Individual skill
kernel-services
Advanced Zephyr RTOS kernel services. Covers inter-thread communication using Zbus (pub/sub), behavioral management with the State Machine Framework (SMF), background processing via work queues, and persistent configuration with the Settings subsystem. Trigger when building modular application architectures, complex state-driven logic, or requiring persistent data storage.

# Zephyr Kernel Services
Move beyond basic threading and logging to build modular, event-driven, and robust Zephyr applications.
## Core Workflows
### 1. Event-Driven Communication (Zbus)
Decouple your modules using a lightweight publish-and-subscribe bus.
- **Reference**: **[zbus.md](references/zbus.md)**
- **Key Tools**: `ZBUS_CHAN_DEFINE`, `ZBUS_SUBSCRIBER_DEFINE`, `zbus_chan_pub`.
### 2. Behavioral Logic (SMF)
Manage complex system states and transitions using the State Machine Framework.
- **Reference**: **[smf.md](references/smf.md)**
