Yocto Recipe Review
Review and improve Yocto/OpenEmbedded recipes, bbappends, bbclasses, package splits, dependencies, licensing, source fetching, patch handling, install logic, systemd/init integration, PACKAGECONFIG, and modern BitBake override syntax. Use for .bb, .bbappend, .bbclass, recipe diffs, recipe modernization, packaging errors, or metadata code review.

- ✓ Prompt-injection patterns
- ✓ Secret / credential exfiltration
- ✓ Dangerous shell & filesystem operations
- ✓ Untrusted network calls
- ✓ Known-malicious package signatures
What it can access
- ✓ Network access No
- ✓ Filesystem access No
- ✓ Shell / process execution No
- ✓ Environment & secrets No
- ✓ Dynamic code execution No
From automated source analysis of v0.1.0. “Used” means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it’s unsafe.

Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

SYSTEMD_SERVICE:${PN}Findings to Prioritize
- old override syntax in a modern layer without a release reason
- missing or vague
LICENSEandLIC_FILES_CHKSUM ${AUTOREV}in production metadata- missing
DEPENDSfor headers, libraries, generated code tools, or-nativetools - runtime dependency added to
DEPENDSinstead ofRDEPENDS: - installed files not covered by
FILES:* - installing outside
${D} - host path or host tool contamination
- unnecessary
INSANE_SKIP - patch entries with missing upstream status or fuzz
- bbappend that is too version-specific or too broad for the intended target
Modern Syntax
Prefer:
FILES:${PN} += "${bindir}/tool"
RDEPENDS:${PN} += "bash"
PACKAGECONFIG:append = " feature"
do_install:append() {
install -d ${D}${bindir}
}Avoid _append, _prepend, _remove, and old package override syntax unless the target release requires it.
