Embedded Code Review Expert

Overview

Perform structured review of embedded and firmware changes with emphasis on memory safety, interrupt correctness, RTOS usage, hardware interfaces, C/C++ pitfalls, and embedded security.

The preferred review strategy is cross-review by two independent subagents that inspect the same diff separately, then compare findings for consensus, gaps, and contradictions.

The purpose of running two subagents is to improve correctness, not speed. Cross-review exists to reduce false positives, reduce false negatives, and increase confidence that a reported issue is real before escalating it to the user.

The skill is intentionally host-agnostic:

• Do not hardcode Claude Code, Codex, ACP, or any vendor-specific runtime.
• Use the current environment's native parallel subagent mechanism when available.
• If the environment supports model selection, use two different high-capability models for the two subagents.
• If model selection is unavailable, still run two independent subagents with different review emphases.
• If parallel subagents are unavailable, fall back to a single-agent review and state that cross-review could not be run in this environment.

Target environments: bare-metal MCU, RTOS (FreeRTOS/Zephyr/ThreadX), Linux embedded, mixed C/C++ firmware.
