Best practices, design patterns, and common pitfalls for ROS1 (Robot Operating System 1) development. Use this skill when building ROS1 nodes, packages, launch files, or debugging ROS1 systems. Trigger whenever the user mentions ROS1, catkin, rospy, roscpp, roslaunch, roscore, rostopic, tf, actionlib, message types, services, or any ROS1-era robotics middleware. Also trigger for migrating ROS1 code to ROS2, maintaining legacy ROS1 systems, or building ROS1-ROS2 bridges. Covers catkin workspaces, nodelets, dynamic reconfigure, pluginlib, and the full ROS1 ecosystem.

# ROS1 Development Skill

## When to Use This Skill
- Building or maintaining ROS1 packages and nodes
- Writing launch files, message types, or services

- Configuring catkin workspaces and build systems
- Working with tf/tf2 transforms, URDF, or robot models
- Using actionlib for long-running tasks
- Optimizing nodelets for zero-copy transport
- Planning ROS1 → ROS2 migration
