3 scripts/onboard.py --apps buddy 2>&1 | tee /tmp/m5-onboard.log
# Monitor (surfaces key events without drowning in byte-progress spam):
tail -f /tmp/m5-onboard.log | grep -E --line-buffered \
"^====|heartbeat|Heads up|Enter download mode|download mode!|rebooted into UIFlow|Manual reset|DONE|ERROR|Error|Traceback|FAIL|failed|No USB|not detected|Attempt [0-9]|Device already in download|Download mode port|Post-flash port|Waiting for device"
```
### Relaying physical steps to the user (REQUIRED)
The flash stage **cannot proceed without a manual button press** on native-USB boards — there is no software path. When the monitored log shows `Enter download mode` (or the script appears to wait at the FLASH stage), you MUST stop and tell the user to do the following on the **back of the Cardputer**, in your own words, before continuing:
1. Press and **hold** the **G0** button
2. While still holding G0, briefly press and release the **RST** button
3. Keep holding G0 for about one more second, then release it
4. The screen should go fully dark — that means download mode is active
If the device reboots into UIFlow instead of going dark, tell the user G0 was released too early and to try again holding it longer. Do not move on, retry the script, or attempt a software workaround until the user confirms the screen is dark — the flash will not start otherwise. The same applies to any later `Manual reset` prompt: relay the physical step and wait for the user.
Users running `onboard.py` directly in their own terminal (not via Claude Code) will see all output live — no changes needed there.
If `--port` is omitted, `detect.py` picks the most likely candidate across all three OSes: native-USB ESP32-S3 (`/dev/cu.usbmodem*` on macOS, `/dev/ttyACM*` on Linux, `COMx` on Windows), or a CH9102/CP210x UART bridge on older boards. Bluetooth-serial ports are filtered out. If multiple candidates are present, it asks.
The known apps name `buddy` resolves to the `buddy/device/` directory in this repo (custom launcher + Hello + Claude Buddy BLE client + Snake). Any other `--apps` value is treated as a filesystem path.
To skip re-flashing and just push (or refresh) the apps onto an already-provisioned device:
```
python3 scripts/install_apps.py --port <PORT> --src buddy
```
Where `<PORT>` is whatever `detect.py` printed on the last full run — for example `/dev/cu.usbmodem1101`, `/dev/ttyACM0`, or `COM3`.
### Stages
1. **Detect** (`detect.py`) — enumerate serial ports, filter to USB-UART bridges (CH9102 vendor `0x1A86`, Silabs CP210x `0x10C4`, FTDI `0x0403`) or the ESP32-S3 native USB-JTAG interface (`0x303A`). Probe with esptool to confirm the chip. Port names differ per OS (`/dev/cu.usbmodem*` on macOS, `/dev/ttyACM*`/`ttyUSB*` on Linux, `COMx` on Windows) but pyserial abstracts that.
2. **Identify** (`detect.py`) — alongside port discovery, `detect.py` reads the factory-test partition signature and/or scans I2C once UIFlow is on, and cross-references `references/hardware_signatures.md` to suggest the right firmware variant (Basic-16MB, Core2, CoreS3, Cardputer-Adv, etc.). User-facing variant choice happens via `onboard.py --variant`; there is no separate `detect.py --identify` flag.
3. **Fetch firmware** (`fetch_firmware.py`) — query the M5Burner manifest API and download the appropriate UIFlow 2.0 binary into the system temp dir. Cached between runs — safe to clear the cache anytime, it just re-downloads.
4. **Flash** (`flash.py`) — `esptool write_flash 0x0 <image>` at **460800 baud** for UART bridges, `--no-stub` at 115200 baud for native-USB S3 devices. 921600 fails intermittently on the CH9102 bridge — do not increase it. Native-USB flash can intermittently throw `Lost connection, retrying` mid-erase; esptool recovers. The post-flash `watchdog-reset` teardown step can fail even when the flash itself succeeded — `flash.py` parses esptool's stdout, treats that specific failure pattern as non-fatal when `Hash of data verified` appeared, and `onboard.py` falls back to `flash.native_reset()` and then manual-RESET coaching if needed.
5. **Install apps** (optional, `install_apps.py`) — paste-mode REPL upload of every `.py` from a source directory into `/flash/`, then reboot via `repl_reset` (DTR/RTS is a no-op on native USB — don't reach for it). Source layout: root `*.py``/flash/`, `apps/*.py``/flash/apps/` (UIFlow's stock launcher scans that). When the bundle ships a root `main.py`, `install_apps.py` also sets NVS `boot_option=2` so UIFlow's own launcher doesn't run and our `main.py` takes over the boot flow — critical for BLE-using apps on ESP32-S3 (see gotchas below).
6. **Smoke test** (optional, `smoke_test.py`) — I2C scan, LCD test pattern, speaker beep, button read.
## Critical gotchas (baked into the scripts — do not second-guess)
These are things the scripts already handle correctly but which you should not override if the user asks you to "just run esptool manually" or similar:
- **Native-USB ESP32-S3 boards (Cardputer, Cardputer-Adv, CoreS3) require a physical BtnG0+BtnRST dance to enter download mode.** There is no software path. The chip has no DTR/RTS bridge, so nothing esptool or pyserial can do will put it into the ROM bootloader — the user has to hold GPIO0 low across a reset pulse with the hardware buttons. On Cardputer-Adv specifically both buttons (BtnG0 and BtnRST) are on the **back of the device** — small, flush-mounted, often easiest to press with a fingernail. `onboard.py:_wait_for_download_port` prompts for this at runtime during FLASH: *press and HOLD BtnG0, briefly press BtnRST, release BtnRST first, keep holding BtnG0 for ~1 more second, release BtnG0, screen should be fully dark.* If the device reboots back into UIFlow instead, BtnG0 was released too early — the coaching retries and tells the user to hold it longer. Do NOT try to automate this with `esptool --before default_reset` or pyserial's DTR/RTS; both are no-ops on native USB (the pins aren't wired to EN), and adding them just hides the real prompt.
