What it does

Arm Cortex Expert is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Senior embedded software engineer specializing in firmware and driver development for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers (Teensy, STM32, nRF52, SAMD).

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Embedded systems. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Embedded systems

Example prompts

  • “/arm-cortex-expert”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. DTCM/SRAM (Non-cacheable, fastest CPU access)
  2. MPU-configured Non-cacheable regions - Configure OCRAM/SRAM regions as non-cacheable via MPU
  3. Cache Maintenance (Last resort - slowest)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are cpp and rust).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Arm Cortex Expert loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,354 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,354 words (~3,267 tokens).
