M5Stack Onboarding

This skill automates the full cold-start workflow for an M5Stack ESP32 device: detect on USB, identify model, flash UIFlow 2.0, and push a MicroPython app bundle onto /flash/ so the device boots into user software. The apps we ship (Claude Buddy, Snake, Hello) talk over BLE or USB. The workflow runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows; the skill was developed against an M5Stack Basic v2.6 (CH9102 bridge, ESP32-D0WDQ6-V3, 16 MB flash) and generalized to cover the rest of the Core family, with the Cardputer-Adv (ESP32-S3, native USB) as the current default target.

Where the scripts live

This skill ships as part of the cwc-makers plugin for reference, but the executable scripts and the buddy/ app bundle live in a local clone of https://github.com/moremas/build-with-claude (the /maker-setup command creates this clone). Run every scripts/*.py invocation below from inside that clone's onboard/ directory so --apps buddy resolves to the sibling buddy/device/ payload.

When to use

Use this when a user plugs in an M5Stack device and wants it provisioned. The decision tree:

• Fresh/unknown device → run onboard.py --apps buddy end-to-end (detect …