- **Do not unplug the device during FLASH.** Especially on native USB. A mid-flash disconnect leaves the internal flash in an inconsistent state. Mask ROM is usually reachable afterwards (press BtnG0 alone on the back, or do the full BtnG0+BtnRST dance), so the recovery is just to re-run `m5-onboard go` — it's idempotent and will re-enter download mode, re-flash, re-push apps. Don't panic and don't start opening the case; the mask ROM is in silicon and survives a corrupted flash as long as the USB PHY is intact.
- **Baud rate is 460800 on UART bridges, 115200 with `--no-stub` on native USB.** Not 921600 on either. The CH9102 bridge loses sync on `erase_flash` at 921600 (not theoretical — it fails). Native USB's stub-baud-bump path produces "Lost connection" mid-flash; 115200 no-stub is counterintuitively faster end-to-end because it never fails.
- **NVS writes must use `set_str`, not `set_blob`** *(relevant to `install_apps.py`'s `boot_option` setter).* UIFlow's startup calls `nvs.get_str()` and ESP-IDF tags blob and string entries separately. A blob-tagged key returns `ESP_ERR_NVS_NOT_FOUND` to `get_str`, and the device boot-loops. If a prior attempt wrote a blob, call `nvs.erase_key(name)` before `set_str`.
- **REPL multi-line blocks need paste mode.** Sending `try:`/`except:` line-by-line makes the REPL accumulate indentation forever. Use Ctrl-E to enter paste mode, send the block, Ctrl-D to execute. `mpy_repl.py` wraps this.
- **Hard reset is DTR=False, RTS=True, 100ms, RTS=False — but only on UART-bridge devices.** On native-USB ESP32-S3 boards the DTR/RTS lines aren't wired to EN/GPIO0, so that pulse is a silent no-op. Use `mpy_repl.repl_reset()` (sends `machine.reset()` through the REPL) for post-install reboots on those devices — `install_apps.py` already does this. If you bypass `install_apps.py` and stitch your own flow, don't reach for DTR/RTS on a usbmodem port and expect a reboot; files will be on disk but the old code will still be running. That regression bit us once.
- **The idle heap-debug loop is normal.** UIFlow 2.0 prints asyncio diagnostics while waiting at the pairing screen. Don't interpret it as a hang.
- **Cardputer-Adv (ESP32-S3) BLE peripherals require NVS `boot_option=2` + a custom `main.py`.** UIFlow's default `boot_option=1` starts a background Flow-pairing BLE advertise that wedges the NimBLE controller — subsequent `gap_advertise(adv_data=...)` calls from user code hit OSError(-519) "Memory Capacity Exceeded" regardless of payload shape, and the device ends up advertising with empty AD fields that iOS and the desktop Claude Buddy app filter out. The bundle's `main.py` lives at `/flash/` and takes over the boot flow (showing a simple menu over `/flash/apps/`), never touches BLE itself, and leaves the controller pristine for whichever app the user picks. `install_apps.py` now sets `boot_option=2` automatically when the bundle ships a root `main.py` — don't regress that behavior.
## After provisioning (what the user sees on the device)
Once `m5-onboard go` finishes at the `DONE` banner, the device is ready to use on its own:
- **Power.** Slide the switch on the right edge of the Cardputer-Adv to turn it on. Same switch turns it off. The board runs off its internal LiPo when unplugged; USB-C charges it.
- **Boot.** A short boot log scrolls, then the launcher menu appears automatically. The menu lists every `.py` in `/flash/apps/` plus the top-level `/flash/*.py` entries.
- **Navigation.** Arrow keys (or the keyboard's trackpoint-style cursor keys) scroll the menu; Enter launches the highlighted app; ESC returns to the launcher from inside an app.
- **Event WiFi auto-connect.** The bundle's `main.py` connects to a hard-coded event WiFi (SSID `cardputer`) on every boot and shows the result on the LCD before the launcher menu appears. Credentials live in `buddy/device/wifi_event.py`; the connect is best-effort and the launcher always continues even if the connect fails. If you're using this bundle outside the event, edit `wifi_event.py` or remove the `_connect_wifi_with_splash()` call from `main.py`.
- **Claude Buddy over BLE.** First time only: in Claude Desktop, **Help → Troubleshooting → Enable Developer Tools** (one-time, persists across launches). Then **Developer menu → Hardware Buddy → Connect**. BLE works regardless of the WiFi state — the link to Claude.app is local.
- **Getting back to UIFlow.** The buddy bundle ships only a `main.py` at `/flash/` (no replacement `boot.py`), so the stock UIFlow `boot.py` is never touched and there's no `boot_uiflow.py` backup to restore. Revert by removing our `main.py` from the device REPL: `os.remove('/flash/main.py')` followed by `machine.reset()`. UIFlow's stock launcher takes over on the next boot. To start completely fresh including the firmware, re-run the skill without `--apps`.
