safety-critical-patterns SKILL.md skillA

safety-critical-patterns from hermeticormus/libreembed-claude-code is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add hermeticormus/libreembed-claude-code/safety-critical-patterns@git:20260930.ba05790

Pins git:20260930.ba05790 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Safety-critical C patterns: MISRA-compliant fixed-width types, single-exit functions (Rule 15.5), suppression comments, a March-C RAM test, and CRC protection of critical data. Use when writing or reviewing firmware under a functional safety standard.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# safety-critical-patterns

## Knowledge Base

MISRA C compliance and safety-critical firmware patterns.

---

## Pattern 1: MISRA C Compliant Type Annotations

MISRA mandates explicit types. Use `<stdint.h>` types throughout.

```c
/* Non-compliant (implicit types): */
int i;
unsigned char flags;

/* MISRA compliant: */
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

int32_t  i;
uint8_t  flags;
bool     enable;

/* Rule 7.1: Octal constants */
/* VIOLATION: */
uint8_t val = 010;   /* Octal 8, not decimal 10 */
/* COMPLIANT: */
uint8_t val = 0x08U;

/* Rule 7.2: Unsigned constants must have U suffix */
/* VIOLATION: */
uint32_t x = 100;
/* COMPLIANT: */
uint32_t x = 100U;
```

---

## Pattern 2: Single-Exit Function Pattern (Rule 15.5)

MISRA 15.5: a function shall have a single point of exit.

```c
/* NON-COMPLIANT: multiple returns */
int32_t process(uint8_t *buf, uint32_t len)
{
    if (buf == NULL) { return -1; }
    if (len == 0U)   { return -2; }
    /* process */
    return 0;
}

/* COMPLIANT: single exit */
int32_t process(uint8_t *buf, uint32_t len)
{
    int32_t result = 0;

    if (buf == NULL) {
        result = -1;
    } else if (len == 0U) {
        result = -2;
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hermeticormus/libreembed-claude-code/safety-critical-patterns@sha256:c383a56a0b937fb1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.ba05790, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
