What problem does it solve?

Robotics development with ROS 2 can be complex, leading to inconsistent code, difficult debugging, and non-scalable architectures. This skill standardizes ROS 2 node design, ensuring best practices are followed for reliable and maintainable robotics software.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Generate Valid ROS 2 Code: Produce Python code examples that adhere to ROS 2 best practices and Python style guidelines.
• Explain Node Architecture: Clarify complex ROS 2 node patterns, topic naming conventions, and message handling for educational purposes.
• Systematic Debugging: Provide structured approaches to diagnose and resolve common ROS 2 node issues, such as topic mismatches or callback failures.
• Use Case: A robotics student is building a new sensor processing node. This skill can guide them to design the node with correct publisher/subscriber patterns, appropriate message types, and robust error handling, ensuring their code is production-ready and easy to debug.

Quick Start

Using the ros2-node-patterns skill, generate a minimal ROS 2 Python publisher node that sends "Hello World" messages on the topic /my_robot/status.
