Problem

The arduino skill said nothing about formatting. Adafruit_TinyUSB_Arduino and Adafruit SPIFlash format their own C/C++ with the clang-format v15 pre-commit hook. They have no .clang-format, so the hook applies LLVM style. A clang-format from PATH, a .clang-format in a parent directory (tinyusb's, which v15 cannot parse, or arduino-esp32's), or reformatting the vendored TinyUSB with the library's style all produce code that differs from what CI's hook accepts.

Solution

Add a Code format section: run the library's hook through pre-commit run --files, never add or copy a .clang-format, format only in a checkout with no .clang-format above it, and fix vendored TinyUSB upstream under tinyusb's own style. The description now also triggers on C/C++ changes to these libraries, and step 5 of "Adding a library" adds the hook.

Evidence: in fresh clones, the hook passes on both libraries; its --dump-config on a library file matches --style=LLVM. Nested under tinyusb's .clang-format, the hook fails with Error reading .../.clang-format: Invalid argument. Build contract: 4374 passed, 127 skipped.

Walkthrough

The Arduino skill now routes C/C++ formatting questions to shared Arduino contract mechanics. It adds guidance for the libraries’ clang-format v15 pre-commit hook, formatting outside library trees, and TinyUSB’s separate formatting workflow. The library-adoption instructions now refer to the Code format section.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "arduino: state the libraries' clang-format rules" matches the main change. The PR adds a Code format section to the arduino skill that states the clang-format v15 pre-commit hook, the LLVM fallback style, and checkout placement rules. The title is specific and short, so it passes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem (the arduino skill had no formatting guidance and the libraries use a clang-format v15 pre-commit hook with LLVM style), the solution (a new Code format section, description trigger changes, and a new step 5 in "Adding a library"), and supporting evidence (fresh-clone hook results, a nested .clang-format failure, and build results). It relates directly to the changeset, so it passes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.
