bootloaders-embedded SKILL.md skillA
bootloaders-embedded from outlinedriven/outline-driven-development is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when writing a custom bootloader, jumping to application code, relocating VTOR, or implementing DFU/USB firmware update on Cortex-M. Not for reset-to-main: use baremetal-startup.
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
# Embedded bootloaders ## Contract | Field | Bound contract | |---|---| | Trigger | An application must run at a non-zero flash offset, a bootloader must validate and jump to it, a firmware update path (UART, USB DFU, custom protocol) is being written, or an application works when flashed alone but fails when launched by the bootloader. | | Authority | Read-only: emits the flash layout, validation checks, handoff sequence, and update-safety rules to chat; the user places them in the project. Rollback is not needed because no file is written. No remote mutation. | | Side effect | Chat output only. | | Done | The flash partition table, the application validity check, the ordered handoff sequence, and the update commit rule are stated for the target part, and the application-side `VTOR` and linker changes are named. | ## Inputs - Target part and its flash map: base address, sector or page sizes, and whether it has two banks. - Bootloader size budget and the chosen application base address. - Update transport (UART, USB DFU, external flash, none). - Where the update request flag lives (RTC backup register, GPIO strap, magic word in RAM). …

How to install
mdr add outlinedriven/outline-driven-development/bootloaders-embedded@sha256:f471c81ed01662a2The 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.
