name	arduino-cli-skill
description	Use when users need arduino-cli commands for board discovery, library installation, compilation, upload, or serial port troubleshooting on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Arduino CLI Skill

Provide cross-platform arduino-cli workflows and command references.

Resources

• references/commands.md - board, core, library, compile, and upload commands
• references/serial-ports.md - OS-specific serial port discovery
• rules/common-pitfalls.md - common command mistakes and recovery guidance
• examples/README.md - runnable command sequences
• ../../docs/board-support/uno-r4-family.md - Uno R4 Minima and Uno R4 WiFi support notes

Workflow

1. Identify the user's platform and target board.
2. Open references/serial-ports.md if the task depends on port discovery.
3. Open references/commands.md for the exact command family you need.
4. Check rules/common-pitfalls.md before suggesting upload or compile fixes.
5. If the target is Uno R4 family and the problem touches WiFi, firmware bridge, or OTA-related setup, open ../../docs/board-support/uno-r4-family.md.
6. Prefer arduino-cli JSON output when the result will be parsed or reused.

Quick Start

arduino-cli board list
arduino-cli core list
arduino-cli compile --fqbn arduino:avr:uno path/to/sketch
arduino-cli upload -p /dev/ttyACM0 --fqbn arduino:avr:uno path/to/sketch

Verification

• Confirm the fqbn matches the target board.
• Confirm the selected serial port exists before upload.
• Prefer command output over remembered defaults when troubleshooting.

See references/commands.md and references/serial-ports.md for detailed examples.
