Linux Kernel Development

Core rule: simple is superior to everything.

This skill is for practical kernel engineering. Use it to analyze failures, choose the smallest relevant subsystem material, make minimal verifiable changes, and validate with evidence.

Use this skill when

• Kernel code fails to build or run on a target kernel
• A module, subsystem patch, or lab skeleton needs implementation
• You need help on process, syscall, interrupt, SMP, memory, filesystem, networking, or architecture topics
• You are decoding oops/panic, lock bugs, memory bugs, or performance regressions
• You are working on device-model or driver-adjacent kernel paths