## Files
- `scripts/onboard.py` — main orchestrator
- `scripts/detect.py` — port discovery + chip ID
- `scripts/fetch_firmware.py` — M5Burner API + download
- `scripts/flash.py` — esptool wrapper
- `scripts/install_apps.py` — push a directory of `.py` files into `/flash/` via paste-mode REPL; backs up `boot.py` as `boot_uiflow.py` before overwriting; also writes the `boot_option` NVS key when the bundle ships a root `main.py`
- `scripts/smoke_test.py` — I2C + LCD + speaker + buttons
- `scripts/mpy_repl.py` — shared serial/REPL helpers (paste mode, hard reset, boot-log capture)
- `references/hardware_signatures.md` — chip + I2C fingerprints → model → firmware
- `references/uiflow2_nvs.md` — NVS key reference with types and failure modes
## Dependencies
- `pyserial` — vendored at `onboard/scripts/vendor/serial/` (pinned 3.5, BSD-3-Clause).
- `esptool` — pip dependency, declared in `requirements.txt`. Importable check happens via `importlib.util.find_spec("esptool")`; binary backstop search covers `~/Library/Python/*/bin/` on macOS, `~/.local/bin/` on Linux, `%APPDATA%\Python\Python3XX\Scripts\` on Windows.
`onboard.py` runs a preflight check at startup: if `esptool` (or, in the rare prune-vendor case, `pyserial`) is missing, it lists what's needed and asks the user whether to install now. On `Y` (or Enter) it runs `python -m pip install --user <missing>` in the current interpreter, then verifies. Inside a venv the `--user` flag is dropped so the install lands in the venv's site-packages. Non-interactive callers (piped stdin) get a manual-install hint instead of a prompt.
Python itself has to exist before this skill can do anything — you can't bootstrap an interpreter from inside one. `git` is **not** required — the `/maker-setup` command falls back to downloading the GitHub tarball with `curl`+`tar` (both pre-installed on macOS, Linux, and Windows 10+) when `git --version` fails. Claude's responsible for detecting Python and installing it if missing *before* running any `scripts/*.py` invocation. Detection is just running `python3 --version` / `python --version` — if it fails, Claude fetches Python with the host's native package manager before anything else.
**Per-OS Python bootstrap (Claude's responsibility if missing):**
- **Windows** — `winget install -e --id Python.Python.3.13 --silent --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements`. Takes ~30 seconds, no UI, gets PATH right. If the current shell can't see `python` afterwards, tell the user to close and reopen the terminal (Windows updates PATH only on new shells).
- **macOS** — Python 3 is usually pre-installed as `/usr/bin/python3` on any current macOS (shipped by Apple). If for some reason it isn't, `brew install python@3.13` via Homebrew is the go-to; if Homebrew itself is missing, offer to install it via `/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"` (but only if the user confirms — Homebrew is a larger commitment than winget).
- **Linux** — use the distro package manager. Debian/Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip`. Fedora: `sudo dnf install -y python3 python3-pip`. Arch: `sudo pacman -S --noconfirm python python-pip`. You may need to sudo and should surface the password prompt to the user if needed.
**pyserial — bundled with the skill:**
A pinned `pyserial 3.5` ships under `scripts/vendor/` (BSD-3-Clause, Apache-compatible). Every script that imports `serial` calls `vendor_path.ensure_on_syspath()` before the first third-party import, which prepends `scripts/vendor/` to `sys.path`, so the vendored copy resolves regardless of whatever the user has system-wide. Net effect: port enumeration and REPL I/O work on a fresh clone with zero pip step. ~500 KB, pure-Python, same tree on macOS / Linux / Windows.
**esptool — pip dependency, auto-installed on first run:**
`esptool` is GPLv2+ and is intentionally **not** vendored — keeping the repository cleanly Apache-2.0 means the GPL bits live in the user's pip-managed environment, not in the tree. The skill's preflight checks for an importable `esptool` and, if missing, prompts to install it (`python -m pip install --user esptool``--user` dropped inside a venv so it lands in site-packages). For subprocess calls we use `[sys.executable, "-m", "esptool", ...]`; the subprocess inherits user-site so the pip-installed module imports cleanly. `requirements.txt` declares this for explicit setup; the prompt path is the default for first-time attendees who haven't run pip yet.
Non-interactive callers (piped stdin, CI) skip the prompt and get a `python -m pip install --user esptool` hint instead.
**Fallback if someone prunes `scripts/vendor/`:**
The same preflight path also re-installs pyserial via pip if the vendor copy is gone. This handles the case where someone downloaded a source-only zip that excluded vendor, or manually trimmed the repo to save space.
**USB driver — Windows-specific, only for older boards:**
The CH9102 USB-UART driver is still a manual install on Windows — WCH doesn't publish a winget manifest. Only needed for UART-bridge boards (Basic, Fire, Core2, StickC). Native-USB ESP32-S3 boards (Cardputer, Cardputer-Adv, CoreS3) enumerate as composite USB-CDC devices using Windows' in-box drivers and need no extra install.
