Can I use this for MQTT-based communication?

Absolutely, it includes optimized code patterns for asynchronous MQTT clients using rumqttc and structured topic-based Pub/Sub architectures.

Does it support microcontrollers without an operating system?

Yes, the skill provides specific guidance for no_std environments using crates like Embassy and embedded-hal for bare-metal MCU development.

How does this skill handle offline IoT scenarios?

It implements 'Store & Forward' patterns using local queues and retry logic with backoff to ensure telemetry data is preserved during network failures.

What security practices does it emphasize for IoT?

The skill focuses on encrypted communication via TLS, message signing to prevent tampering, and secure firmware upgrade paths with rollback support.

API Development

Simplifies building resilient IoT applications by providing Rust-specific patterns for sensor integration, power management, and reliable messaging.

About

The domain-iot skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge for architecting Internet of Things systems using Rust. It addresses critical domain constraints such as network unreliability, power limitations, and security risks by suggesting specific design patterns like offline-first buffering, sleep-mode optimization, and TLS-encrypted communication. Whether you are developing for Linux-based gateways using Tokio or resource-constrained microcontrollers with Embassy and no_std, this skill provides the necessary crates, code patterns, and common mistake preventions to ensure production-grade IoT reliability.

Key Features

Dual-environment support for both Linux gateways (std) and MCU devices (no_std).
Power management strategies for battery-operated devices using sleep modes and minimal allocations.
Resilient network patterns including local buffering and exponential backoff for offline-first design.
Secure communication guidance utilizing TLS and signed firmware for safe OTA updates.
Standardized IoT messaging patterns for MQTT Pub/Sub and local edge computing.
596 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Developing a smart home gateway that persists telemetry data during intermittent Wi-Fi outages.
Architecting a secure Over-the-Air (OTA) update system for industrial hardware with rollback capabilities.
Building a battery-powered sensor node using no_std Rust and Embassy for maximum energy efficiency.
