Individual skill
zephyr-foundations
Foundational skills for Zephyr RTOS development. Covers essential Embedded C patterns (BIT, CONTAINER_OF), real-time concurrency primitives (mutexes, semaphores, spinlocks), hardware literacy (datasheet-to-DTS mapping), and defensive programming. Trigger when writing core application logic, drivers, or troubleshooting foundational behavior.

# Zephyr Foundations
Mastering the bedrock of Zephyr is essential for writing efficient, robust, and idiomatic code.
## Core Workflows
### 1. Idiomatic C Patterns
Zephyr uses specific macros to manage memory and hardware-software mapping.
- **Reference**: **[zephyr_macros.md](references/zephyr_macros.md)**
- **Key Tools**: `CONTAINER_OF`, `BIT()`, `GENMASK()`, `ARRAY_SIZE`.
### 2. Real-Time Concurrency
Safe multi-threading and interrupt handling are critical for stability.
- **Reference**: **[concurrency.md](references/concurrency.md)**