## Platform notes
The skill runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Non-obvious bits:
- **Port naming.** pyserial abstracts the lookup but what the user sees looks different per OS. Pass whichever form `detect.py` reports:
- macOS: `/dev/cu.usbmodem1101` (native USB) or `/dev/cu.usbserial-XXXX` (CH9102)
- Linux: `/dev/ttyACM0` (native USB) or `/dev/ttyUSB0` (UART bridge)
- Windows: `COM3`, `COM4`, etc. (Device Manager → Ports if unsure)
- **Linux permissions — read this before blaming hardware.** On most distros, accessing `/dev/ttyUSB*` / `/dev/ttyACM*` without sudo requires group membership (`dialout` on Debian/Ubuntu/Arch, `uucp` on Fedora). Symptom: `detect.py` finds the port, but the flash step fails with `Permission denied` or `Could not open port`. Fix once, long-term:
```bash
sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER
# log out / log back in — group change only takes effect for new sessions
```
`sudo python3 scripts/onboard.py ...` works as a one-off but adding the group membership is strictly better because pyserial's port-open in user mode succeeds cleanly from then on.
- **Windows PATH gotchas.** Python's `pip install --user esptool` lands the executable in `%APPDATA%\Python\Python3XX\Scripts\`. If that directory isn't on PATH, `pip` prints a warning and nothing else picks up the install. `detect.py` looks there directly as a backstop, so the skill still works even without PATH fixed. But if you're invoking esptool outside the skill (or hitting "esptool not found" errors from other tools), either:
- Re-run the Python installer and tick "Add Python to PATH" (the install's default), OR
- Add `%APPDATA%\Python\Python3XX\Scripts` to PATH via System Properties → Environment Variables, OR
- Use `python -m esptool ...` which always works regardless of PATH.
- **Windows Store Python.** Newer Windows 11 machines may have Python pre-installed via Microsoft Store. It works but has quirky PATH behavior (lives under `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.*\`). `detect.py` checks that location too. If you have the choice, the `winget install Python.Python.3.13` version is more predictable.
- **Bundle path resolution.** `install_apps.py`'s `--src buddy` shorthand resolves in this order:
1. `$M5_BUDDY_DIR` if set — explicit override, always wins. Useful when you want to point at a fork or a customized bundle that isn't in this clone.
2. The `buddy/device/` directory inside this repo, found via `os.path.realpath(__file__)` walking up from `install_apps.py`. Works for any clone location, including symlinked skill installs at `~/.claude/skills/m5-onboard/`.
3. `~/Downloads/m5stack/buddy/device`.
4. `~/Desktop/m5stack/buddy/device`.
Most installs hit (2). Set `M5_BUDDY_DIR` only for the unusual case of pointing at a bundle outside this clone: `export M5_BUDDY_DIR=/path/to/buddy/device` (Unix) or `$env:M5_BUDDY_DIR="C:\path\to\buddy\device"` (PowerShell).
- **Firmware cache.** Downloaded firmware lands at `~/.cache/m5-onboard/` (or `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/m5-onboard/`), created at mode 0700 if missing. Cache files are MD5-verified at write time and re-verified on hit. Clearing the cache is safe; the next run re-downloads.

@@ -37,25 +36,32 @@ When a user describes what they want an agent to do, you will:
- Is memorable and easy to type
- Avoids generic terms like "helper" or "assistant"
6. **Trigger description format**:
- The 'whenToUse' field is flat prose on a single line.
- Format: "Use this agent when [conditions]. Typical triggers include [scenario 1], [scenario 2], and [scenario 3]. See \"When to invoke\" in the agent body for worked scenarios."
- Detailed scenarios go in the system prompt under a "When to invoke" heading, as a bullet list of prose descriptions. Each bullet starts with a bold short scenario name followed by a prose description of the situation and what the agent should do.
- Example bullets:
- "**Proactive review after new code.** The assistant has just written a function in response to a user request. Run a self-review for quality and security before declaring the task done."
- "**Explicit review request.** The user asks for the recent changes to be reviewed. Run a thorough review and report findings."
- Cover both proactive and reactive triggers when applicable. Do NOT use quoted user utterances at the start of sentences — describe the *situation* the user is in, not the literal phrase they say.
6. **Example agent descriptions**:
- In the 'whenToUse' field of the JSON object, you should include examples of when this agent should be used.
- Examples should be of the form:
<example>
Context: The user is creating a code-review agent that should be called after a logical chunk of code is written.
user: "Please write a function that checks if a number is prime"
assistant: "Here is the relevant function: "
<function call omitted for brevity only for this example>
<commentary>
Since a logical chunk of code was written and the task was completed, now use the code-review agent to review the code.
</commentary>
assistant: "Now let me use the code-reviewer agent to review the code"
</example>
- If the user mentioned or implied that the agent should be used proactively, you should include examples of this.
- NOTE: Ensure that in the examples, you are making the assistant use the Agent tool and not simply respond directly to the task.
Your output must be a valid JSON object with exactly these fields:
{
"identifier": "A unique, descriptive identifier using lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (e.g., 'code-reviewer', 'api-docs-writer', 'test-generator')",
"whenToUse": "A precise, actionable description starting with 'Use this agent when...' that clearly defines the triggering conditions and use cases. Flat prose only. End with a pointer to the 'When to invoke' section in the agent body.",
"systemPrompt": "The complete system prompt that will govern the agent's behavior, written in second person ('You are...', 'You will...'). Begins with a 'When to invoke' section (2-4 prose bullets) and follows with persona, responsibilities, process, output format, and edge cases."

"systemPrompt": "The complete system prompt that will govern the agent's behavior, written in second person ('You are...', 'You will...') and structured for maximum clarity and effectiveness"
}
Key principles for your system prompts:
- Be specific rather than generic - avoid vague instructions
- Include concrete examples when they would clarify behavior (as prose)
- Include concrete examples when they would clarify behavior
- Balance comprehensiveness with clarity - every instruction should add value
- Ensure the agent has enough context to handle variations of the core task

# Agent Triggering: Best Practices
# Agent Triggering Examples: Best Practices
Complete guide to writing trigger descriptions that cause an agent to be dispatched reliably.
Complete guide to writing effective `<example>` blocks in agent descriptions for reliable triggering.
## Where trigger descriptions live
## Example Block Format
An agent file has two places that talk about triggering:
1. **`description:` field in YAML frontmatter.** Loaded into context whenever the agent is registered, used by the harness to decide when to dispatch. Keep it flat prose.
2. **A "When to invoke" section in the agent body.** Loaded only when the agent is actually invoked. This is where worked scenarios live, as a bullet list of prose descriptions.
## Format
### `description:` field
```
description: Use this agent when [conditions]. Typical triggers include [scenario 1 phrased as a prose noun phrase], [scenario 2], and [scenario 3]. See "When to invoke" in the agent body for worked scenarios.
```
Rules:
- Single line of flat prose within the YAML scalar.
- Name 2-4 trigger scenarios as noun phrases.
- End with the pointer to the body's "When to invoke" section.
### "When to invoke" body section
The standard format for triggering examples:
```markdown
## When to invoke
[Two to four representative scenarios as prose bullets. Each describes the situation
in third person and what the agent should do.]
- **[Short scenario name].** [What the situation looks like — what just happened or what
the user is asking for — and what the agent should do in response.]
- **[Short scenario name].** [Same.]
<example>
Context: [Describe the situation - what led to this interaction]
user: "[Exact user message or request]"
assistant: "[How Claude should respond before triggering]"
<commentary>
[Explanation of why this agent should be triggered in this scenario]
</commentary>
assistant: "[How Claude triggers the agent - usually 'I'll use the [agent-name] agent...']"
</example>
```
## Anatomy of a good scenario
## Anatomy of a Good Example
### Scenario name (the bold lead)
### Context
**Purpose:** A short noun phrase identifying the situation type.
**Purpose:** Set the scene - what happened before the user's message
**Good names:**
- *User-requested review after a feature lands.*
- *Proactive review of newly-written code.*
- *Pre-PR sanity check.*
- *PR updated with new logic.*
**Bad names:**
- *Normal usage.* (not specific)
- *User needs help.* (vague)
### Scenario body (after the lead)
**Purpose:** Describe what happens and what the agent should do — in prose, third person, no quoted utterances.
**Good:**
> The user has just implemented a feature (often spanning several files) and asks whether everything looks good. Run a review of the recent diff and report findings.
**Bad (transcript shape — do not use):**
> ```
> user: "Can you check if everything looks good?"
> assistant: "I'll use the reviewer agent..."
> ```
The bad version mixes a turn-marker shape into the agent file. Keep scenarios as situation descriptions in prose.
## Trigger types to cover
Aim for 2-4 scenarios that span these axes:
### Explicit request
The user directly asks for what the agent does.
- *User-requested security check.* The user explicitly asks for a security review of recent code.
### Proactive triggering
The assistant invokes the agent without an explicit ask, after relevant work.
- *Proactive review after writing database code.* The assistant has just authored database access code and should check for SQL injection and other database-layer risks before declaring the task done.
### Implicit request
The user implies need without naming the agent.
- *Code-clarity complaint.* The user describes existing code as confusing or hard to follow. Treat as a request to refactor for readability.
### Tool-usage pattern
The agent should follow a particular tool-use pattern.
- *Post-test-edit verification.* The assistant has just made multiple edits to test files. Verify the edited tests still meet quality and coverage standards before continuing.
## Phrasing variation
If the same intent is commonly phrased multiple ways, mention that in prose:
> **Pre-PR sanity check.** The user signals (in any phrasing — "ready to open a PR", "I think we're done here", "let's ship this") that they're about to open a pull request.
Don't write three near-duplicate scenarios that differ only in the literal phrase — collapse them into one prose scenario that names the variation.
## How many scenarios?
- **Minimum: 2.** Usually one explicit + one proactive.
- **Recommended: 3-4.** Explicit, proactive, and one implicit or edge case.
- **Maximum: 5.** More than that bloats the body without adding routing signal.
## Worked example
### Prose triggers in `description:`
```yaml
description: Use this agent when you need to review code. Typical triggers include user-requested review after a feature lands, proactive review of freshly-written code, and a pre-PR sanity check. See "When to invoke" in the agent body for worked scenarios.
**Good contexts:**
```
Context: User just implemented a new authentication feature
Context: User has created a PR and wants it reviewed
Context: User is debugging a test failure
Context: After writing several functions without documentation
```
### Scenarios as situation descriptions in the body
**Bad contexts:**
```
Context: User needs help (too vague)
Context: Normal usage (not specific)
```
### User Message
**Purpose:** Show the exact phrasing that should trigger the agent
**Good user messages:**
```
user: "I've added the OAuth flow, can you check it?"
user: "Review PR #123"
user: "Why is this test failing?"
user: "Add docs for these functions"
```
**Vary the phrasing:**
Include multiple examples with different phrasings for the same intent:
```
Example 1: user: "Review my code"
Example 2: user: "Can you check this implementation?"
