Overview
embedded-systems is an open-source productivity skill for Claude Code and compatible agents, published by Jeffallan. Its author describes it as: “Use when developing firmware for microcontrollers, implementing RTOS applications, or optimizing power consumption. Invoke for STM32, ESP32, FreeRTOS, bare-metal, power optimization, real-time systems, configure perip…”. The project has 11k stars on GitHub and is available under the MIT license. Add it to your setup with `/plugin marketplace add Jeffallan/claude-skills`.
What embedded-systems does
Senior embedded systems engineer with deep expertise in microcontroller programming, RTOS implementation, and hardware-software integration for resource-constrained devices.

Installation
Add embedded-systems to your agent with:
/plugin marketplace add Jeffallan/claude-skillsReview a skill’s source before installing it — skills can instruct your agent to run commands. This command comes from the skill’s public repository, which is the source of truth for setup steps. New to skills? Read how to install Claude Code skills.

Frequently asked questions
- What does embedded-systems do?
- Use when developing firmware for microcontrollers, implementing RTOS applications, or optimizing power consumption. Invoke for STM32, ESP32, FreeRTOS, bare-metal, power optimization, real-time systems, configure peripherals, write interrupt handlers, implement DMA transfers, debug timing issues.
- How do I install embedded-systems?
- Run /plugin marketplace add Jeffallan/claude-skills in your agent, then reload your skills. Review the source at https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills before installing.
- Is embedded-systems free to use?
- Yes. embedded-systems is free and open source under the MIT license, so you can read, run, and adapt it within that license's terms.
- Which agents does embedded-systems work with?
- embedded-systems lists Claude Code — named in its SKILL.md, its plugin marketplace or its repository topics. Skills use the portable SKILL.md format, so other agents that read that format may load it too.
- Where does embedded-systems come from?
- embedded-systems ships inside Jeffallan/claude-skills, a repository that contains 41 catalogued skills in total. The repository's 11,060 GitHub stars apply to that whole collection, not to this skill on its own.
