Yocto doc router
Release-aware official documentation routing for Yocto Project, OpenEmbedded, and BitBake questions. Use when the user asks where to find current Yocto docs, when a Yocto answer may depend on release/branch, or before giving precise guidance about variables, classes, tasks, QA errors, migration, BSP, kernel, SDK, security, SBOM, CVE, or build setup.From its SKILL.md

Yocto Doc Router
Use this skill to route Yocto and BitBake questions to the correct official documentation before answering. Yocto is release-sensitive; do not rely on generic memory when syntax, variables, classes, host support, or QA behavior may differ by branch.
Workflow
- Identify the release or branch: inspect
LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_*,conf/layer.conf, Poky/OE-Core branch names, build output, or vendor layer documentation. - If the release is unknown, state the assumption and prefer current official docs.
- Read references/official-doc-map.md to route by problem type.
- For release changes, read references/migration.md.
- Return the smallest useful doc path, the reason it matters, and the evidence needed from the user's tree.
Routing Rules
- New build setup: Quick Build, Development Tasks Manual, source directory structure, supported host distro.
- Syntax and overrides: BitBake User Manual > Syntax and Operators, Conditional Syntax, Functions, Tasks.
- Variables: Reference Manual Variables Glossary plus references/variables-core.md.
- Classes: Reference Manual Classes plus references/classes-core.md.
- QA errors: Reference Manual QA messages plus references/qa-errors.md.
- Layers: Development Tasks Manual > Layers, BitBake concepts for layers and appends.
- Recipes: Development Tasks Manual > Writing a New Recipe, Reference Manual Tasks and Classes.
- BSP/kernel: BSP Guide, Kernel Development Manual, relevant class and variable entries.
- Security/SBOM/CVE/license: Security Manual, Security Reference, Reference Manual classes and variables.
- Image/rootfs: Development Tasks Manual image customization, package management, and Reference Manual image/rootfs tasks.
Output
Answer with:
- assumed or detected release
- official manual section to check
- local file/log/command that confirms the issue
- next focused skill to use, if any:
