What it does

Can is an agent skill from zhinkgit/embeddedskills. 嵌入式 CAN / CAN-FD 调试工具,用于扫描接口、监控报文、发送测试帧、记录日志、数据库文件解码和总线统计。 当用户提到 CAN、CAN-FD、DBC 解码、总线抓包、USB-CAN 联调、报文发送、总线统计、 PCAN、Vector、slcan、CAN 接口扫描、CAN ID 过滤、ASC 日志、BLF 文件时自动触发, 也兼容 /can 显式调用。即使用户只是说"看看 CAN 报文"、"发一帧试试"或"解码一下 DBC", 只要上下文明确提到 CAN 总线通信的操作或问题就应触发此 skill。

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `config.example.json` and `references/common_interfaces.json`).

It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: An open-source collection of embedded development and debugging skills for Claude Code, Copilot, TRAE, and other AI coding assistants that support the Skill protocol. Once… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “看看 CAN 报文”
  • “解码一下 DBC”
  • “/can”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. CLI 参数 (--interface, --channel, --bitrate 等) - 最高优先级
  2. 工程级配置 (.embeddedskills/config.json 中的 can 部分)
  3. 状态文件 (.embeddedskills/state.json 中的历史记录)
  4. 默认值 - 最低优先级

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 536c1f9. 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

    Ships 7 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Can loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

CAN — 嵌入式 CAN / CAN-FD 调试工具

统一封装接口发现、实时监控、报文发送、日志记录、数据库文件解码和统计分析能力。

配置

环境级配置 (skill/config.json)

仅保留 slcan 相关的环境级配置:

json
{
  "slcan_serial_port": "",
  "slcan_serial_baudrate": 115200
}
字段说明默认值
slcan_serial_portslcan 场景的串口""
slcan_serial_baudrateslcan 场景的串口速率115200
工程级配置 (.embeddedskills/config.json)

工作区下的 .embeddedskills/config.json 存放工程级 CAN 配置:

json
{
  "can": {
    "interface": "",
    "channel": "",
    "bitrate": 500000,
    "data_bitrate": 2000000,
    "log_dir": ".embeddedskills/logs/can"
  }
}
字段说明默认值
interfaceCAN 后端,如 pcan / vector / slcan""
channel通道名,如 PCAN_USBBUS1""
bitrate仲裁域比特率500000
data_bitrateCAN-FD 数据域比特率2000000
log_dir日志输出目录.embeddedskills/logs/can
参数解析优先级
  1. CLI 参数 (--interface, --channel, --bitrate 等) - 最高优先级
  2. 工程级配置 (.embeddedskills/config.json 中的 can 部分)
  3. 状态文件 (.embeddedskills/state.json 中的历史记录)
  4. 默认值 - 最低优先级
自动扫描行为

当未指定 interface 和 channel 时,脚本会自动扫描系统 CAN 接口,按以下步骤处理:

  1. 扫描系统中所有可用 CAN 接口
  2. 若只找到一个接口 → 自动使用并写入工程配置
  3. 若找到多个接口 → 返回候选列表,等待用户选择
  4. 若未找到接口 → 提示错误,停止执行

子命令

子命令用途风险
scan扫描可用 CAN 接口与 USB-CAN 设备低
monitor实时监控总线报文低
send发送标准帧 / 扩展帧 / 远程帧 / CAN-FD 帧高
log记录总线报文到 ASC / BLF / CSV 文件低
decode用 DBC 等数据库文件解码报文或日志低
stats统计总线负载、ID 分布和帧率低

执行流程

  1. 检查 python-can 是否可用,未安装时提示 pip install python-can
  2. 按优先级解析参数:CLI > 工程级配置 > 状态文件 > 默认值
  3. 无子命令时默认执行 scan
  4. monitor / send / log / stats 使用解析后的连接参数
  5. decode 先确认数据库文件和输入源存在
  6. 若未指定 interface/channel,自动扫描系统 CAN 接口:
    • 唯一候选:自动使用并写入工程配置
    • 多候选:返回列表让用户选择
  7. 成功执行后,将确认的参数写回工程配置
  8. send 只要配置可连接就直接执行,不二次确认
  9. 运行对应脚本并输出结构化结果
  10. 失败时优先反馈接口、驱动、比特率和过滤条件问题

