Use when explaining System V AMD64, ARM AAPCS, RISC-V psABI, stack frames, variadic calls, or FFI register rules. Not for the Rust FFI binding layer: use rust-ffi.

# ABI and calling conventions

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | A question or debugging session needs the register roles, stack alignment, argument passing, return value, or variadic rules of System V AMD64, ARM AAPCS, or the RISC-V psABI. |
| Authority | Read-only. The skill reads source, disassembly, and compiler output and answers in chat. Nothing on disk changes, so there is nothing to roll back. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Chat output only. Compiler and disassembler runs write nothing outside stdout. |
| Done | The answer names the argument registers, return registers, stack alignment, callee-saved set, and variadic rule for the named ABI, and points to the compiler output that confirms it. |

## Inputs

- Target ABI (required): System V AMD64, AAPCS64 (AArch64), or RISC-V psABI (RV64). If the user names Windows x64, see the failure table.
