## What it does

The skill covers TI MSPM0 projects built on SysConfig and DriverLib, whether the toolchain is CCS, Keil/uVision, or CMake with the Arm GNU Toolchain and OpenOCD. The agent first locates `.syscfg` or `system.syscfg`, the project entrypoint, and the generated `ti_msp_dl_config.h`, then reads the config metadata: device, package, SDK product, modules, pins, clocks, interrupts.

Edits stay small. The agent changes the relevant `.syscfg` and runs `python scripts/run_sysconfig.py <project-dir>` before rebuilding. Macro names and the init function spelling come from `ti_msp_dl_config.h`, never from guesswork. Generated outputs such as `Debug/ti_msp_dl_config.c`, `device_linker.cmd`, `Objects/` and `.out` files are off limits.

Project checks run through `python scripts/check_syscfg.py <project-dir>`, and flashing starts with `python scripts/detect_probe.py` before any backend is chosen. An empty probe-detector result counts as inconclusive, not as proof the probe is missing. Ask only to flash, and the agent will not assume J-Link or XDS110. On the LCKFB Tianmengxing MSPM0G3507 board the skill warns that repurposing PA10/PA11 can cut the board's default UART.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mc3545dada/mspm0-skill --skill mspm0-ccs -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/mspm0-ccs/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/mspm0-ccs/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mc3545dada/mspm0-skill --skill mspm0-ccs -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/mspm0-ccs/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mc3545dada/mspm0-skill --skill mspm0-ccs -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/mspm0-ccs/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install mc3545dada/mspm0-skill mspm0-ccs
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/mspm0-ccs/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mc3545dada/mspm0-skill --skill mspm0-ccs -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/mc3545dada/mspm0-skill --path skills/mspm0-ccs
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/mspm0-ccs/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mc3545dada/mspm0-skill --skill mspm0-ccs -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/mc3545dada/mspm0-skill/tree/HEAD/skills/mspm0-ccs/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- edit `.syscfg` without touching generated outputs
- find the project entrypoint in CCS, Keil or CMake
- match macro names and the init function to `ti_msp_dl_config.h`
- detect the connected probe before flashing
- set up peripherals and pins without inventing SysConfig fields

## Example prompts
- inspect the MSPM0 project in this folder and list the modules enabled in `.syscfg`
- add UART1 to `.syscfg` and update the code, leave generated files alone
- check which debug probe is connected before flashing

description: Tool-neutral CLI agent rules for TI MSPM0 development with Code Composer Studio, Keil/uVision, CMake/GCC/OpenOCD, SysConfig, and DriverLib. Use when an agent needs to inspect or modify MSPM0 projects, edit .syscfg configuration, avoid generated SysConfig/build files, use DriverLib APIs, validate SysConfig output, package reusable MSPM0 examples, or work on NUEDC-style MSPM0 embedded firmware.

# MSPM0 Agent Skill

Use this skill for TI MSPM0 firmware projects that use SysConfig and DriverLib through CCS / CCS Theia, Keil/uVision, or CMake + Arm GNU Toolchain + OpenOCD workflows. It is intended for Claude Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Continue, Cursor, Codex, and similar CLI/editor agents.

## Default Workflow

1. Locate the project `.syscfg` or `system.syscfg`, editable source files, generated `ti_msp_dl_config.h`, and the active project entrypoint: `targetConfigs/*.ccxml` for CCS, `*.uvprojx` plus scatter file for Keil/uVision, or `CMakeLists.txt` plus OpenOCD `.cfg` files for CMake/GCC/OpenOCD.
2. Run `python scripts/check_syscfg.py <project-dir>` when this skill is available.
3. Read `.syscfg` metadata: device, package, SDK product, SysConfig version, modules, instances, pins, clocks, and interrupts.
4. Inspect generated `ti_msp_dl_config.h` for macro names, IRQ names, instance names, and the exact SysConfig init function spelling.
5. Before adding unfamiliar SysConfig fields, inspect the user's existing `.syscfg`, `examples/*/manifest.json`, TI SDK examples, or `source/ti/driverlib/.meta/*.syscfg.js`.
6. Modify the smallest relevant `.syscfg` and application-code surface.
7. By default, make the smallest evidence-based `.syscfg` edit and run `python scripts/run_sysconfig.py <project-dir>` before rebuilding. Use CCS SysConfig MCP only when the user explicitly requests it or the current session already exposes a confirmed SysConfig MCP tool.
8. If flashing or debugging, run `python scripts/detect_probe.py` or `python scripts/check_syscfg.py <project-dir> --probe` before selecting a backend. Confirm the configured probe matches the connected hardware and prefer a System Reset after programming.

## Core Rules

- Treat `.syscfg` as the source of truth for pinmux, peripheral setup, clocks, interrupts, DMA ownership, and generated initialization.
- Prefer SysConfig + DriverLib for GPIO, UART, PWM, Timer, ADC, I2C, SPI, DMA, and clock setup.