脚本调用

所有脚本位于 skill 目录的 scripts/ 下,通过 python 直接调用。 脚本会按优先级从 CLI 参数、工程级配置、状态文件中读取参数。

bash
# 扫描接口
python scripts/can_scan.py [--json]

# 实时监控
python scripts/can_monitor.py [--interface <接口>] [--channel <通道>] [--bitrate <速率>] [--fd] [--filter-id <ID列表>] [--exclude-id <ID列表>] [--dbc <DBC文件>] [--timeout <秒>] [--json]

# 发送报文
python scripts/can_send.py [--interface <接口>] [--channel <通道>] [--bitrate <速率>] <id> <data> [--extended] [--remote] [--fd] [--repeat <次>] [--interval <秒>] [--periodic <毫秒>] [--listen] [--json]

# 日志记录
python scripts/can_log.py [--interface <接口>] [--channel <通道>] [--bitrate <速率>] [--output <文件>] [--duration <秒>] [--max-count <数量>] [--filter-id <ID列表>] [--console] [--json]

# 数据库解码
python scripts/can_decode.py <db_file> [--db-format <auto|dbc|arxml|kcd|sym|cdd>] [--id <CAN_ID>] [--data <HEX数据>] [--log <日志文件>] [--signal <信号名>] [--list] [--json]

# 总线统计
python scripts/can_stats.py [--interface <接口>] [--channel <通道>] [--bitrate <速率>] [--duration <秒>] [--top <数量>] [--watch <ID列表>] [--json]

输出格式

单次命令返回标准 JSON:

json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "action": "scan",
  "summary": "发现 2 个 CAN 接口",
  "details": { ... }
}

持续命令(monitor --json、send --listen --json)输出 JSON Lines,结束摘要写入 stderr。

错误输出:

json
{
  "status": "error",
  "action": "send",
  "error": { "code": "interface_open_failed", "message": "无法打开指定 CAN 接口" }
}

核心规则

  • 不自动猜测 interface、channel、bitrate,多接口时不自动选择
  • 参数解析优先级:CLI > 工程级配置 > 状态文件 > 默认值;自动扫描结果仅在未提供 CLI 参数时生效
  • 未指定 interface/channel 时自动扫描,唯一候选自动写入配置,多候选需用户选择
  • 成功执行后,确认的参数自动写回 .embeddedskills/config.json
  • 未明确说明用途时不主动发送任何报文
  • --json 输出的持续流使用 JSON Lines,摘要写 stderr 不污染数据流
  • DBC 解码失败不应导致监控中断
  • 找不到帧定义时返回明确错误,不静默吞掉

How do I install Can in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add zhinkgit/embeddedskills --skill can -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (can in zhinkgit/embeddedskills) into .claude/skills/can in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Can in Codex?

Run `npx skills add zhinkgit/embeddedskills --skill can -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (can in zhinkgit/embeddedskills) into .agents/skills/can in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Can in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add zhinkgit/embeddedskills --skill can -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/can, .gemini/skills/can, .github/skills/can and .opencode/skills/can in your project.

What does Can need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Can needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python and pip). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Can access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Can safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Can use?

Can is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Can use?

About 1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 418 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Can?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Can: MCP Server Builder (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), PDF Processing (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), NotebookLM Research Assistant (PleasePrompto/notebooklm-skill, 7.8k stars) and Manim Video Production (browser-use/video-use, 28k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Can?

zhinkgit (a GitHub user) maintains it in zhinkgit/embeddedskills, which has 733 GitHub stars. The repository holds 11 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on September 3, 2026.

Source: zhinkgit/embeddedskills on GitHub. Facts on this page come from the repository at the commit we read; the author's words are quoted as theirs.
