# Arduino CLI Skill

Provide cross-platform `arduino-cli` workflows and command references.

## Resources

- `references/commands.md` - board, core, library, compile, and upload commands
- `references/serial-ports.md` - OS-specific serial port discovery
- `rules/common-pitfalls.md` - common command mistakes and recovery guidance
- `examples/README.md` - runnable command sequences
- `../../docs/board-support/uno-r4-family.md` - Uno R4 Minima and Uno R4 WiFi support notes

## Workflow

1. Identify the user's platform and target board.
2. Open `references/serial-ports.md` if the task depends on port discovery.
3. Open `references/commands.md` for the exact command family you need.
4. Check `rules/common-pitfalls.md` before suggesting upload or compile fixes.
5. If the target is Uno R4 family and the problem touches WiFi, firmware bridge,
   or OTA-related setup, open `../../docs/board-support/uno-r4-family.md`.
6. Prefer `arduino-cli` JSON output when the result will be parsed or reused.

## Quick Start

```bash
arduino-cli board list
arduino-cli core list
arduino-cli compile --fqbn arduino:avr:uno path/to/sketch
arduino-cli upload -p /dev/ttyACM0 --fqbn arduino:avr:uno path/to/sketch
```

## Verification

- Confirm the `fqbn` matches the target board.
- Confirm the selected serial port exists before upload.
- Prefer command output over remembered defaults when troubleshooting.

See `references/commands.md` and `references/serial-ports.md` for detailed examples.
