What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Safely overrides, modifies, or upgrades existing Yocto recipes using custom layers. Triggers when an agent needs to change the configuration of a community recipe, update a package version without editing the original .bb file, or create a .bbappend file. Do not use this skill to find recipes or to debug build errors.

Yocto Recipe Overrider

This skill explains how to safely override and modify existing recipes from community layers (like meta-openembedded or poky) without modifying the original files directly.

Available Workflows

Detailed workflows for different scenarios are available in the references/ directory. Read the appropriate reference file based on your goal:

  • You need to modify the configuration or patch an existing recipe: Read references/using-bbappend.md (Explains how to use .bbappend files).

  • You need to completely replace a recipe or upgrade its version: Read references/version-upgrades.md (Explains how to create a replacement .bb file in your custom layer).

Out of Scope

This skill is strictly for modifying or overriding existing recipes.

  • To locate the recipe you want to override, use the yocto-recipe-locator skill.
  • To debug dependencies or build errors, consult the bitbake-debugger skill.
