device-tree SKILL.md skillA
device-tree from outlinedriven/outline-driven-development is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add outlinedriven/outline-driven-development/device-tree@git:20260905.fd53e99Pins git:20260905.fd53e99 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when writing DTS/DTSI, bindings, overlays, phandles, or debugging OF platform probe failures. Not for probe and remove code: use platform-device-model.
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
# Device tree
## Contract
| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Writing or debugging Linux devicetree source: DTS/DTSI structure, bindings, phandles, overlays, `compatible` and property layout, or a driver whose OF probe never fires. |
| Authority | Read-only. Writes nothing. Chat output only. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Returns DTS fragments, property tables, and debug commands. No source files are modified. |
| Done | The node or fragment, the property set with cells explained, and a probe-failure diagnosis are delivered. |
## Inputs
1. Hardware fact to describe (required): the block or device, its MMIO base, IRQ, clocks, and the bus it sits on.
2. Board context (optional): the SoC `.dtsi` to include and the board `.dts` to extend.
3. Failure report (optional): the symptom, such as a driver that never probes or an IRQ that never fires.
## Procedure
1. Lay out the node under its bus parent. A board file includes the SoC `.dtsi` and extends or references its nodes by label.
```dts
/dts-v1/;
#include "soc.dtsi"
/ {
model = "My Board";
compatible = "vendor,my-board", "vendor,soc-family";
&uart0 {

How to install
mdr add outlinedriven/outline-driven-development/device-tree@sha256:8f0482604bb73408The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.fd53e99, 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.