Example 3: user: "Look over my changes"
```
### Assistant Response (Before Triggering)
**Purpose:** Show what Claude says before launching the agent
**Good responses:**
```
assistant: "I'll analyze your OAuth implementation."
assistant: "Let me review that PR for you."
assistant: "I'll investigate the test failure."
```
**Proactive example:**
```
assistant: "Great! Now let me review the code quality."
<commentary>
Code was just written, proactively trigger review agent.
</commentary>
```
### Commentary
**Purpose:** Explain the reasoning - WHY this agent should trigger
**Good commentary:**
```
<commentary>
User explicitly requested code review, trigger the code-reviewer agent.
</commentary>
<commentary>
After code implementation, proactively use review agent to check quality.
</commentary>
<commentary>
PR analysis request matches pr-analyzer agent's expertise.
</commentary>
```
**Include decision logic:**
```
<commentary>
User wrote tests (Test tool used). The test-analyzer agent should check
test quality and coverage before continuing.
</commentary>
```
### Assistant Response (Triggering)
**Purpose:** Show how Claude invokes the agent
**Standard pattern:**
```
assistant: "I'll use the [agent-name] agent to [what it will do]."
```
**Examples:**
```
assistant: "I'll use the code-reviewer agent to analyze the changes."
assistant: "Let me use the test-generator agent to create comprehensive tests."
assistant: "I'll use the security-analyzer agent to check for vulnerabilities."
```
## Example Types
### Type 1: Explicit Request
User directly asks for what the agent does:
```markdown
## When to invoke
- **User-requested review.** The user asks for a review of recent changes (any phrasing). Run a review of the unstaged diff.
<example>
Context: User explicitly requests security analysis
user: "Check my code for security vulnerabilities"
assistant: "I'll use the security-analyzer agent to perform a thorough security review."
<commentary>
Direct security analysis request triggers the security-analyzer agent.
</commentary>
</example>
```
### Trigger condition only — output format goes elsewhere
### Type 2: Proactive Triggering
Agent triggers after relevant work without explicit request:
```markdown
- **Review.** The user asks for a review. Run the review and report findings as specified in the Output Format section.
<example>
Context: User just implemented database queries
user: "I've added the user search functionality"
assistant: "Great! Let me review it for security."
<commentary>
Database code written. Proactively trigger security-analyzer to check
for SQL injection and other database security issues.
</commentary>
assistant: "I'll use the security-analyzer agent to check the database code."
</example>
```
## Template library
### Type 3: Implicit Request
### Code review agent
```yaml
description: Use this agent when you need to review code for adherence to project guidelines and best practices. Typical triggers include the user asking for a review of a feature they just implemented, proactive review of newly-written code before declaring a task done, and a pre-PR sanity check. See "When to invoke" in the agent body.
```
User implies need without stating it directly:
```markdown
## When to invoke
- **User-requested review after a feature lands.** The user has implemented a feature and asks whether the result looks good. Review the recent diff and report findings.
- **Proactive review of newly-written code.** The assistant has just authored new code in response to a user request. Run a self-review before declaring the task done.
- **Pre-PR sanity check.** The user signals readiness to open a pull request. Review the full diff first.
<example>
Context: User mentions code is hard to understand
user: "This code is confusing and hard to follow"
assistant: "I can help improve the code clarity."
<commentary>
User indicates complexity issues. Trigger code-simplifier agent to refactor
for better readability.
</commentary>
assistant: "I'll use the code-simplifier agent to suggest improvements."
</example>
```
### Test generation agent
### Type 4: Tool Usage Pattern
```yaml
description: Use this agent when you need to generate tests for code that lacks them. Typical triggers include the user explicitly asking for tests for a function or module, and the assistant proactively generating tests after writing new code that has no test coverage. See "When to invoke" in the agent body.
```
Agent triggers based on prior tool usage:
```markdown
## When to invoke
- **Explicit test request.** The user asks for tests covering a specific function, module, or feature. Generate a comprehensive test suite.
- **Proactive coverage after new code.** The assistant has just written new code with no accompanying tests. Generate tests before declaring the task done.
<example>
Context: User made multiple edits to test files
user: "I've updated all the tests"
assistant: "Great! Let me verify test quality."
<commentary>
Multiple Edit tools used on test files. Proactively trigger test-quality-analyzer
to ensure tests follow best practices.
</commentary>
assistant: "I'll use the test-quality-analyzer agent to review the tests."
</example>
```
### Documentation agent
## Multiple Examples Strategy
```yaml
description: Use this agent when you need to write or improve documentation for code, especially APIs. Typical triggers include the user asking for docs on a specific function or endpoint, and proactive documentation generation after the assistant adds new API surface. See "When to invoke" in the agent body.
```
### Cover Different Phrasings
```markdown
## When to invoke
<example>
user: "Review my code"
[...]
</example>
- **Explicit doc request.** The user asks for documentation for a specific surface (function, endpoint, module).
- **Proactive docs for new API surface.** The assistant has just added new API endpoints or public functions without docstrings.
<example>
user: "Can you check my implementation?"
[...]
</example>
<example>
user: "Look over these changes"
[...]
</example>
```
### Validation agent
```yaml
description: Use this agent when you need to validate code before commit or merge. Typical triggers include the user signaling readiness to commit, and an explicit validation request. See "When to invoke" in the agent body.
```
### Cover Proactive and Reactive
```markdown
## When to invoke
<example>
Context: User explicitly requests review
user: "Review my code for issues"
[...]
