Conversation
Four-phase workflow for adding a new input device to IsaacTeleop: orient in the codebase, interview and write a device.spec.yaml, build node by node with per-node verification, then report. SKILL.md is the single registered entry point and routes to phases/; examples/ holds one filled spec per device type plus a template. Signed-off-by: Xinghua Sun <xinghuas@nvidia.com>

Default new specifications to draft.
Phase 1 requires user approval before it changes draft → ready. SKILL.md starts Phase 2 for any specification with status: ready. Copying this template makes an incomplete plan eligible for implementation before approval.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

All four specs contradict their own NOTE about removed *Tracked schema tables. Each file states that *Tracked wrapper tables were removed upstream and that a schema is Output + Record + root_type only, but each node1 still lists a *Tracked table and some checks still require a tracked-wrapper round-trip. An agent following these specs will target schema tables that the NOTE says no longer exist.

🌐 Web query:
CTest command run outside the build directory when no CTestTestfile.cmake exists exit code no tests found
💡 Result:
When you run the ctest command in a directory that does not contain a CTestTestfile.cmake, the behavior depends on your CMake version [1][2]. Historically, ctest would often print a message like "No test configuration file found!" [3] or "No tests were found!!!" [4][5] and might return a success (0) exit code depending on the exact version and whether it was running in a standard mode or script mode [6][7][8]. However, as of CMake 4.4, CTest has been updated to explicitly handle this scenario [1][2]. If no arguments are provided to ctest and no CTestTestfile.cmake exists, it will now return a non-zero exit code [1][2]. To explicitly control how CTest behaves when no tests are found, you can use the --no-tests option [1][9]: --no-tests=error: Causes CTest to return a non-zero (error) exit code if no tests are found or executed [1][2]. --no-tests=ignore: Causes CTest to ignore the fact that no tests were found [1][2][6]. If you are trying to run tests from a directory other than the build directory where the CTestTestfile.cmake was generated, you should use the --test-dir option (available since CMake 3.20) to point ctest to the correct location [10][11]. Alternatively, you can change your working directory to the build directory before running the command [10][3].

Run CTest against the configured build tree.
Bare ctest uses the current directory, not the directory passed to cmake -B. Use ctest --test-dir build ... or (cd build && ctest ...). Use build312 for commands that build build312. Otherwise the checks can run zero tests or fail without testing the configured suite.

Description
Adds a Claude Code skill that walks a coding agent through onboarding a new input device plugin into IsaacTeleop, so it's easier for vendors to add their devices without the context of isaacteleop. The skill runs in four phases, interview the user and write a
device.spec.yaml, implement it node by node verifying each, then report what changed:Type of change
Testing
Benchmarked in a container across Claude Code, Codex and Cursor over four synthetic devices. Each run is an independent
docker runthat applies the agent's patch to a clean tree, builds, runs ctest, and executes the agent's own e2e script against a headless CloudXR runtime.Then run multiple times on real hardware, a UMI gripper and a pair of Manus glove (in a container where hand related devices are removed). The agent recognised umi gripper as a joint-space device and reused
joint_stateend to end, wrote the plugin and its tests, built clean, and passed tests. Also recognized manus glove as hand device using hand.fbs and handinjector.Checklist
