Individual skill
robotics-design-patterns
Architecture patterns, design principles, and proven recipes for building robust robotics software. Use this skill when designing robot software architectures, choosing between behavioral frameworks, structuring perception-planning-control pipelines, implementing state machines, designing safety systems, or architecting multi-robot systems. Trigger whenever the user mentions behavior trees, finite state machines, subsumption architecture, sensor fusion, robot safety, watchdogs, heartbeats, graceful degradation, hardware abstraction layers, real-time constraints, or software architecture for robots. Also applies to sim-to-real transfer, digital twins, and robot fleet management.

# Robotics Design Patterns
## When to Use This Skill
- Designing robot software architecture from scratch
- Choosing between behavior trees, FSMs, or hybrid approaches
- Structuring perception → planning → control pipelines
- Implementing safety systems and watchdogs
- Building hardware abstraction layers (HAL)
- Designing for sim-to-real transfer
- Architecting multi-robot / fleet systems
- Making real-time vs. non-real-time tradeoffs
