I2C and SPI bus driver skill for Linux client drivers. An agent skill from mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills.

  • Works in 6 steps: I2C client driver → Raw I2C transfer → SPI driver → …
  • Writing i2cdriver
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, When to Use, Workflow and Common Problems, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Bus Drivers I2c Spi is an agent skill from mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills. I2C and SPI bus driver skill for Linux client drivers. Use when writing i2cdriver or spidriver, register access over bus, DMA SPI transfers, or ACPI/DT client binding. Activates on queries about i2cclient, spidriver, regmap I2C, SPI transfer, or Linux I2C SPI subsystem.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Linux. The repository describes itself as: A curated suite of AI agent skills for systems and low-level programming with C/C++, Rust, and Zig toolchains, covering compilers, debuggers, profilers, build systems…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing i2cdriver
  • Register access over bus
  • DMA SPI transfers
  • ACPI/DT client binding

Example prompts

  • “/bus-drivers-i2c-spi”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. I2C client driver
  2. Raw I2C transfer
  3. SPI driver
  4. regmap (preferred for register maps)
  5. Debug
  6. Agent usage

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bdc5847. 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 c, dts and bash).

    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

Bus Drivers I2c Spi loads about 960 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 158 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~960

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.

description
I2C and SPI bus driver skill for Linux client drivers. Use when writing i2c_driver or spi_driver, register access over bus, DMA SPI transfers, or ACPI/DT client binding. Activates on queries about i2c_client, spi_driver, regmap I2C, SPI transfer, or Linux I2C SPI subsystem.

Bus Drivers (I2C and SPI)

Purpose

Guide agents through Linux I2C and SPI client drivers: bus registration, i2c_transfer / spi_sync, regmap abstraction, DT compatible on bus children, and probe patterns — complementing platform MMIO drivers in skills/kernel/device-drivers.

When to Use

  • Sensor or PMIC on I2C/SPI bus
  • Converting bare-metal SPI register reads to kernel driver
  • Using regmap for multi-byte register access
  • Debugging -EREMOTEIO or missing ACK

Workflow

1. I2C client driver
c
#include <linux/i2c.h>
#include <linux/mod_devicetable.h>

static int my_probe(struct i2c_client *client)
{
    struct regmap *map;

    map = devm_regmap_init_i2c(client, &my_regmap_config);
    if (IS_ERR(map))
        return PTR_ERR(map);

    dev_info(&client->dev, "probed at 0x%02x\n", client->addr);
    return 0;
}

static const struct of_device_id my_of_id[] = {
    { .compatible = "vendor,sensor" },
    { }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, my_of_id);

static const struct i2c_device_id my_id[] = {
    { "mysensor", 0 },
    { }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, my_id);

static struct i2c_driver my_driver = {
    .probe    = my_probe,
    .remove   = my_remove,
    .driver   = { .name = "mysensor", .of_match_table = my_of_id },
    .id_table = my_id,
};
module_i2c_driver(my_driver);

DT child:

dts
i2c1 {
    sensor@48 {
        compatible = "vendor,sensor";
        reg = <0x48>;
    };
};
2. Raw I2C transfer
c
u8 reg = 0x0F, val;
struct i2c_msg msgs[] = {
    { .addr = client->addr, .flags = 0,       .len = 1, .buf = &reg },
    { .addr = client->addr, .flags = I2C_M_RD, .len = 1, .buf = &val },
};
ret = i2c_transfer(client->adapter, msgs, 2);
3. SPI driver
c
static int spi_probe(struct spi_device *spi)
{
    spi->mode = SPI_MODE_0;
    spi->bits_per_word = 8;
    spi_setup(spi);

    struct spi_transfer t = {
        .tx_buf = tx,
        .rx_buf = rx,
        .len    = len,
    };
    struct spi_message m;
    spi_message_init(&m);
    spi_message_add_tail(&t, &m);
    return spi_sync(spi, &m);
}

static struct spi_driver spi_drv = {
    .probe  = spi_probe,
    .driver = { .name = "my-spi", .of_match_table = my_of_match },
};
module_spi_driver(spi_drv);
4. regmap (preferred for register maps)
c
static const struct regmap_config my_regmap_config = {
    .reg_bits   = 8,
    .val_bits   = 8,
    .max_register = 0x7F,
};

regmap_read(map, REG_STATUS, &val);
regmap_write(map, REG_CTRL, CTRL_ENABLE);
regmap_update_bits(map, REG_CTRL, MASK, ENABLE);
5. Debug
bash
i2cdetect -y 1
i2cdump -y 1 0x48
cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/1-0048/name
6. Agent usage
/bus-drivers-i2c-spi Write regmap-based driver for I2C PMIC at 0x58