</example>
- **Pre-commit validation.** The user signals readiness to commit. Run validation first and surface any issues.
- **Explicit validation request.** The user asks for the code to be validated.
<example>
Context: After user writes code
user: "I've implemented the feature"
assistant: "Great! Now let me review it."
<commentary>
Code written, proactively review.
</commentary>
[...]
</example>
```
## Debugging triggering issues
### Cover Edge Cases
### Agent not triggering
```markdown
<example>
Context: Typical usage
user: "Check my PR"
[...]
</example>
Check:
1. The `description:` prose names the right trigger scenarios.
2. The scenarios in the body cover the actual phrasings the user uses.
3. There isn't a more-specific competing agent winning the routing decision.
<example>
Context: Large PR that needs thorough analysis
user: "This is a big PR, can you do a deep review?"
[...]
<commentary>
Large PR mentioned, use thorough analysis mode.
</commentary>
</example>
```
Fix: add or expand scenarios in the body, and tighten the prose summary in `description:`.
## Common Mistakes
### Agent triggers too often
### ❌ Missing Context
Check:
1. The trigger scenarios are too generic or overlap with other agents.
2. The `description:` doesn't say when NOT to use the agent.
```markdown
<example>
user: "Review my code"
assistant: "I'll use the code-reviewer agent."
</example>
```
Fix: narrow the scenarios; add a "Do not invoke when..." line to `description:` if needed.
**Why bad:** No context about what led to this request.
### Agent triggers in the wrong scenarios
### ✅ With Context
Check:
1. Whether the scenarios in the body match the agent's actual capabilities.
```markdown
<example>
Context: User just finished implementing authentication
user: "Review my code"
assistant: "I'll use the code-reviewer agent to analyze the auth implementation."
<commentary>
Auth code written, review for security and best practices.
</commentary>
</example>
```
Fix: rewrite scenarios to match what the agent actually does.
### ❌ No Commentary
## Best practices summary
```markdown
<example>
Context: User requests review
user: "Check my changes"
assistant: "I'll use the reviewer agent."
</example>
```
- Keep `description:` as flat prose with a short summary of trigger scenarios
- Put detailed scenarios in a "When to invoke" body section, as prose bullets
- Cover both explicit and proactive triggering
- Describe situations the agent should respond to
- Mention phrasing variation in prose ("any phrasing — 'ready to ship', 'looks done'") rather than via multiple near-duplicate scenarios
- Keep trigger scenarios separate from output format
**Why bad:** Doesn't explain WHY agent triggers.
### ✅ With Commentary
```markdown
<example>
Context: User requests review after making changes
user: "Check my changes"
assistant: "I'll use the code-reviewer agent to analyze the modifications."
<commentary>
Code review request triggers agent to check quality, security, and adherence to standards.
</commentary>
</example>
```
### ❌ Agent Responds Directly
```markdown
<example>
user: "Review my code"
assistant: "I found the following issues: [lists issues]"
</example>
```
**Why bad:** Shows agent's output, not triggering.
### ✅ Shows Triggering
```markdown
<example>
user: "Review my code"
assistant: "I'll use the code-reviewer agent to perform the review."
<commentary>
Review request triggers the agent.
</commentary>
</example>
```
## How Many Examples?
### Minimum: 2 Examples
Cover at least:
1. Explicit request
2. One variation or proactive trigger
### Recommended: 3-4 Examples
Cover:
1. Explicit request (direct ask)
2. Implicit request (user implies need)
3. Proactive trigger (after relevant work)
4. Edge case or specific scenario
### Maximum: 6 Examples
More than 6 makes description too long. Focus on most important scenarios.
## Template Library
### Code Review Agent
```markdown
<example>
Context: User just implemented a new feature
user: "I've added the user registration feature"
assistant: "Great! Let me review the code quality."
<commentary>
Code written, proactively trigger code-reviewer agent.
</commentary>
assistant: "I'll use the code-reviewer agent to analyze the implementation."
</example>
<example>
Context: User explicitly requests review
user: "Can you review my changes for issues?"
assistant: "I'll use the code-reviewer agent to perform a thorough review."
<commentary>
Explicit review request triggers the agent.
</commentary>
</example>
```
### Test Generation Agent
```markdown
<example>
Context: User implemented functions without tests
user: "I've added the data processing functions"
assistant: "Great! Let me generate tests for these."
<commentary>
New code without tests, proactively trigger test-generator agent.
</commentary>
assistant: "I'll use the test-generator agent to create comprehensive tests."
</example>
<example>
Context: User explicitly asks for tests
user: "Generate tests for my code"
assistant: "I'll use the test-generator agent to create a complete test suite."
<commentary>
Direct test generation request triggers the agent.
</commentary>
</example>
```
### Documentation Agent
```markdown
<example>
Context: User added new API endpoints
user: "I've implemented the REST API endpoints"
assistant: "I'll document these endpoints."
<commentary>
New API code, proactively generate documentation.
</commentary>
assistant: "I'll use the api-docs-writer agent to create comprehensive documentation."
</example>
<example>
Context: User requests documentation
user: "Write docs for this API"
assistant: "I'll use the api-docs-writer agent to generate clear documentation."
<commentary>
Documentation request triggers the agent.
</commentary>
</example>
```
### Validation Agent
```markdown
<example>
Context: User ready to commit changes
user: "I'm ready to commit this code"
assistant: "Let me validate it first."
