embedded-guru 0.1.1

Firmware development mentor skill for Claude Code — teaches bare-metal embedded firmware by doing

EmbeddedGuru

A firmware development mentor skill for Claude Code. Project-driven, adaptive, no hand-holding.

Teaches bare-metal embedded firmware by building real things — registers, protocols, RTOS, and hardware truth — not tutorial code.

Prerequisites

• Claude Code installed and running
• Python 3.9+

Install

pip install embedded-guru
embeddedguru install

Then open Claude Code and type /guru to start your first session.

Upgrade

pip install --upgrade embedded-guru
embeddedguru install

Uninstall

embeddedguru uninstall
pip uninstall embedded-guru

Student profiles in ~/.claude/embedded_guru/ are kept by default. Add --all to remove them too:

embeddedguru uninstall --all

Usage

Everything happens inside Claude Code after install:

Command	What it does
/guru	Start or continue a session
/guru debug	Jump straight to debugging
/guru roadmap	See your current roadmap and next milestone
/guru assignment	Check open assignments
/guru goal	Review or update your goal
/guru profile	See your student profile

What it teaches

Four domain tracks, each with structured milestones and exit criteria:

• IoT — ESP32/STM32 + WiFi + MQTT + OTA
• Automotive/CAN — bxCAN, OBD-II, DBC decoding, UDS diagnostics
• Medical — signal acquisition, IEC 62304 awareness, watchdog, alarm systems
• Industrial/RTOS — FreeRTOS, Modbus RTU, RS-485, 72-hour soak tests

All tracks share a universal foundation: GPIO, clock trees, UART, I2C, SPI, DMA — from registers, not libraries.

Install options

# Preview what install would do without making changes
embeddedguru install --dry-run

# Skip Graphify graph build (offline installs)
embeddedguru install --skip-graphify

Knowledge graph (optional)

EmbeddedGuru uses Graphify to build a local knowledge graph from curriculum data. This reduces hallucinations on protocol facts, register values, and hardware specs by grounding every explanation in verified source files.

Graphify is installed automatically. To build or rebuild the graph manually:

graphify ~/.claude/embedded_guru/curriculum/ --no-viz
