Start a task
- Open the repository and select the hardware you are working with.
- Run
/initto document the project’s build, test, and hardware workflows inEMBEDDER.md. - Describe the change or problem, including the expected behavior.
- Choose a mode and review the proposed actions.
- Check the diff and the build, test, or hardware evidence before accepting the result.
Development workflows
Build, test, flash, observe, and debug a firmware change.
Agent modes
Use Act to implement, Plan to review an approach, and Debug to investigate target state.
Approvals
Choose which actions need your confirmation.
Sessions
Continue a conversation, queue follow-up work, or return to an earlier change.
Give Embedder useful context
The hardware catalog connects your platform and peripherals to relevant documentation and skills. Project instructions describe how to work in your repository, and schematics explain the board’s connections.Project instructions
Record build commands, board constraints, and verification steps in EMBEDDER.md.
Peripherals
Add the parts and datasheets used by your project.
Schematics
Ask questions about components, nets, and board connections.
Skills
Reuse instructions for board setup, debugging, and project workflows.
Continue larger projects
- Use project memory for confirmed facts you want to reuse in later sessions.
- Ask for subagents when independent parts of a task can proceed in parallel.
- Set a goal or bounded loop when work needs repeated attempts or checks.
- Follow best practices to make requests specific and results easy to verify.