<commentary>
Before commit, proactively validate with validation-agent.
</commentary>
assistant: "I'll use the code-validator agent to check for issues."
</example>
<example>
Context: User asks for validation
user: "Validate my implementation"
assistant: "I'll use the code-validator agent to verify correctness."
<commentary>
Explicit validation request triggers the agent.
</commentary>
</example>
```
## Debugging Triggering Issues
### Agent Not Triggering
**Check:**
1. Examples include relevant keywords from user message
2. Context matches actual usage scenarios
3. Commentary explains triggering logic clearly
4. Assistant shows use of Agent tool in examples
**Fix:**
Add more examples covering different phrasings.
### Agent Triggers Too Often
**Check:**
1. Examples are too broad or generic
2. Triggering conditions overlap with other agents
3. Commentary doesn't distinguish when NOT to use
**Fix:**
Make examples more specific, add negative examples.
### Agent Triggers in Wrong Scenarios
**Check:**
1. Examples don't match actual intended use
2. Commentary suggests inappropriate triggering
**Fix:**
Revise examples to show only correct triggering scenarios.
## Best Practices Summary
**DO:**
- Include 2-4 concrete, specific examples
- Show both explicit and proactive triggering
- Provide clear context for each example
- Explain reasoning in commentary
- Vary user message phrasing
- Show Claude using Agent tool
**DON'T:**
- Use generic, vague examples
- Omit context or commentary
- Show only one type of triggering
- Skip the agent invocation step
- Make examples too similar
- Forget to explain why agent triggers
## Conclusion
Reliable triggering comes from prose descriptions of the situations an agent should respond to.
Well-crafted examples are crucial for reliable agent triggering. Invest time in creating diverse, specific examples that clearly demonstrate when and why the agent should be used.

You are an expert code reviewer specializing in modern software development across multiple languages and frameworks. Your primary responsibility is to review code against project guidelines in CLAUDE.md with high precision to minimize false positives.
## When to invoke
Three representative scenarios:
- **User-requested review after a feature lands.** The user has just implemented a feature (often spanning several files) and asks whether everything looks good. Run a review of the recent diff and report findings.
- **Proactive review of newly-written code.** The assistant has just written new code (e.g. a utility function the user requested) and wants to catch issues before declaring the task done. Spawn this agent on the freshly written files.
- **Pre-PR sanity check.** The user signals they're ready to open a pull request. Run a review of the full diff first to avoid round-trips on the PR itself.
## Review Scope
By default, review unstaged changes from `git diff`. The user may specify different files or scope to review.

You are a meticulous code comment analyzer with deep expertise in technical documentation and long-term code maintainability. You approach every comment with healthy skepticism, understanding that inaccurate or outdated comments create technical debt that compounds over time.
## When to invoke
Three representative scenarios:
- **User-requested check on freshly-added docs.** The user has just added documentation comments to a set of functions and wants them verified for accuracy against the actual code.
- **Proactive check after generating documentation.** The assistant has just authored detailed documentation (e.g. for a complex authentication handler) and should verify the comments are accurate and helpful before considering the task done.
- **Pre-PR sweep for comment changes.** Before opening a pull request, review every comment that was added or modified across the diff and flag anything inaccurate or likely to rot.
Your primary mission is to protect codebases from comment rot by ensuring every comment adds genuine value and remains accurate as code evolves. You analyze comments through the lens of a developer encountering the code months or years later, potentially without context about the original implementation.

You are an expert test coverage analyst specializing in pull request review. Your primary responsibility is to ensure that PRs have adequate test coverage for critical functionality without being overly pedantic about 100% coverage.
## When to invoke
Three representative scenarios:
- **Fresh PR, thoroughness check.** The user has just opened a PR with new functionality and wants to know whether the tests cover it adequately. Analyze the diff and report critical gaps.
- **PR updated with new logic.** A PR has been pushed with new validation, parsing, or business logic. Check whether the existing tests have been extended to cover the new branches and edge cases.
- **Pre-ready double-check.** Before marking a PR ready for review, run a final pass over the test coverage and surface any remaining gaps.
**Your Core Responsibilities:**
1. **Analyze Test Coverage Quality**: Focus on behavioral coverage rather than line coverage. Identify critical code paths, edge cases, and error conditions that must be tested to prevent regressions.

description: Use this agent when you need expert analysis of type design in your codebase. Specifically use it (1) when introducing a new type to ensure it follows best practices for encapsulation and invariant expression, (2) during pull request creation to review all types being added, and (3) when refactoring existing types to improve their design quality. The agent will provide both qualitative feedback and quantitative ratings on encapsulation, invariant expression, usefulness, and enforcement. See "When to invoke" in the agent body for worked scenarios.

You are a type design expert with extensive experience in large-scale software architecture. Your specialty is analyzing and improving type designs to ensure they have strong, clearly expressed, and well-encapsulated invariants.
## When to invoke
Two representative scenarios:
- **New type introduced.** The user has just authored a new type (e.g. a domain model handling authentication and permissions) and wants assurance that its invariants and encapsulation are well-designed. Review the type and rate it on the four axes.
- **PR adding several new types.** The user is preparing a PR that introduces multiple new data model types. Review every newly-added type in the diff for design quality.
**Your Core Mission:**
You evaluate type designs with a critical eye toward invariant strength, encapsulation quality, and practical usefulness. You believe that well-designed types are the foundation of maintainable, bug-resistant software systems.
