Bare-metal SPI and I2C skill for serial peripheral buses. An agent skill from mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills.

  • Works in 4 steps: SPI master (STM32) → I2C master — register read → Common protocols → …
  • Implementing master-mode transfers
  • 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

Spi I2c Baremetal is an agent skill from mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills. Bare-metal SPI and I2C skill for serial peripheral buses. Use when implementing master-mode transfers, register read/write protocols, or debugging bus stalls. Activates on queries about SPI bare-metal, I2C START/STOP, sensor register read, or clock phase/polarity.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 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. 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

  • Implementing master-mode transfers
  • Register read/write protocols
  • Debugging bus stalls

Example prompts

  • “/spi-i2c-baremetal”

Workflow steps

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

  1. SPI master (STM32)
  2. I2C master — register read
  3. Common protocols
  4. 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).

    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

Spi I2c Baremetal loads about 681 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 161 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~681

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
Bare-metal SPI and I2C skill for serial peripheral buses. Use when implementing master-mode transfers, register read/write protocols, or debugging bus stalls. Activates on queries about SPI bare-metal, I2C START/STOP, sensor register read, or clock phase/polarity.

SPI and I2C (Bare-Metal)

Purpose

Implement SPI and I2C master drivers for sensor and memory chips: clock configuration, phase/polarity (SPI), START/ACK sequences (I2C), and common register-oriented transaction patterns.

When to Use

  • Reading an I2C sensor (WHO_AM_I register)
  • SPI flash or display bring-up
  • Debugging NACK or stuck SCL
  • Replacing HAL_I2C/SPI with minimal code

Workflow

1. SPI master (STM32)
c
/* Mode 0: CPOL=0, CPHA=0 — check slave datasheet */
SPI1->CR1 = SPI_CR1_MSTR | SPI_CR1_SSM | SPI_CR1_SSI
          | (3 << SPI_CR1_BR_Pos);  /* baud divider */
SPI1->CR1 |= SPI_CR1_SPE;

uint8_t spi_xfer(SPI_TypeDef *spi, uint8_t tx) {
    while (!(spi->SR & SPI_SR_TXE))
        ;
    *(volatile uint8_t *)&spi->DR = tx;
    while (!(spi->SR & SPI_SR_RXNE))
        ;
    return *(volatile uint8_t *)&spi->DR;
}

CS (GPIO bit-bang):

c
GPIO_CS_LOW();
spi_xfer(SPI1, reg | 0x80);  /* read */
uint8_t val = spi_xfer(SPI1, 0xFF);
GPIO_CS_HIGH();
2. I2C master — register read
c
/* START → addr+W → reg → repeated START → addr+R → data → STOP */
bool i2c_read_reg(I2C_TypeDef *i2c, uint8_t dev7, uint8_t reg, uint8_t *out) {
    if (!i2c_start(i2c)) return false;
    if (!i2c_tx(i2c, (dev7 << 1) | 0)) return false;
    if (!i2c_tx(i2c, reg)) return false;
    if (!i2c_restart(i2c)) return false;
    if (!i2c_tx(i2c, (dev7 << 1) | 1)) return false;
    *out = i2c_rx(i2c, false);  /* NACK last byte */
    i2c_stop(i2c);
    return true;
}

Poll SB, ADDR, TXE, RXNE, BTF per reference manual.

3. Common protocols
PatternBus
reg + write dataI2C/SPI
`0x80reg` read (MSB set)
16-bit big-endian length prefixSPI flash
4. Agent usage
/spi-i2c-baremetal I2C read of register 0x0F from device 0x68
